Pen Cleaning and Manure Management Basics
Pen cleaning and manure management are essential activities in feedlot operations — directly influencing cattle welfare, productivity, workplace safety and environmental performance. Yet it's an area that's easy to under-invest in until something goes wrong.
ALFA's new Pen Cleaning and Manure Management Basics course gives feedlot staff a practical overview of best practice across Australian sites. It covers when and how pens should be cleaned, safe machinery operation, manure handling and storage, and the environmental considerations that come with it.
Getting this right helps maintain comfortable conditions for cattle, supports feed efficiency and weight gain, and reduces environmental and biosecurity risks across the site — a win for animals, staff and the business.
