Care and Housing
-
Housing design
Bedding
-
Sawdust-prone to capping when wet so holds ammonia from urine causing hock burn + dusty so leads to reparatory problems
-
Floors
-
Slatted floors to dispose of waste-correct size for species feet, not with young animals, rounded edges
Ventilation
Controls temperature, humidity, transfer of airborne pathogens + air quality
-
-
-
-
Building location
Align sheds >500m apart to avoid disease spread, away from sloping ground to avoid run off water, towards winds to minimise damage, good road access

Problems with houses
-
Ammonia emmisions-reduce protein content in feed, store manure in tanks, separately dispose urine
Dust-add oil to feed, use dust free bedding/cover with straw
Odour-cover source of smell, aerating slurry, insert into soil rather than laying on top
