MODULE 3. ANIMAL HOUSING AND MANURE MANAGEMENT
DESCRIPTION OF ANIMAL HOUSING AND MANURE MANAGEMENT VARIABLES
Topic: animal housing
Places in animal housing for cattle, pigs and poultry. The term
βplacesβ
refers to the usual number of animals present in the animal houses duringΒ the reference year. This means that the number of animals must be corrected on the reference day if conditions are not normal (over-housing, under-housing, sanitary emptying, special production schemes, etc.). Only animal housing in use during the reference period is to be recorded. The number of temporarily empty places in the animal houses during the reference period is also recorded .
Animals are defined in Core Section III. VARIABLES OF LIVESTOCK
