SHADE
AND SHELTER (SS) - WINDBREAKS
Livestock
production can be improved by reducing stock mortality rates. Stock
which are protected by stands of trees for shade and shelter (camps)
will have a lower mortality rate than equivalent stock without shade
and shelter. The effectiveness of well designed windbreaks are shown
by these diagrams and a good farm windbreak and shelter layout is
shown in DIAGRAM 3:
