# ‘Extra Energy Is Essential to Withstand the Cold’: Livestock Institute Issues Winter Management Guidance

> South Korea’s National Institute of Animal Science advised farmers to increase cattle feed rations by 10–20% during cold weather and provide adequate quality forage and lukewarm water. It also issued temperature, ventilation, insulation, and facility-safety guidance for pigs, poultry, and other livestock ahead of cold snaps and heavy snow.

## Why it matters

Cold conditions can raise animals’ energy needs and feed consumption, potentially adding modest demand for feed grains and protein meals. The guidance is preventive and does not quantify a nationwide increase in feed use.
