1 - 16 of 16
160 - Plant shade trees around and within bullock and pig pastures/enclosures
161 - Keep forested/shade/reserve areas within the farm, so that during drought times, animals can be moved into these cooler naturally moist areas
162 - Bullock may be grazed in the open, but for resting should be brought into forests
163 - Build special enclosures for pigs to have an appropriate balance of exposure and shelter
164 - Select shady sites for pig enclosures
165 - Provide shade over the chicken fence, either with normal housing roof material or trees.
236 - Use less fire prone grasses including Buffalo Grass
237 - Use steel or iron for fence posts
238 - Use living Fence posts which do not rapidly light
239 - Encourage some overgrazing during the dry season to prevent buildup of biomass and fuel
240 - Ensure that there is an appropriate number of stock in the pasture to remove potential fire fuel
452 - Ventilate chicken enclosures (e.g. with bamboo floors)
453 - Provide Mulching or leaves inside chicken enclosures for temp cooling
454 - Ensure there is dust available that chickens can kick up for temp regulation
455 - Keep an area of small bush inside enclosures under which they can hide
456 - Cover fences, to provide shade and respite from sun
