Raising livestock can be a challenge. There are many problems that can occur on a livestock farm, whether it is a small farm or a large operation. Solving these problems should be approached in the safest and most natural way possible.
Limiting exposure to serious illness is one of the most important jobs of a livestock manager, and there are definitely ways to reduce your risks. Wildlife management practices can be helpful, such as limiting the access of wildlife to your feeding areas. Deer, which can carry bovine TB, can be a particular problem if they come into contact with hay or other feed. Hogs can also become infected with a variety of diseases, but there are ways to limit exposure to most diseases, lowering your risks substantially.
Keep infected animals away from healthy livestock and this includes separating animals that might be recovering from an illness and are symptom-free. In many cases, the animal can still transmit the disease even if they show no signs of illness. Be sure to consult with a qualified livestock veterinarian at the first sign of illness in any of your animals.
Livestock produce a large amount of waste and if the waste is not dealt with in an aggressive manner, it can lead to excessive pollution and illness among your animals. Reducing the waste, as well as crusting and the odors that accompany the waste is an important part of animal management.
Rather than dump large amounts of chemicals into your waste units, consider a natural and safe product like Activator Plus. This product contains only beneficial bacteria which eat away at waste, reducing the crust and organic substances in your pull plug or deep pit waste units.
Agra Spheres are yet another option that are formulated to decrease the sludge, which will limit crusting. This product also will reduce odors and even the flies. The spheres are completely biodegradable, contain no chemicals and each one will treat as many as 60,000 gallons of sludge or deep pit waste.
Both of these products are veterinarian-approved and safe not only for all livestock, but also for humans, as well. If heavy crusting is in place, it is recommended that you first treat with Activator Plus and then begin using the Agra Spheres after the crust has been liquefied.
