In winter season it's common occuring problem with cattle because of low rearing mangment. Cold stress in cows  can occur when frigid temperatures cause muscle shivering, increased heart rate, and deeper breathing .  This can lead to an increased metabolism rate, which requires more nutrients and energy signs of cold stress in cows Decreased water consumption Lower respiration and heart rate Delayed return of ovulation Hypothermia Feeling cold to the touch Dullness Agalactia (sudden and dramatic milk drop) Ataxia Falling over Profuse diarrhea Farmer should know how to manage cattle in winter season 1.
