In cold weather, doors and windows should be closed strictly and cushions with good thermal insulation performance should be added to ensure the dryness and hygiene of pigeon houses. Reasonable arrangement of meat pigeon breeding, pigeon house temperature for a long time below 0 ℃, should stop breeding, let pigeon rest. In the diet, energy feed should be increased appropriately. Can add sesame seeds, rapeseed and so on.

Each meat pigeon should drink 2535 ml of water, and the water temperature should be natural to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. It is forbidden to drink overheated, cold and frozen water. It is best to drink about 20 ℃ of warm water in cold weather.
