Description of the measure

Develop natural shading

Comments on sustainability

Create and facilitate access to large areas of natural shade, under trees. If the pastures do not have sufficient shade, it is better to keep the cows in the building during the day. In the long term, reinforce the hedges and trees in the perimeter close to the buildings for the animals.
