As temperatures drop in autumn, it's crucial to prepare animal shelters for warmth and dryness. Straw and sawdust are traditional materials used by farmers to maintain a comfortable environment. Straw provides insulation by creating a barrier against cold floors and retains air for thermal insulation. It should be clean and dry, replaced when soiled. Sawdust can absorb moisture but must be chosen carefully, avoiding treated wood and fine dust that can irritate respiratory systems. Proper shelter preparation includes checking roofs and walls for leaks, ensuring dry floors, maintaining ventilation, and providing clean water and appropriate food. Avoid sealing all openings, as this can trap moisture and harmful gases.
