THE IMPORTANCE OF SHEEP SHELTERS IN COLD CLIMATE REGION

Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Agriculture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4

Abstract

Sheep farming is one of the important elements of animal husbandry. Since animals spend the winter and summer seasons in different regions in sheep breeding, sheep farming is shaped depending on pastures. This situation results in differences to meet animal needs such as feeding and accommodation of animal, drinking water, etc. depending on the structure of the region. Sheep breeders focus on animal nutrition and they do not show too much care to structures and surrounding areas of animal barn. Large amount of waste are released into the environment when sheep are grazing in different pastures. Appropriate shelter should be designed for animals to protect from rain and snow in winter, hot in summer especially at times when the sun's intense, and environmental pollution. Several factors have great importance for proper designing of animal shelter. Sufficient space should be left per animal and animal shelters should have adequate ventilation and waste management systems. Otherwise, due to the structural problems, some negative results will occur. Animals may be hurt each other, harmful gases increase and reaches dangerous levels, environmental pollution happens; stress in animals, reduction in feed consumption and results in reduced of yield. Considering all these factors, suitable for sheep farming in cold climate regions and designed according to local conditions, healthy, efficient and applicable plans and recommendations will present in our study.
