Livestock production
Span-Tech buildings have overcome many of the problems associated with producing livestock in open lots or confinement facilities. The jet stream in a Span-Tech building helps minimize respiratory problems while maximizing weight gain for livestock.
Raising Pigs
- Noticeable reduction in lung lesions when compared to buildings with traditional manure pits
- Deep Bedded systems are like letting your hogs sleep on a heat pad
- Better feet and legs, less knee abrasions
- Eating habits are equivalent to confinement facilities without the ammonia smell
- Two groups of sows housed in a hoop building split down the middle can be skip fed thus maximizing labor efficiency while minimizing investment
- Keeps your hogs (and their water) warm, energy-free
Keep your Cattle Happy
Fabric buildings have proven very beneficial for both beef and dairy operations. Keep your cattle happy while reducing the likelihood of diseases such as pneumonia.
Deep-bedded systems are ideal for raising organic animals.
Buildings can ventilate properly for cattle with a ridge vent. Benefits for Cattle:
- Keep your cattle cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter
- Minimize work load
- Eliminate the worry of run-off
- Decrease respiratory problems
- Maintain climate in an energy-free manner
Horses like our buildings
Horses can frighten easily when they are in metal buildings during a storm. Canvas is much quieter. Whether you are using the building as a stable, riding arena, training area or for breeding we have the building to meet your need.
Sheep, Emus and Ostriches
Span-Tech buildings are great for sheep, emus, ostriches, fur-bearing animals, and many other exotic animals.
Span-Tech buildings:
- Provide necessary height for emus and ostriches
- Allow natural light to flow in (when using white canvas), so emus can find food
- Can be adequately ventilated while keeping animals warm
- Provide flexibility to design floor layout the way you see fit
