Construction of New-Type Cattle Sheds

Standard cattle shed construction can use the following methods to raise the height of the shed: Using building materials to raise the shed can achieve an increase in height. Raising the shed with building materials can increase the space inside, improving the comfort of the cattle and the efficiency of breeding. By raising the shed, it is possible to increase sunlight exposure and reduce humidity accumulation, thereby improving air quality and environmental hygiene inside the barn. Additionally, raising the shed can also increase space for storing cattle feed, making more efficient use of the land resources on the farm. During the process of raising the shed, building materials suitable for the local climate and temperature, such as insulation and moisture-proof materials, can be selected. At the same time, relevant construction standards and safety regulations must be followed during construction to ensure the safety and quality of the work. To further enhance breeding efficiency, it is also possible to combine feed and forage management to improve cattle feeding efficiency and increase the economic benefits of the farm.

If the mountain grass source for free-range cattle is average, then 2-3 cattle can be raised per mu of land. If the mountain grass source is abundant, then 5-6 cattle can be raised per mu. Currently, many mountainous areas in southern China, such as Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, remain underutilized. These mountainous areas are covered with abundant wild grass, making them excellent resources for cattle farming. The cost of building a cattle shed mainly includes the following tasks: 1. Foundation work—if the foundation is solid, it can be directly compacted, followed by simple pillar foundations. 2. Workshop hoisting—considering it is only a cattle farm and not a processing workshop requiring a space of over ten meters high, it only needs to be accessible for normal transport vehicles. Can cattle be raised in vegetable greenhouses? Yes, it is encouraged. Raising cattle, sheep, and pigs in greenhouses, especially in winter, allows these livestock and poultry to grow particularly fast because the temperature inside the greenhouse is very high, which is suitable for their growth. For example, a pig raised free-range in the wild during winter can grow to 100 jin, while a pig raised in a greenhouse during winter can grow to 150 jin.
