Tips For Surviving A Power Outage

Anyone at any time is at risk of loosing their power.  Most often we're at work when this happens!  Having a generator on hand is the best scenario, especially one that automatically turns on in the event of a power failure but if you aren't fortunate enough to own one, below are a few things you can do to help keep your livestock...alive.

The 2 most important factors are heat loss & oxygen depletion.

Heat loss:  Heat water any way you can & fill 2 liter soda bottles (or any clean plastic or glass container you can put a cover on & seal.  Sink the bottle(s) in your tank.  Repeat when the bottle(s) cool.

Oxygen:  Battery operated air pumps are inexpensive (especially when compared to potential livestock deaths!) & everyone should have one (or more) on hand along with airline tubing and air stones.
