- A stud farm or stud in animal husbandry,
is an establishment for selective breeding of livestock. The word "stud"
comes from the Old English stod meaning "herd of horses, place where
horses are kept for breeding".
- The Carthusian monks are famous for their
role in breeding the Andalusian horse in Spain, while monasteries in
Bavaria were responsible for the original Rottaler horse.
- North Carolina is a national leader in
recreational horse production and ownership. Over 250,000 horses are
housed on nearly 65,000 farms. These farms vary greatly in size from
farms with one horse to facilities which board over 75 horses generally
located near suburban areas on smaller acreage.
- Only the largest of these farms have state
approved waste management plans to protect surface and ground waters.
The remaining farms have few resources to address proper waste and
pasture management. Many of these farms are over stocked, housing
several animals in undersized paddocks. These paddocks become denuded of
vegetation and are sources of sediment, nutrients and bacteria for
receiving waters.
- The Farm and Ranch of Billy Parton was
used as a demonstration facility. This Farm is near Morganton, NC, in
the Mountain / Foothills Region of North Carolina. This horse farm had
been utilizing many BMPs including rotational grazing, pasture
establishment, heavy use areas, alternative watering, stream crossings,
stream fencing, and riparian buffers.
- The grant money assisted in training the
owners to use BMPs on their farm for horse manure composting, purchased
additional poly-tape electrical fencing to encourage rotational
grazing.
