Cold weather and livestock feed requirements
by Scott Duggan
W.S. OSU Extension
This month has produced
a variety of cold weather,
including rain, wet snow, dry
snow, fog and very cold tem-
peratures. This reminds me
of how vulnerable livestock
can be in cold, wet weather.
As old folks used to say
about cattle and winter,
“February will shake ’em and
March will take ’em.”
Our December weather
was at times like March
weather. So here is some key
information about feeding
livestock in the winter.
Livestock in general is
very well equipped to handle
cold weather. Mother Nature
gives these animals a thick
hair coat that keeps them well
protected down to 18 degrees.
When it dips below this
critical temperature, animals
will need to burn extra energy
to stay warm.
However, if animals get
soaked by a wet, heavy snow,
and their coat is wet to the
skin, then the critical tempera-
ture may be reached at 59 de-
grees.
If the coat stays wet and
night time temperatures plum-
met into the teens, this com-
bination can be deadly.
Ranchers can help their
livestock combat these cold
temperatures by increasing
the amount of forage fed and
by increasing the quality of
the forage.
Digesting forages takes
energy and a by-product of
this process is heat. This heat
generated from breaking
down fibrous feedstuffs can
really help animals on cold,
winter nights.
Another strategy for deal-
ing with the cold weather is
to feed cattle in the late af-
ternoon.
The heat from digestion
peaks a few hours after a
meal, so offering meals in the
evening can help cattle cope
with the cold nighttime tem-
peratures.
Using cattle as an example,
a general rule to follow is
when temperatures drop be-
low the critical temperature
for livestock of 18 degrees,
cattle owners need to increase
the amount of feed provided
by about 1 percent for every
degree below 18 degrees in
dry cold. If there is wind or
rain then you need to increase
even more.
Also, as many ranchers al-
ready know, the thinner the
cow gets, the more feed re-
quired to keep her warm.
Keeping cows in good
body condition not only keeps
them warm in the winter, but
sets them up to have a
healthy calf in the spring.
