Goat shed

What is important in a goat shed?

A principle in animal husbandry is to meet the requirements of each animal species in the stable. Some species, such as goats or sheep, are less demanding regarding housing than others.
Nevertheless, there are specific requirements for appropriate and efficient housing.
As a traditional stable builder with over 60 years of experience, we know the needs of each animal species and their owners. Goats, for example, like to move around. Therefore, a goat shed must provide the animals with enough space to move freely.
Ideally, the goat shed is combined with an outdoor run or a pasture.
This is important for the well-being of the goats and positively impacts their milk production. For this reason, open stables are particularly suitable for goat keeping.

Adequate exercise and movement space
Enough feeding places
Clean lying areas
Good stable hygiene
Well-thought-out workflows

Our Expertise: Goat shed projects with milking center

In Germany, goats are primarily kept for milk production. When realizing your goat shed, you benefit from our extensive know-how and long-standing experience in planning, manufacturing, and executing dairy cattle barns of all kinds. We will create your goat shed according to your wishes.

The following has proven effective in practice for goat sheds:

Goat keeping on deep litter sleeping areas as an animal-friendly housing system with low investment costs
Straightforward feeding and manure removal axes as well as well-planned driveways for efficient work, even on a larger scale
Ridge ventilation for an optimal stable climate with plenty of light and air. Learn more about this in our ventilation options

Our stable equipment: Neck pipe or HÖRMANN arched feeding grid specially for goats

Goats are herd animals. Within the herd, there is a clear hierarchy, especially evident during feeding. Sufficient feeding places in the goat shed prevent feed competition, which should be considered in planning. HÖRMANN has developed a special arched feeding grid for goats alongside the simple neck pipe. This arched feeding grid allows even horned animals stress-free access to the feed and ensures a safe interaction between the goat keeper and their animals.
