Cattle Shed Arrangement for Disease Prevention
Cattle shed arrangement having lesser danger of spread of disease is:
- Face to face system
- Tail to tail system — Correct Answer
- Both
- None
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Tail to tail system
The tail to tail (face-out) system has lesser danger of spread of disease because animals face away from each other. This reduces direct transmission of respiratory pathogens through exhaled air and nasal discharge.
Comparison of Double Row Systems
- Tail to tail: Lesser disease spread; convenient for cleaning and milking
- Face to face: Convenient for feed distribution; animals face each other (higher disease risk)
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Face to face: Animals breathe into each other's faces, increasing disease transmission risk.
- Both: They differ in disease spread risk — tail to tail is specifically better.
