While animals need shelter from the wmd, rain, and snow, they .also need freedom to move, a dry bed, and plenty of fresh air. Often closed housing is primarily for the benefit of human caretakers rather than the livestock. The wmd chill index is a measure of human rather than animal discomfort, Kadwill ex plains. In a closed structure, ventilation is sometimes inadequate, resulting in damp humid conditions. Odors also build up, creating an unhealthy environment KNNtVUMNIA AOMCUUUM WK*RC GGOWING BCTTCR During the winter, snow blow-m can be a problem with small, open sheds, but £ront adjustable may be the answer. Even in severe winter weather, livestock should not be cooped up for long periods of tune. Exercise and fresh air are extremely, important for good animal health. When moisture collects on the wails, floors, and win dows of closed buildings, ventilation is inadequate. The animals or birds m the building are sure to be suffering respiratory stress resulting in pneumonia and possibly death of the animal, cautions Kadwill.
