For example, using UK government Livestock Units (LUs) from the 2003 scheme [1] a particular 10 ha (25-acre) pasture field might be able to support 15 adult cattle or 25 horses or 100 sheep: in that scheme each of these would be regarded as being 15 LUs, or 1.5 LUs per hectare (about 0.6 LUs per acre).
The RSPCA "Welfare standards for laying hens and pullets" indicates that the stocking rate must not exceed 1,000 birds per hectare (10 m 2 per hen) of range available and a minimum area of overhead shade/shelter of 8 m 2 per 1,000 hens must be provided. Free-range farming of egg-laying hens is increasing its share of the market.
the open-air runs must at least satisfy the conditions specified in Article 4(1)(3)(b)(ii) of Directive 1999/74/EC whereby the maximum stocking density is not greater than 2500 hens per hectare of ground available to the hens or one hen per 4 square metres (43 sq ft) at all times and the runs are not extending beyond a radius of 150 metres (490 ...
The Philippines is the 8th largest rice producer in the world, accounting for 2.8% of global rice production. [28] The Philippines was also the world's largest rice importer in 2010. [29] In 2010, nearly 15.7 million metric tons of palay (pre-husked rice) were produced. [30]
When stocking, a tree's basal area is measured. The basal area is a cross-sectional area of the stump taken about 4.5 feet (1.4 m) above the ground. [7] The equation for calculating the basal area of trees in a stand is Basal Area = 0.005454 DBH 2, where DBH is the diameter of the tree at the aforementioned measuring height. [7]
Measuring 34.931m in height, 12.127m in width and 28.172m in length, the giant chicken hotel has been built to withstand the mountainous municipality’s storms and typhoons.
Territorial waters and exclusive economic zone of the Philippines. The Philippines is an archipelagic state whose over 7,000 islands of roughly 300,000 square kilometres (120,000 sq mi) [1] are surrounded by 36,289 kilometres (22,549 mi) of coastline [2]: 15 supporting a large coastal population.
The maximum number of hens per hectare was increased from 1,500 to 10,000. [11] In March 2016, Australian ministers voted in new national standards for the definition of free-range. The new standards allow for up to 10,000 birds per hectare, with no requirement for the hens to actually go outside. [12]
