Catte too affected with dry weather conditions

News

The cattle farmers at Anamaduwa, Thonigala area are finding it difficult to provide drinking water for their cattle as all the small tanks at the area had completely dried off.

The cows which are deprived of water in the tanks and are also affected by lack of fresh grass are finding it difficult to survive the hot days. The owners of the cattle are forced to take the cattle into areas where little amount of pastures are left so their cattle can graze.

As the cattle are struggling to survive during the heat of the day, most of their owners take their cows and oxen to houses equipped with groundwater wells or pipe born water to give cattle drinking water as well as baths during the heat of the day.
