What Are the Applications of Square Metal Mesh in Animal Husbandry?

Jan . 13, 2025 15:16

In livestock farms, square meshes can be used as animal fences. For example, in sheep farms, cattle farms, etc., metal nets are used to enclose the breeding areas to prevent livestock from getting lost. The height and strength of the metal mesh can be adjusted according to the species and habits of animals. For larger animals (such as goats) who are good at jumping, you can use a metal mesh with a higher height (about 1.5-2 meters) and a larger wire diameter.

 

 

Square Metal Mesh Can Be Used as Animal Fence  

 

In cattle and sheep farms, square meshes are used to divide different pasture areas. For example, separate grazing areas from rest areas so that cattle and sheep can move in suitable areas at different time periods. This can effectively manage the living space of livestock and make it convenient for breeders to feed and clean.

 

For large-scale farms, square meshes can also be used to divide animal breeding areas of different varieties or different age stages. For example, separating fattening cows from breeding cows, or separating lambs from adult sheep, will help to provide accurate feeding management according to the needs of different animal groups, and at the same time avoid conflicts between animals for food and territory.

 

Square mesh fence is an effective means to prevent livestock from getting lost. Its height and strength can be adjusted according to the species and habits of animals. For example, for pigs with small size and weak jumping ability, the height of the fence may be about 1-1.2 meters; For goats or deer who are good at jumping, the height of the fence usually needs to reach 1.5-2 meters. The firmness of the metal net can withstand the impact and extrusion of animals, ensuring that animals live safely in the fence.

 

Square Metal Mesh Can Be Used for Animal House Protection  

 

Installing square meshes in the windows and vents of animal houses can ensure air circulation and prevent animals from escaping and foreign animals (such as mice and wild birds) from entering. For example, installing a fine square mesh in the ventilation opening of the henhouse can not only let fresh air into the henhouse, improve the air quality of the henhouse, but also prevent rats from entering the henhouse to steal feed and spread diseases, and also prevent chickens from flying out of the henhouse.

 

For some aggressive animals (such as bulls), installing square meshes in the internal passages or fences of animal houses can protect the safety of breeders. When the breeder enters the animal house for inspection, treatment and other operations, the metal net can be used as a barrier to prevent animals from directly contacting and hurting the breeder.

 

In animal pens, square meshes can be used to isolate sick animals. When animals are sick in the farm, the metal net is used to isolate the sick animals in a separate area, which is not only convenient for individual treatment and care of the sick animals, but also can prevent the disease from spreading among healthy animals. For example, in a pigsty, once pigs are found to be infected with infectious diseases, a square mesh is used to enclose an isolation zone to separate sick pigs from healthy pigs, which can effectively control the spread of the epidemic disease.

 

Square Metal Mesh Can Be Used for Feed Storage and Feeding Facilities

  

Square metal mesh can be used to make protective fence or net cover of feed warehouse. Setting a metal net fence around the feed warehouse can prevent livestock from entering the warehouse at will and ensure the safe storage of feed. For some scattered hay piles or silage piles, covering them with metal nets can prevent animals from eating feed without permission, resulting in feed waste or unbalanced nutrition.

 

Making protective net for feed trough. Installing a square mesh above the feeding trough can prevent animals from putting their heads or hooves into the feeding trough too deep when eating, resulting in injuries. At the same time, for some feeds that need to be fed quantitatively, the metal mesh can control the feeding speed of animals and prevent the feed from being eaten up quickly or wasted. For example, in a rabbit farm, a metal net is installed on the feed trough of the rabbit cage, and rabbits can only feed through the mesh, which helps to feed the feed reasonably and improve the utilization rate of the feed.
