Winter Beards for Chickens? 🐓❄️
Some chicken breeds, like the Ameraucana or Faverolles, grow fluffy “beards” and muffs of feathers around their faces. These act as natural insulation, helping them stay warm in cold weather!

Christmas Hazards for Pets: Tips for a Safe Holiday Season

The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also bring unexpected dangers for pets. Veterinarian scientist, Dr. Beverly Wilkinson highlights common hazards to watch out for to keep your furry family members safe:

🎁 Tinsel and Decorations: Tinsel can cause intestinal blockages if ingested, especially in cats. Opt for pet-friendly decorations, secure electrical cords, and use flameless candles.

🌿 Toxic Plants: Poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly are toxic to pets. Use artificial alternatives or keep these plants out of reach.

🍫 Holiday Foods: Avoid sharing chocolate, grapes, raisins, xylitol (in sugar-free products), onions, garlic, or alcohol with your pets. These can cause serious health issues, from kidney failure to anemia.

💧 Christmas Tree Water: Tree water may contain toxic additives. Cover the base to prevent pets from drinking it.

🥐 Yeast Dough: Rising dough can expand in the stomach, causing pain and bloating. Fermentation also produces alcohol, compounding the risk.

⚠️ Signs of Trouble: Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, seizures, lethargy, or unusual behavior. If you suspect your pet has ingested something harmful, contact your veterinarian or a poison control hotline immediately:

• ASPCA Animal Poison Control: (888) 426-4435

• Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661

Prevention is Key: Keep harmful items out of reach and monitor your pets during holiday activities. With a little care, you can ensure a safe and joyful holiday season for all.

🐄 Keep your livestock thriving this winter! ❄️

As temperatures drop, animals like cattle, sheep, and horses need extra energy to stay warm and healthy. While increasing feed helps, livestock don’t always absorb all the nutrients they need to thrive during cold months.

Replamin® Gel is specially formulated to help boost nutrient absorption and help strengthen energy production and immune function. By optimizing how your animals use their feed, it ensures they get the extra support they need to stay healthy, warm, and productive all winter long.

Give your livestock the advantage they deserve this season with Replamin® Gel!

Did you know that goats aren't the indiscriminate grazers many people think they are? 🐐

In fact, these creatures can be quite selective when it comes to their meals. Their sensitive lips play a crucial role in how they choose what to eat.

👄 Goats use those nimble lips to explore and "mouth" potential food sources, seeking out only the freshest and tastiest options available.

Surprisingly, they'll often turn up their noses at hay that's been trampled on or left lying around for too long.

So next time you see a goat munching away, remember: they're not just gobbling anything—they’re discerning diners with refined tastes! 🍽️
