Bedding material in livestock and poultry farming performs a complex function: from ensuring an optimal microclimate and hygiene conditions to the formation of valuable organic raw materials. The correct choice and competent use of bedding directly affect the productivity of livestock, the health status of young animals, and the technological parameters of rearing. Understanding the physicochemical properties of materials used, such as peat, and the principles of deep bedding is a fundamental skill for effective management of the production process in poultry and livestock farming.
This collection brings together materials that reveal both the technical aspects of livestock housing and the subsequent agronomic value of the resulting product. Readers will find information on floor-rearing technological systems, requirements for the microclimate in poultry houses, and methods for using organic waste as highly effective fertilizers. The articles cover the full cycle: from choosing a livestock housing system to the accumulation of organic matter and the impact of such fertilizers on soil fertility, which allows for a comprehensive approach to issues of farm management and increasing crop yield.
