3)D - Cattle Housing
The purpose of this Unit is to introduce the need for well planned housing in order to achieve the best production from animals, ensure better stock-manship and minimise the threat of disease being incubated and spread.
On completion of the Unit students will have a good understanding of requirements and the options open will make sure that money spent on new housing is well spent or that the most is made of existing buildings.
