WILDFIRE SMOKE? WHAT TO DO FOR LIVESTOCK WHEN AIR QUALITY IS BAD

 

• Reduce activity and exercise. (Breathe less, not more.)

• Postpone stressful events like weaning, changing groups, vaccinations, & transporting, if possible, until air quality improves.

• Keep clean, fresh water always available. (Well hydrated respiratory tracts get less irritated.)

• Provide cooling such as shade, fans, misters, etc., if it is also hot (heat stress!).

• Reduce dust coming from feed or facilities, maybe by misting/sprinkling with water.

* Minimize other stressors!
