Shed is a shelter for animals, where they shelter at night, as well as during illness. They spend a lot of time there, which means that it should be warm and clean. The health of livestock, their fertility and growth depends on this.
Corral
It is believed that this is in a crib, a traditional living quarters, once a baby was born to Virgin Mary. However, sterility does not smell at all there. On the contrary, manure is often piled up in pens and left with animals so that they do not freeze, because it roams and gives off heat.
Shed is a room specially created for cattle, the purpose of which is known throughout the world, and sheds of this type for cattle are being built everywhere. A small cattle for small livestock is called “backlog”, it usually contains goats. It differs from a large aviary only in size.
Sometimes the second floor is equipped in the aviary building, where they store straw, hay, edible preparations for the winter season and even firewood.
Construction
Covered enclosures are often built of wood, but due to winter cold, a wooden corral is necessarily insulated with polystyrene foam. Sometimes in construction they use stone or concrete, but they do not retain heat, therefore, they also need insulation. But a brick stable is a great option, it does not require a separate coating.
Under the floor, insulation must be made, and the floor itself is installed at a slight angle for draining feces and other secretions. This is an important point in keeping animals, because hygiene is necessary to avoid the development of infectious diseases. In addition, the litter should be straw
- this material absorbs moisture well and gives heat.
Ventilation in the stable is additionally installed; windows and doors alone are not enough. The temperature in winter cannot fall below +8 ° C, so it is recommended to periodically close the ventilation during severe frosts.
