Livestock Panorama

In the 1980s, the Government called for environmental improvements to be made in rural areas. Livestock production thus changed accordingly. For instance, large and clean cow barns were built near pastures to make it more convenient for the livestock to utilise the forage sources. Pigs lived in cleaner stalls, separated from their manure and bathed with fresh water. Notably, the environmental concern around waste management was also addressed thanks to the traditional yet creative way of treating manure by our farmers: turning it into an organic source of fertiliser.
