This document discusses housing and equipment needs for animal herds and flocks. Shelters provide comfort and promote health, protecting animals from environmental factors. This increases profits through higher production of eggs, milk and meat, and lower disease risks. Building shelters requires time, effort and money. For poultry housing, a well-drained sloped location with trees is ideal, providing shade and wind protection near a water source and market. Basic equipment like perches, dropping boards, nests and waterers are also important to support the birds' needs and support productive farming.
