Answer 1

Answer:

The manure pit is generally dug out on a dry and fairly elevated land about 100 meters away from the animal houses.

The manure pit is dug 100 meters away from the animal sheds as the biological wastes like urine, faeces, leftover feeds, nasal discharges and uncleaned water can lead to the growth of bacteria and parasites which can cause diseases to the animals.

Hygiene of the animals and their environment is one of the main measures to control animal diseases. The animals should be cleaned with water to remove dirt and parasites. Proper drainage and supply of clean water to drink and fresh food to feed is also important to control animal diseases.
