Animal Confinement Sample Clauses

Animal Confinement. How dairy cows are confined depends on the size of the operation, age of the animal, and the operator preference. Dairies predominantly use some type of multiple animal area for unweaned calves, weaned calves, and heifers. Mature cows, when not being milked, are confined in freestall barns, drylots, tie stalls/stanchions, pastures, or combinations of these. Dry cows are confined in loose housing or freestalls. Lactating cows require milking at least twice per day and are either milked in their tie stalls or are led into a separate milking center. Milking centers (also called parlors) are separate buildings, apart from the lactating cow confinement. Approximately 60 percent of dairy operations reported that they milk the cows from their tie stalls, while 40 percent reported that they used a milking center. However, 78 percent of the lactating cow population is milked in a milking center. Therefore, it can be interpreted that many of the large dairies are using milking centers, while the smaller dairies are typically using tie stalls.

Animal Confinement. Although there are still many operations where pigs are raised outdoors, the trend in the swine industry is toward larger operations where pigs are raised in totally or partially enclosed confinement facilities. Typically, the gestation and farrowing, nursery, and grow-finish phases of the production cycle occur in separate, specially designed facilities. Farrowing operations require intense management to reduce piglet mortality. Houses will have farrowing pens, and the piglets are provided a protected area of about 8 square feet. Nursery systems are typically designed to provide a clean, warm, dry, and draft-free environment in which animal stress is minimized to promote rapid growth and reduce injury and mortality. Nursery buildings are cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between groups of pigs to prevent transmission of diseases from one herd to another. Finishing pigs require less intensive management and can tolerate greater variations in environmental conditions without incurring health problems.
Animal Confinement. There shall be no commercial confinement facilities for livestock, swine or poultry on the Protected Property.
