Cattle farm planning

Foundation and wall: the depth of foundation is about 80 years, and the thickness of brick wall is about 24 years. Doors and windows: can be set to roll the door up and down, and the closed window needs to be larger. Site area: the area of the cowshed and other houses is 15-20% of the total area of the site. Roof: double sloping roof. Cow bed and feed trough: the feed trough needs to be located in front of the cow bed. Channel and ditch: the width of the channel is based on the ability of the feeder to pass through.

I. Foundation and wall

The depth of the foundation is about 80cm, the thickness of the brick wall is about 24cm, the ridge height of the double-slope cowshed is 4.0m-5.0m, and the height of the front and rear eaves is 10-3.5m. Generally, the lower part of the inner wall of the barn should be surrounded by the wall to avoid moisture infiltration into the wall, which is conducive to improving the firmness and insulation of the wall.

Second, doors and windows

Door height is 2.1-2.2 meters, width is 2-2.5 meters, the door is generally set to double doors, can also be set to roll up and down doors, generally closed windows need to be larger, 1.5 meters in height, 1.5 meters in width, the windowsill height is about 1.2 meters from the ground is appropriate.

III. Site area

1. General beef production, cattle farm management, staff life and other ancillary buildings need a certain site and space, so the size of the cattle farm can be calculated according to the required area of each cow and combined with long-term planning.

2. The area of the cowshed and other houses is between 15-20% of the total area of the site, and the cowshed area occupied by each cow is also different because of the difference in body size, production purpose, feeding method and so on.

3. The area required for each fattening cow is 1.6-4.6 square meters, 2.3-4.6 square meters for each cattle fattened with grass and 1.6-2.0 square meters for each cattle with fattening grass.

IV. Roof

The more commonly used is the double-slope roof, this type of roof can be used for long-span barns, can also be used for all kinds of cattle of all sizes, not only economic, thermal insulation, but also easy to build in the later stage.

Cattle bed and feeding trough

1. Beef farms are generally fed through grooves. The required length of the cowbed is 1.6-1.8 meters, the width is 1.0-1.2 meters, the slope of the cowbed is 1.5%, and the position of the end of the cow trough is high.

2. The feeding trough needs to be set in front of the cow bed, and the fixed cement trough is more suitable for raising cattle. Its upper width is 0.6-0.8 meters, the bottom width is 0.35-0.40 meters, it is arc-shaped, the height of the inner edge of the cow is 0.35 meters, and the height of the outer edge is 0.6-0.8 meters. Need to rely on the side of the aisle.

3. In order to operate conveniently and save labor, it is necessary to build a high channel, and it is appropriate to integrate the channel with a low slot, that is, the outer edge of the groove and the channel are on the same horizontal plane.

VI. Channel and faecal ditch

The width of the middle passage is 1.4m-1.8m, the width of the passageway is based on the capacity of the feeder, the depth is 0.15m-0.3m, and the inclination is 1:50-1100.
