Among the many factors that lead to the success or failure of dairy farms, one of the most important factors is housing. One aspect that stands out in successful dairy farms is housing system that requires less labor. Inevitably, successful dairy farmers choose sheds which provide a comfortable and healthy environment to animals. The designs help manage space including storage efficiently and take care of bio-security measures in the dairy farm.
The type of drainage system that your housing design has will determine how much you have to spend on manure disposal. Additionally, the incidence of diseases due to flies and ticks in your dairy farm will also be influenced by housing design. The most common diseases in dairy animals such as mastitis have a strong correlation with the type of floor design and the overall housing systems that you choose.
Did you know that dairy animals need to lie down and take rest for at least 12 to 14 hours in a day? Increasing lying time improves the health and reduces the incidence of lameness in dairy animals. If a dairy animal gets around 5 litres of water from all sources, then it can produce one litre of milk from it. Hence she must have access to a constant supply of clean fresh water at all times.
