Wintervoer
Wintervoer refers to the practice of providing supplementary food to livestock during the winter months. This is often necessary because natural forage, such as grass and pasture, becomes scarce or inaccessible due to snow cover and freezing temperatures. The goal of wintervoer is to ensure animals receive adequate nutrition for survival, maintenance, and, in some cases, growth and reproduction.
The type of wintervoer varies greatly depending on the species of animal, local climate, and available resources.
Challenges associated with wintervoer include the cost of feed, storage, and the labor involved in distribution.
