The selection and arrangement of the cattle farm fence is very important to ensure the safety and comfort of the cattle. Here are some suggestions:
1.Choose the right material: The material of the fence should be strong and durable, able to withstand the impact and pressure of the cow. Common fencing materials include wood, metal, and electrical grids, among others. Timber fencing can provide a certain amount of softness and slow down the impact of the cattle;The metal fence is sturdy and durable, but you need to pay attention to the sharp edges;Grid fencing is suitable for cattle that are docile.
2.Make sure the height and spacing of the fences: The height of the fence should be high enough to prevent cattle from jumping or jumping over. For ordinary beef cattle, the fence height should generally be 12 meters or more;For cowboys or finishers, the fence height is higher. In addition, the spacing of the fence needs to be set reasonably to prevent the head or feet of the cattle from getting stuck.
3.Safe ground laying: The ground near the fence should be flat and stable to prevent the cattle's feet from getting stuck or slipping. It can be laid with concrete or solid soil, and cleaned up stagnant water and mud in a timely manner.
4.Set up safe areas: Safe areas can be set up in the cattle farm, such as observation tables or activity areas, for observing and handling cattle, which can effectively reduce the risk of direct contact with cattle.
5.Regular inspection and maintenance: Fences and fence accessories need to be inspected and maintained regularly, including checking the stability of the fence, whether the edges are sharp, whether the fixings are loose, etc. Repair and replace damaged parts in a timely manner to ensure the integrity and safety of the fence.
In addition, it is also necessary to reasonably select and set up cattle farm fences according to the habits and behavioral characteristics of cattle. For example, a cow's fence can be separated from a bull's fence at a distance to avoid mutual interference and conflict;For newborn calves, special fences and safety railings can be set up to prevent them from being injured during the event.
In short, the proper selection and arrangement of cattle farm fences can ensure the safety and comfort of cattle to the greatest extent, and also help to improve the efficiency of breeding. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the selection and arrangement of fences when designing and building cattle farms.
