Advice
None of our livestock units are off the shelf and all have been designed to the customers'specific requirement.
At S&A you are dealing with agriculturally minded individuals whounderstand animal health and welfare as well as the specific challenges you face in handlingand dealing with your stock.
Many of our staff, from all divisions either live on a farm or come from farming families andthis gives us the unique ability to offer advice, experience, and practical knowledge.
We will visit your farm and discuss with you what your plans are and make suggestions.
Subjects we will touch on are:
- Floors and bedding – is the drainage and bedding adequate to keep floors dry throughout the winter?
- Feeding – how do you currently feed stock and is feed wasted due to poor trough or barrier design?
- Grouping – are there sufficient pens to match groups in terms of sex and size?
- Ventilation – is there adequate ventilation?
- Lighting – how will you light the building?
- Natural or artificial light?
- Handling facilities – are they safe and adequate for you and your stock?
- Capacity – is there sufficient capacity to meet your future expectations and not just your current requirement?
