Question:

bedding for cattle and other animals please help?

need to know the proper housing and bedding and when to change the bedding. and if you know all of this for horses, sheep/goat and swinethanks

Answer:

Horses can be bedded on.. Wood Shavings, Straw, paper shreds, peat. Straw is most popluar and cheaper, and like all horse bedding MUST be mucked out every day and skipped out twice a day Mucking out - Removing wet straw and droppings and replacing with fresh straw. 'Do not remove still clean straw'. Skipping out - Just remove droppings Goats, Sheep, Swine and Cows - Straw Bed in large barn, should be cleaned out about once a month but new straw should be topped up once - Twice a week making up a deep litter bed. Remove with tractor and trailer.
just use straw
