Description

In winter, grass growth declines sharply and animal's demand increases with the passage of time. In Dec., affected by frostbite and low temperatures, pasture output drops greatly and cannot meet the needs of cattle. For this reason, in Nanning, late Dec. is considered the winter grazing in a critical period (WGCP). Huts and shelters should be put up in the areas where animals should continue to graze throughout the winter. It is relatively economical to give animal supplementary feeding started in late Dec.
