Depending on whether dairy cattle farming, young cattle rearing, suckler cow husbandry or cattle fattening are the main focus, the requirements for the barn system vary. In any case, today in the new building sector, but also in the conversion of cattle barns, almost only loose housing in the most different designs is planned. On the one hand, these should meet all the requirements of the animals and take into account their natural behaviour, but on the other hand, they should also save the farmer time and work and ultimately be economically viable in the construction or conversion. A basic book for every cattle owner, with many practical examples, informative photos and drawings!
