Precautions for winter farming cover multiple aspects, including livestock and poultry breeding, aquaculture, and crop cultivation. The following sections provide detailed explanations:
I. Precautions for Livestock and Poultry Raising
Livestock and poultry housing maintenance and warmth preservation
Conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of livestock and poultry houses and facilities, reinforce hazardous buildings, and prevent air and water leaks.
Block wind holes, hang straw curtains, and seal windows to prevent drafts and cold winds from entering.
Feed Management
Avoid feeding frozen feed and cold water; ensure that both feed and drinking water are at an appropriate temperature.
Green and succulent feeds should be stored indoors, while compound feeds can be piled up for fermentation before being fed.
Grass-eating animals such as cattle and sheep should be appropriately supplemented with concentrated feed and cultivated forage.
Ventilation and air exchange
Keep the air in livestock and poultry houses fresh to prevent ammonia poisoning and respiratory diseases.
The ventilation time should be adjusted according to the condition of livestock and poultry; promptly close windows or vents when the temperature drops.
Disease prevention and control
Strengthen animal disease prevention efforts and promptly disinfect and isolate livestock and poultry houses.
Add multiple vitamins to drinking water to enhance the animals' resistance to diseases.
Regularly conduct health checks on livestock and poultry, and promptly diagnose and treat any diseases.
Fire safety
Livestock and poultry farms should pay special attention to fire prevention and equip themselves with fire-fighting equipment.
Closely monitor potential risks and hazards, conduct fire safety inspections, and ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment.
II. Precautions for Aquaculture
Stocking of fish species
Early stocking of fish species allows them to adapt to their new living environment earlier.
The release of fish species should be carried out on a sunny day when the water temperature is not too low.
Frost damage prevention
Set up an artificial barrier on the north side of the fish pond to block the north wind.
Smoking provides warmth and reduces the severity of frost.
Release aquatic plants to allow the fish to warm up and ward off the cold among the vegetation.
Add warm water by injecting warmed shallow pond water into the fishpond during the sunny afternoon.
Feed and Water Quality Management
The fish are soaked in a disinfectant solution when they are released into the pond.
Improve water quality, but avoid applying organic fertilizers.
Regularly patrol the ponds and promptly address any issues that arise, such as oxygen deficiency leading to fish surfacing.
Disease prevention and control
Diagnose fish diseases promptly and administer appropriate treatments to prevent fish mortality.
In winter, fish are in a state of hunger and are prone to diseases such as saprolegniasis; therefore, management should be strengthened.
III. Precautions for Crop Cultivation (Winter Planting)
Crop Selection
Choose crops suitable for winter planting, such as winter-hardy crops like wheat and barley.
Soil and Fertilizer
Choose fertile, well-drained soil for planting.
Add an appropriate amount of organic or chemical fertilizer according to the crop’s needs.
Irrigation Management
Control the irrigation amount to avoid excessive moisture that could lead to root hypoxia.
Cold-proof and heat-preserving
Cover with plastic film or set up windbreaks to provide insulation and block cold winds.
In summary, winter livestock and poultry farming requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects, including the inspection and insulation of animal housing, feed management, ventilation, disease prevention and control, fire safety, and crop cultivation. Only by carrying out all these tasks thoroughly can we ensure the smooth operation of winter farming and enhance its economic benefits.

Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
