Is Your Barn is Eco-Friendly?
Here are a few tips to help out:
- Pick up and store manure in containers/areas away from drainages and open water sources. This prevents contaminated runoff and controls flies.
|
- Use natural/organic toxin-free fly sprays, liniments, herbal de-wormers when possible.
|
- Conserve electricity. Turn lights and fans off when not in use.
|
- Conserve water. Check for water leaks. Use grey water whenever possible.
|
- Please protect soil and water. Be sensitive when turning horses out to prevent erosion and runoff intor streams, drainages, and ponds.
|
- Use and conserve recycled footing and bedding.
|
- Buy local, clean pesticide-free hay.
|
- Look for the NASC seal (National Animal Supplement Council) on your supplements. All members must follow good manufacturing practices.
|
- Please recycle containers, bags, paper, and glass.
|
- Check vehicles for engine leaks to prevent soil contamination.
