Products to Keep Your Livestock Healthy This Winter

Elzy Milling & Trade LTD. in Bellville, Ohio

It's January, and all of us at Elzy Milling & Trade are still adjusting after the last couple of holiday months filled with comatose turkey, relaxation, and family and friends. Even so, January can be a slow month for some, and it can be easy to forget about important responsibilities, like checking in on your livestock to make sure that they’re happy and healthy. As farming production slows down this winter, it’s a good time to stock up on equipment.


Here are a few things you’ll want to remember: 


Your animals will have a difficult time maintaining body temperature during the winter months, even with wooly coats and furry pelts. Keeping them full and fed helps reduce this issue. Cows, for example, will typically ingest more hay during the winter, so you’ll want to have plenty of protein at the ready! Check out our feed solutions at 25 E Ogle St. in downtown Bellville. If we don’t have what you need, we can create custom orders tailored to your animal’s diet!


For some animals, forage isn’t enough to keep them healthy this season. If your livestock cannot get what they need from forage, there is another solution. Dietary supplements can be a gift to their immune system. We offer many wellness supplements at Elzy that can help improve your animal’s nutritional health.


You’ll also want to consider water temperatures when it gets chilly! Water can freeze during this time in Ohio, and that makes it difficult for your animals to stay hydrated. You’ll want your animals to get enough water to keep off that winter weight.  At Elzy, in addition to other hardware products, we carry heated buckets that will keep your water warm. 


So, whatever you might need to maintain the health of your animals, Elzy’s got it! Come to Elzy for your winter livestock, seed, fertilizer, and hardware needs, or call us at (419) 886-3840 with questions about our products.
