Livestock
Buildings for beef, sheep and pigs will differ considerably
in their respective design requirements but the following
factors provide a starting point in developing the design
brief...
- Space allowances
- Segregation of age groups and special care for young
animals
- Animal handling and movements
- Ventilation and environment
- Waste management
- Feeding and forage
- Vehicle movements
- Health and safety in operation
This list is not exhaustive and a number of the issues
will be determined by criteria specified by assurance based
schemes and groups. Detailed knowledge of these requirements
is essential to achieving a viable design.
