Q.
8.
,vrite
down
in
sh
ort about
housing
of
sheep
and goat?
(04)
Answer:
Sheep
and
go
ats
do
not
requir
e
elaborate
housing.
Even
an
en
closure
of
thorny
bushes
protects
the
m against predators.
They
only
care
one
ha
s
to
take
is
about
the
ground
which
must
be
muroom.
The
resting
place
must
be
a
higher
level
than
ordinary
ground
level.
Muroom
soak
the
ur
ine
and
keeps
the
place
dry
.
Sheep
are
always
raised
in
flock
.
The
goats
can
be
raised single,
in
few
numbers
of
flocks.
When
single
or
few
goats
are
kept
in
a shelter
near
human
house.
A
shed
with
1.5
m
high
wall
around
and
chain
link
above
it
till
the
roof
would
be
ideal.
The
roof
may
be
thatched
one
or
made
of light
cement
sheets.
The
central height
must
be
3.0
to
3.5
m
while
sides
2.0
to
2.5
m
high.
The
floor
space
require
per adult
sheep
is
1
to
2
sq.
m
and
for
goat
1.5
to
2.0
sq.
m.
Kids
and
lambs
arc
required
to
be
kept
in
separate
shed
which
are
in
close
vicinity
of
the
sheds
females.
Separate
boxes
or
stalls
are
provided
for
each
mate
for
a
void
fighting. A
unit
of
50
females
and
one
male
requires
ap
·
proximately
sh
ed
of
100
squ
a
re
m or
20
m
length
and
5
meter
width.
Loose
housing
is
more
adv
an
tage
ou
s
as
compared
to
conventional/stall-fed
sheds
because
it
is
suitable
for
semi-
arid regions
and
la
rge-sized
flocks.
It
involves
less
expenditur
e,
it
p
rovid
es
more
comfort
to
the
animals.
It
is
less
labour-intensive,
and
it
provides
freedom
of
movem
ent
and
gives
the
benefit
of
exercise. Stilted housing
is
common
in
areas
with
heavy
rainfa.11.
