Contact us to learn more about how Agri Span can change the momentum of your farm through configurable livestock housing that ensures quality and comfort.
A farm’s requirements for housing livestock can vary greatly depending on the type of animals being raised; commercial herds of cattle and calves, flocks of sheep, lambs, and goats, as well as the rearing of pigs at a commercial scale—each demand different levels of space to prevent overcrowding and stress. Additionally, providing good natural lighting is crucial to promoting natural behaviours and maintaining a healthy day/night cycle for the animals.
Given these diverse needs, there is a growing demand for versatile housing options that can be easily configured to match the specific requirements for livestock housing, including feeding demands and weather conditions.
During calving and lambing seasons, special attention must be given to details such as temperature control, the ability to separate areas for birthing, and the installation of feeding and watering mechanisms. It’s also important to ensure good access for farm vehicles and equipment and ample airflow to facilitate fresh air circulation within the housing structures.
A modern and transformative option for achieving this, which has been gaining significant traction recently, is the integration of modular housing for livestock designed for commercial farming. These modular structures are a far superior alternative to traditional farm buildings and revolutionise commercial farming operations through sheer performance.
Read on to learn why you should consider installing them within your space and what benefits and opportunities this opens up in optimising your commercial farming.
Key benefits of opting for modular livestock housing
Agri Span, an innovative solution to livestock housing guarantees optimal welfare conditions by prioritising comfort, health, and adaptability for commercial farming.
Enhanced quality and production rates
Modular housing for livestock plays a big part in improving the quality and production rates of farming outputs by creating a conducive environment. In addition, significant research indicates that animals raised in comfortable and stress-free environments show signs of increased growth rates, better feed conversion ratios, and higher reproductive efficiency. This translates directly into higher-quality products, such as meat, milk, or wool. Such high-quality products will then lead to exceeding industry standards and consumer expectations. With modular housing structures like Agri Span, which prioritises elements such as ample space, natural lighting, and ventilation, livestock can thrive.
Disease prevention
Modular housing for livestock creates controlled environments that significantly reduce the risk of pathogen transmission and disease outbreaks. Traditional structures may expose livestock to stressors, such as variations in temperature and humidity, which can affect their immunity and increase the risk of diseases. With the right ventilation and climate control, this risk that comes from unfavourable conditions, such as respiratory illnesses or heat stress-related disorders, is reduced. Modular housing like Agri Span provides a barrier against these elements, utilising features such as PVC-coated fabric roof sheets and sturdy mesh for superior airflow to maintain optimal conditions inside.
Efficient space utilisation
Unlike traditional barns or fixed structures, modular housing offers flexibility in design and layout, allowing farmers to customise the space according to their specific needs and preferences. By utilising their space efficiently, farmers can accommodate more animals per unit area without compromising their well-being. This space utilisation not only maximises the farm’s productivity but also betters resource allocation, reducing overall operational costs and improving profitability. Also, the ability to redeploy or configure Agri Span provides additional flexibility in land management, allowing farmers to rotate grazing areas or change housing arrangements based on seasonal or operational needs.
