Download the Covered Lamb Feedlot Feature to learn about the operational benefits and performance gains this infrastructure achieves.
Covered lamb feedlots can be a smart investment with benefits including:
- Faster weight gain
- Less feed wastage
- Reduced risk (and treatment cost) of summer pneumonia by preventing dusty conditions.
- Labour efficiencies
- Improved animal welfare
This feature project brochure provides an overview of the 2000-head lamb feedlot cover completed in Byaduk VIC.
Includes learnings on how improved animal comfort can impact animal performance and project details such as formed up columns, wide centre access lanes, roof design for effective airflow and stormwater management using a custom gutter system.
If you are considering covering your feedlot or contained feeding area, this project is a textbook example. Download the flyer for ideas and inspiration for your project.
