1. Ventilation and light: Calves need a dry, wind-free environment, so the barn should be located in a well-ventilated location to ensure air circulation and avoid disease of calves. At the same time, the calf house should be placed in a sunny place to ensure that the calves can receive enough sunlight to promote their growth and development.
2. Terrain and drainage: Choose a high and dry place with convenient drainage to place the barn. The high elevation protects against natural disasters such as flooding, while also facilitating ventilation and light. Convenient drainage can ensure that sewage and rainwater on the island can be discharged in time to keep the barn dry and sanitary.
3. Stay away from pollution sources: The barn should be far away from septic tanks, feed warehouses and other facilities to avoid contamination and cross infection. At the same time, small cattle sheds should maintain an effective quarantine distance from other large cattle sheds to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
4. Supporting facilities: The calf barn should have perfect supporting facilities, such as feeding trough, drinking bucket, feeding bucket, etc., to ensure the growth and health of calves. These facilities should be reasonably designed to facilitate feeding and drinking of calves.
5. Durability and stability: Choose durable and stable materials to build the barn to ensure that it can be used for a long time and remain safe. For example, consider using materials such as preservative wood or durable metals.
6. Cost and environmental protection: When choosing a calf shed, it is also necessary to consider its cost and environmental performance. On the premise of meeting the functional requirements, try to choose cost-effective and environmentally friendly materials and design solutions to reduce the cost of farming and reduce the impact on the environment.
