Care for Senior Livestock – Caring for aging cattle requires adjustments in their diet, health monitoring, and overall management.
Older cattle, like horses, often face dental issues, making it difficult for them to chew tougher feeds like hay. Providing softer feed options such as chopped hay or forage, along with high-quality protein supplements, can help ensure they get the nutrition they need.
Regular health checks are essential when providing care for senior livestock, as they are more prone to conditions like arthritis, respiratory issues, and digestive problems. Working with a veterinarian to develop a senior care plan that includes vaccinations, deworming, and regular hoof care can significantly improve their well-being.
Ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment is also important. Senior cattle may have difficulty competing for food and space, so providing separate feeding areas or smaller pastures can help reduce stress. Additionally, during colder months, offering shelter and bedding will help protect older cattle from the elements.
