Greetings!


I do not have a goat farm just to give an idea, goat house (farm) usually is elevated about 1.5 meter from the ground and the floor is kawayan. There is an inclined plane which served as the stairs of the animal. Roof height would be 2.5 to 3 meters

Some housing is just a box type with dirt flooring and a papag in the middle.

Hi,the problem with the 1-1.5 meter high floor is that it tends to be hard to get under to clean the ground well,our caretakers like the 7foot high floors better,easier to clean.Coconut wood and bamboo builds a nice house with a palm leaf roof.The one thing we have found so far is there are no termites around,they seem to hate the goats pee,keeps the termites away.

Pee and termites...a possible termite control remedy..!!??

If you have a long housing then a 7 feet high housing would be great. and at the same time if you don't want to continue your goat farm you could easily convert it to a poultry house, dual purpose.

Doc,great idea,dual purpose,yes you will never have a termite problem if one has goats,and a all nature problem solver.
