60 Sheep, pigs and goats — arrangements of pens, walkways and passageways

(1) There must be a passageway on at least 1 side of each pen.

Note A passageway on the longest pen boundary provides better access for animals to feed.

(2) If a lower tiered pen has a water or food receptacle beside a passageway, the upper tiered pen above it must have fitted to the side adjoining the passageway, to prevent the fouling of food and water of livestock in lower tiers, a vertical plate or board that:

(a) is at least 225 mm high; and

(b) abuts the floor of the pen.

(3) If pens are constructed in more than 1 tier on a deck, walkways must be provided so that no pen floor is more than 1.5m above the deck or a walkway.
