At the start of November, it's essential to begin repairing sheds to ensure the safety of your sheep and prevent them from falling out. A well-constructed shed is crucial for their comfort and health during the colder months.
The ideal location for a sheep shed is on a slope that allows for natural drainage and proper air circulation. Plastic greenhouses are an excellent choice as they provide a controlled environment. When the weather is nice at noon, open the greenhouse structure to improve air flow and reduce humidity. Regular cleaning of urine and waste is important to maintain hygiene and avoid disease spread. If using a fixed plastic greenhouse, make sure there are sufficient ventilation openings and clean the area every 3 to 6 days to prevent respiratory and joint issues in the flock.
When setting up plastic greenhouses for sheep, consider the following key points:
First, insulation is vital. Choose a shelter that is protected from the wind, receives ample sunlight, and is located on flat, dry ground. Use high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene film for better thermal retention. Double-layer covering can create an insulating air gap between layers, reducing heat loss. Seal all gaps and install curtains on the entrance. Maintaining an appropriate stocking density helps maximize the body heat generated by the sheep, which can significantly raise the internal temperature of the shed.
Second, managing moisture is critical. Since plastic greenhouses are tightly sealed, moisture from sheep waste and drinking water can accumulate, leading to high humidity levels that may promote disease. During warm afternoons, ventilate the area, remove leftover feed, wastewater, and manure regularly. Laying down straw or ash can help absorb excess moisture and keep the floor dry.
Third, proper ventilation is necessary. The air inside the shed should be fresh, with no strong odors or irritation to the eyes and nose. Complete ventilation is recommended when the sheep are outside or not in the shed.
Fourth, protect the structure from wind and snow. The greenhouse should be built to withstand harsh weather conditions. To prevent heavy snow from collapsing the roof, ensure the shed has a slope of about 50 to 60 degrees. Snow should be removed promptly to avoid damage and maintain structural integrity.
By focusing on these four key areas—insulation, moisture control, ventilation, and weather resistance—you can create a safe and healthy environment for your sheep throughout the winter season.
Preservative Agent
Preservatives refer to natural or synthetic chemical ingredients. When used in cosmetic formulations, it can effectively inhibit microbial growth or corruption caused by chemical changes to ensure the safety and stability of the product during its shelf life.
There are roughly three types of anti-corrosion principles for preservatives:
1. Interfering with the enzyme system of microorganisms, destroying their normal metabolism, and inhibiting enzyme activity.
2. Causing solidification and denaturation of microbial proteins, interfering with their survival and reproduction.
3. Changing the permeability of the cell plasma membrane, inhibiting the elimination of enzymes and metabolites in the body, leading to its inactivation.
