Cattle farm planning

When planning a cattle farm, it is generally best to choose flat land with a relatively large area, sufficient surrounding water and far away from the urban area. After selecting the land, the foundation, wall, doors and windows, roof, cow bed, feeding trough, passageway, ditch and so on will be built according to the number of breeding.

How to plan the construction of the cattle farm?

1, the foundation and wall: the foundation depth is 8-100 cm, the brick wall is 24 cm thick, the double-slope barn ridge is 4.0-5.0 m, and the front and rear eaves are 10-3.5 m high. The lower part of the inner wall of the barn is not surrounded by the wall to prevent moisture from infiltrating into the wall and improve the firmness and insulation of the wall.

2. Doors and windows: the door is 2.1-2.2 meters high and 2-2.5 meters wide. The door is generally set as a double door, but also can be set up and down to roll the door. The enclosed window should be larger, 1.5 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, and the windowsill should be 1.2 meters high from the ground.

3, site area: beef cattle production, cattle farm management, staff life and other ancillary buildings need a certain space and space. The size of the cattle farm can be calculated according to the required area of each cow and combined with long-term planning. The area of the cowshed and other houses is 15-20% of the total area of the site. Due to the difference in body size, production purpose and feeding methods, the cowshed area occupied by each cow is also different. The area required for each fattening cow is 1.6-4.6 square meters. The fattening barn with bedding grass accounts for 2.3-4.6 square meters, and each cow with fattening pen accounts for 1.6-2.0 square meters.

4. Roofs: double-sloping roofs are the most commonly used. This type of roof is suitable for long-span barns and for all kinds of cattle herds of all sizes. This kind of roof is economical, insulating and easy to build.

5. Cattle beds and grooves: most beef farms are fed through grooves. Cattle beds are generally required to be 1.6-1.8 meters long and 1.0-1.2 meters wide. The slope of the cow bed is 1.5%, and the position of the end of the cow trough is high. The feeding trough is located in front of the cow bed, and the fixed cement trough is the most suitable for raising cattle, with a width of 0.6-0.8 meters on the top and a width of 0.35-0.40 meters at the bottom, with a height of 0.35 meters on the inner edge (on one side of the cowbed) and 0.6-0.8 meters on the outer edge (on one side of the aisle). In order to operate easily and save labor, a high channel should be built, and it is better to combine the channel with low slot. That is, the outer edge of the groove and the channel are on the same horizontal plane.

6. Passageway and ditch: double row barn with head feeding, the middle passage is 1.4-1.8 meters wide. The width should be the raw meter that the feeder can pass, the depth is 0. 15-0. 3m, and the inclination is 1:50-1100.

The above is the relevant introduction of the cattle farm planning, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
