How to build a cattle chamber

If you have decided to engage in breeding cattle, then for their content you will need a special premises. It can be built on its own. But before starting construction, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements that the pen for the content of animals should be answered.

Requirements for the room

When building a chart for livestock, it is necessary to understand that this room must respond to the parameters of quality:

1. Animal premises should not have cracks so that in winter it is enough to keep warm enough, and also need to follow purity.
2. In addition, during construction, it is necessary to observe the corresponding area of \u200b\u200bthe total space depending on the number of livestock. Health, as well as the productivity of agricultural animals, directly depends on the conditions of their content.
3. Up to 8 months in a year, domestic cattle is in the pen, so it is necessary to build it in compliance with all sanitary and hygienic standards.
4. The content of animals in a warm light room will reduce feed consumption, while sufficient livestock productivity will remain. In the absence of optimal conditions (unfavorated premises, in which the desired temperature level is not observed, there is no necessary lighting, the dampness is increased), the productivity of animals is reduced. Food consumption increases.

Also unsatisfactory conditions of detention contribute to the development of diseases of the respiratory and digestion organs. Thus, if the pon is erected incorrectly, it will only bring money losses and deterioration of livestock health.

Criteria for choosing a place for construction

To build pens for animals on your farm, it is necessary to choose the right place in accordance with certain criteria:

• the distance between residential buildings and the economic building should be at least 15 m;
• sources of water and cattle bladdies should separate the distance of 20 m. In case of non-compliance with these recommendations, water in wells and wells will become unsuitable for human consumption;
• a convenient option will be the location of the chapter near the garden or garden plot. In this case, you save time and power in the process of cleaning the manure.

We choose the material

Before making the pen is very important to determine the quality and type of material for the construction. For the walls you can apply logs, as well as boards, aerated concrete, foam concrete, brick. For the floor, concrete will become the most optimal and reliable choice. It is distinguished by strength, durability and hygienic qualities. You can also dwell on the global coating. It has good heat security.

Important! It is extremely recommended to use wood for flooring in a pen. This material is not practical for the floor by virtue of its briefness. It quickly succumbs to destruction, and absorbs odors.

For the insulation of the ceiling, experts use clay, the land that should be dry, as well as slag and sawdust. In addition, a slate or rubberoid should be prepared. It is very important to provide a cornice that will prevent water intake under the existing design.

The construction process of the head

Determining the dimensions of the future building, should be repelled from the norm 6 m ² on one cow. If replenishment occurs, this figure should increase to 9 m ².

The process of building a pen is occurring in the following sequence:

1. As with the construction of any room, I initially do the foundation. If it is not supposed to build a large-sized building, you can perform the foundation of the tape type. If the soil is not loose, the base must be gluable by 50-70 cm.
2. Then it should be put on a formwork and pour with stone-cement mortar. The foundation from concrete will not allow the design to collapse.
3. You should also put a laying from bitumen or roofing to isolation from moisture.
4. At the next stage, we build a wall. Brick, thanks to good ventilation ability, create the necessary microclimate in the future structure.
5. Next, we build gender. To do this, it is necessary to create a level that must exceed the land by 10-15 cm. In this case, it is necessary to make a bias in the direction of the sump.
6. The concrete surface of the floor covering should be covered with wooden removable shields. At the end of the edge, we perform a groove with a depth of 15 cm, width - up to 30 cm.
7. During the construction process, it is also necessary to provide for the discharge of the JIGI, for which it is necessary to equip the dung chute.
8. Also during the construction of the construction, take care of the possibility of removing manure. For this, door and window openings must have appropriate parameters.
9. Make the windows necessarily with double glazing and opening outers for ventilation.
10. Next construct the roof. For such a building, a single design is suitable. The attic can be done at discretion, but its presence becomes a convenient place to store the hay and will retain heat. For the roof structure, we use puepy boards. If necessary, we config them for full fit.
11. Next, the layer of thermal insulation, and on top of the slate lie. It is necessary to take into account the presence of a small inclination to remove incoming precipitation.
12. In the pen it is necessary to provide partitions. The altitude of them ranges from 80 cm to 140 cm. They should easily be removed so that in the event of a change in the number, there are no redevelopment problems.
13. Building ready.

We draw up Zagon

After the business room is built, it is necessary to equip it correctly. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the following points:

1. An important role for the functioning of the covered pad for large animals is the lighting. To have the opportunity to air the room and ensure the fall of the sun rays, you need to provide windows of the correct proportions. To calculate the area of \u200b\u200bwindows should be guided by 1:10 criteria with floor area. The openings should be at a distance of 1.2 m from the floor.
2. It is equally important to take care of the influx of fresh air. The optimal temperature is 10 ° C. With this indicator, the energy in the body of the animal is distributed optimally and, as a result, the weight and milk increases. However, it should be noted that drafts that can lead to illness are extremely desirable for animals. For ventilation, you can install a pipe that will provide a constant flow of fresh air.
3. Also, the pen must also be equipped with troughs, stalls and drinkers. Purchase feeds should be based on such rules: for a cow - 0.8 m, for a calf - 0.5 m, for a sow - 0.5 m, sheep and goats - 0.3 m.

Summer Zagon

It is advisable to build two pens - on summer and winter periods. In winter, animals will be cold in an open piping, and in the summer period in the winter room will concentrate dampness. If the farm has only a winter room, over time it can be contrary and become unsuitable for further use.

In the hot season for livestock, a canopy is suitable. It will take four columns to be installed for its structure, the height of which is 2.4 m. Next using runneroid or slate, you need to make a single roof. So that animals did not annoy the insects such a canopy expediently protect the grid.

Also choosing material for construction, security should be provided in the event of a fire. The most optimal option in this regard will be the use of materials from natural components. Synthetic substances in the case of burning are distinguished by suffocation pairs.

Homemade

For the content of farm animals, you can also make a dugout. For its construction it is important to choose the right place. It is not worth building a dugout in low and raw place, since the groundwater is close to the surface. The general construction scheme looks like this:

1. We choose a place and dig a pit, the depth of which should be 70 cm. The recess must have the shape of the rectangle, its walls should be of the form of even slopes that approve to the bottom. The width and length of the pit depends on the number of livestock.
2. Next, we set the chairs from the tree and on them on the pre-stipulated spikes along the entire length, plan the runs.
3. On top of these elements by mounting the rafter with the existing tightening.
4. Then at the corners of the pit need to burn the chairs into the ground. They will also be supported to put out the runs. The sleepers in them will need to fill the male deck, which will perform the role of the inner surface of the walls.
5. After that, we score the space of the earth remaining from the coppe.

Construction of a cattle chandelik - the case is responsible and requires a competent approach. If you come to this question professionally, it is quite possible to build a high-quality pen, which will be comfortable for animals. And this, in turn, will contribute to obtaining decent income.
