adjustment of fogging spray systems, if used, so
that droplets do not fall onto litter.
Nipple drinkers or drip cups (or alternative on-demand
systems) are preferred over water troughs or bell
drinkers, to avoid wetting litter.
A litter moisture content of 20-25% is considered optimal,
avoiding dust (too dry) and odour (too damp), and
promoting aerobic bacterial action. If litter is caking or
sticky, it is too wet.

landscape characterised by undulating and rolling rural land that descends to the
coast as the river winds its way through productive farmland and the residential / urban outskirts of New
