In loose housing
system animals are not tied and there is no provision of stalls.
Here animals are free to move in an open area. In this system there
is a sloped roof with feeding table in the centre serving two sides
at a time. On both sides there is a concrete feed alley of about 2
meters. There is a water
trough for 24 hours availability of water. Each animal should have
50-75 feet2 shaded area and 90-120 feet2
open area.
This type of
housing is not recommended because management of animals is
difficult.
