Effects of Cold Stress on Livestock
We can’t control the weather but we can try do everything possible to reduce the effects of cold temperatures and windchill on livestock
Winter months in the northern latitudes can bring significant cold stress to livestock. They must acclimatize to prolonged periods of cold temperatures and sudden arctic blasts of extremely cold weather. Animals with a good body condition score (BCS) and access to shelter are better able to withstand both severe and lengthy cold periods.
