在天气炎热期关爱牲畜

　   AUSTRALIA – Farm animals lack the temperature regulation abilities humans have, and need sufficient shelter and water during hot spells, rural Australians are hearing.Water access should be checked, with poultry welfare also a priority, according to a timely announcement from the Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA).

　　“Keep water troughs clean – especially when moving stock into a new paddock as evaporation can cause trough water to become very saline and undrinkable,” advised PIRSA deputy state controller, Roger Paskin.“If possible don’t let animals access dams as they can be boggy and animals accessing the water may get stuck.”Farmers should be doing daily checks for heat stress, he added.Tell-tale signs are restlessness, vocalisation, panting and drooling.
