ANZM specialists recommend that during this period, animals should be prepared for grazing by administering green fodder alternately with dry fodder, in order to avoid diarrhea and bloating after consuming only green feed on pasture.

Additionally:

• Ensuring a program of exercise for the animals that will go out to pasture by taking them for walks or placing them in paddocks;
• Carrying out spring sanitary-veterinary treatments for farm animals (deworming for sheep and cattle);
• Cleaning hooves for animals that have wintered in shelters;
• Selling lambs to customers or on the open market;
• Starting to milk the ewes that gave birth during the winter months;
• General inspection in the apiary and sanitary check of bee families;
• Disinfection, insect control, and rodent control of shelters. (Photo: Dreamstime)
