[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 710105, member: 539"] If I'm understanding your post right, you're thinking you can prevent respiratory illness by confining your animals to the barn? Is that right? If so, the fastest route to respiratory illness is to confine animals to a barn. God did not intend animals to be confined to a barn. He intended them to be outside with fresh air and sunshine, both of which are vital for their health! Fresh air eliminates the ammonia produced by their urine, and sunshine kills bacteria. If you want your animals to be healthy, get them out of that barn, and into the pasture! Shelter is good but, if it is shed type shelter, it needs to be regularly cleaned and free of ammonia.
