The Best Solution for Protecting Livestock and Feed
Key Concerns
Livestock Damage: Exposure to rain and snow can cause colds or frostbite, leading to higher veterinary costs.
Feed Deterioration: Hay and feed left in open-air storage can become damp and moldy, resulting in significant waste.
Insufficient Temporary Shelter: Sudden weather changes can leave livestock exposed, compromising their safety.
Solutions
Rain and Moisture Protection: PVC coating and flame-retardant design prevent rainwater penetration, keep feed dry, and reduce the risk of mold.
Temporary Shelter: Quickly erect livestock sheds or covered areas to withstand extreme weather and protect animal health.
Durable Support: With a weight of approximately 20 ounces per square yard, the tarpaulin is suitable for long-term outdoor use, reducing replacement frequency.
