It is a disease of the lungs due to an 'allergy' to moulds/dust in hay/silage etc. Causes coughing and progressive shortness of breath. Most of us won't be affected, but there's no knowing who may be sensitive, so best to avoid contact with mouldy stuff by wearing a mask during handling.What is Farmer's Lung, please?
So if you found some mold in the wet lower layers of bedding, would you leave it alone? How do you know if it's a potential hazard?
Its always a good idea to properly fix the bedding... there is nothing as too warm for the animals, the cold weather is the issue. hope they are doing fine... have a great day.Congratulations on the new animals! I don’t have sheep, but I love my goats to pieces!! And I’m glad you were able to clean out their bedding pretty easily.
Oh my.. I haven't heard of that is that like a sickness that you can acquire because your constantly in a farm? Ok.. now I'm scared. 😱😱😱What?? What is Farmer's Lung, please?
