Modern animal husbandry is first and foremost a new look at the conditions in which animals are housed. As public awareness increases, farmers are beginning to pay more attention to animal welfare and sustainability in this area.
Studies show that animals that have access to more space are less stressed and more active, improving their overall physical and mental condition. Therefore, farmers who want to develop their livestock farming pay special attention to the needs of animals when planning an investment. In modern barns, you can find rubber mats and even beds in the form of water mattresses. An important intervention from the point of view of animal welfare is grazing, i.e. letting animals out into the fresh air and providing them with the opportunity to be in as natural an environment as possible.
Young farmers also know the importance of a balanced and healthy diet for their animals. More attention is being paid to what quality feed the animals are fed and the form in which it is fed. Studies indicate that an ill-balanced ration, not only can reduce the productivity of animals, but also contribute to the deterioration of their health.
The use of modern technology in the continuous monitoring of the safety of zoonotic food production also contributes to the improvement of breeding standards.
