Maternity Pen (Dairy Cattle)

Housing provided for cows that are 2 months away from parturition, provided at a rate of one pen for every 20 to 25 cows.

Milking Parlor Separation Distances

Located at least $30\,m$ (up to $180\,m$ for 3x/day milking, $275\,m$ for 2x/day milking) from the lactating barn, and at least $100\,m$ from manure piles or wastewater ponds.

Class A Slaughterhouse
