Animal Care: What Should Be Considered?

When you hear about animal care, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe feeding and cleaning. In fact, taking care of animals is not only about food and water. Behind this lies a system of rules, details, and technologies that directly affect livestock health, farm productivity, and your income.

Why Is Proper Animal Care Important in Farming?

Animals, like people, are sensitive to environmental conditions, stress, and nutritional quality. Poor management, disregard for sanitary standards, an unbalanced diet, or lack of veterinary supervision leads to reduced productivity, disease outbreaks, and even animal death. On the other hand, consistent and structured care ensures overall livestock health — the key to stable growth and profitability.

Farm equipment also plays a crucial role, making daily routines easier for workers.

What Animal Care Products Are Needed on the Farm?

Proper animal care requires dedicated tools and equipment that ensure livestock comfort, health, and performance.

• Pig toys — such as chains, balls, pendants, and chew items — help reduce stress and prevent aggression and bad habits like tail-biting or chewing fences.
• Heating plates — mounted above piglet areas, they are essential during the first weeks of life due to high sensitivity to cold.
• Rubber mats — used in cow stalls, milking halls, and walkways to reduce joint stress and improve comfort.
• Infrared heating lamps — used to maintain optimal temperatures in poultry houses.
• Drinkers and feeders — necessary for all animals and birds to prevent spillage and contamination.
• Animal brushes — especially for cows and pigs, improve hygiene, reduce itching, and stimulate blood circulation.

These are not just accessories — they are essential components that improve animal welfare and farm conditions.

By the way, you can buy pig toys from VADA.

How to Choose Products for Animal Care?

• Consider the age and size of animals — young livestock need soft bedding, warmth, and small drinkers; adults require more space and durable equipment.
• Choose products made from food-grade plastic, stainless steel, heat-resistant materials, and wear-resistant rubber.
• Prefer items with veterinary or sanitary certification to ensure animal safety.
• Opt for equipment that is easy to clean, install, and use for both animals and workers.
• Adapt your choices to your farm’s size, livestock numbers, housing system, and regional climate.
