Die Draadwerf FeedLots

The design objectives for a feedlot production pen are to:

• • Provide an environment for cattle where production performance and animal welfare are maximised
• • Promote safe access for cattle to and from the pen
• • Minimise environmental impacts such as odour and dust
• • Promote drainage to provide a comfortable environment for cattle and minimise environmental impact
• • Optimise the management and removal of manure from the pens
• • Minimise ongoing maintenance costs
• • Provide a safe working environment for pen riders and other feedlot personnel.

Construction of a new feedlot or expansion of an existing feedlot requires adequate planning.

The goals of planning cattle feedlots are to:

• • Minimize animal and worker stress during handling,
• • Feed cattle in an adequate and efficient manner,
• • Provide well drained cattle space,
• • Maintain efficiency and profitability of feeding operations, and
• • Protect the surrounding environment.
