From setting up equipment to creating stocks of vegetables and hay. How the Grodno Zoo prepares for winter

With the arrival of autumn, all the efforts of the employees of the Grodno Zoo are aimed at preparing for the winter season. This is reported in the Telegram channel of the Grodno zoo, writes sb.by.

Each structural unit of the zoo prepares for the cold, taking into account its specifics. Thus, the economic department checks the condition of the water supply, heating system and electrical equipment. All communications should be put in perfect order so that in frosty weather there are no failures in their work.

In an enhanced mode, the forage kitchen also works. In warehouses and storage facilities, harvesting of vegetables, hay and branch feed is in full swing.

Veterinary services are especially well prepared for the winter. Specialists are actively stocking up on rose hips, mountain ash, zucchini, apples, branches of fruit trees and shrubs. All these stocks they carefully dry in the attic of the veterinary building. In winter, they will be distributed as a delicacy and vitamin feeding to almost all pets of the zoo - from insects, fish and parrots to ungulates and large predators.
