Disadvantages Of A Paddock Room

By Carol Evans


There are many people who choose their careers to be a farmer. They practice modern farming because it usually gives them good amount of income. A paddock room is usually made to hold either one animal or many animals together. This depends with what the farmer prefers to be the best for him or her. They must ensure that they have cut down the costs which they are going to incur.

Despite having so many advantages of this method, there are also some challenges which are also faced some of the challenges may include that a farmer may incur a lot of costs when he or she is starting to build it initially. This is because he must buy construction materials that are of very high quality. This will ensure that the enclosure lasts for a very long period of time.

This will therefore prevent the nutrients that are found in the soil from being carried away. The nutrients are very important because the livestock are the ones that allow a plant to grow healthy. The plants feed on the nutrients and they grow healthy. They produce high quality yields that make the farmer get satisfied by his work.

There should be shelters in that place. This is because the animals also need a place they can rest and also use it to as a shade. This will improve the level of production because they will not be tired and they will not also feel some cold. These are some of the aspects which make the production levels to go down.

The other disadvantage that is faced is that if there is an outbreak of a disease, there is the likelihood of these animals to contract. This is because they are confined in one place and hence they eat the same foods and breathe the same air. This is very dangerous because if the disease is a killer disease, it might kill all the livestock. This will leave the farmer experiencing a huge loss in his farm.

This method also allows different animals from different species to be separated. This is because not all of them feed the same way. There are those that eat a lot and there are others that just eat a small portion of food and they get satisfied. When they are separated like that, it is a way of assisting all of them to grow healthy and add their value.

One can easily note the health of the livestock and their status. It is very easy to observe and identify the animals which are not feeling well. When one identifies this, he or she will call a veterinary to come and treat them. They cannot give quality products and yields when they are not in their normal condition.

The enclosures must also be kept clean always. This is because it will provide space for other plants to grow. When they feed on fresh grass, there is the likelihood of them improving on their productivity. They ensure that the farmer gets some profits back.
