Caring for dairy during cold season

Some of the Guernseys Dairy cows at Kabarak Farm Dairies in Nakuru on August 7,2023. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]

Dear Dr Othieno, I am a dairy cow farmer who also keeps goats and sheep. This year has been extremely cold. To cope, as human beings, we have been forced to change our dress code and diet. I was wondering, as livestock farmers how can we help our animals cope? Are there any specific disease conditions we should expect during this cold weather?
