. A manual of veterinary hygiene. Veterinary hygiene. 904 VETEEINAEY HYGIENE according to Martin,* by the fact that the main deck is practically on a level with the water, while the lower deck is below the surface of the water; the one is heated by the sun in the tropics and gets unbearable, the other is kept moderately cool by immersion. This may be so, but it must also be borne in mind that the deeper one descends in a vessel the less motion is experienced. We are compelled to recognise that the ordinary system of natural ventilation adopted for animal transports at sea is gravely defective; by dint of perpetual care, attention to windsails, bell-mouth ventilators, scuttles, windscoops, and clearing hatchways of every obstruction, we can succeed in keeping matters going, but the system is most defective. âThe fittings for cattle ships are pens eleven.

A is the ship's side ; B, the gangways, on the proper widtli of which the successful management of the horses depends. feet long by nine wide, the cattle in them are tied by the head, overcrowding is prohibited by law, and every animal must have room to feed and lie down. Eor a full account of what the law demands for cattle boats, see the section dealing with Legislation at the end of this chapter. Horses may be carried in pens of three or four, or as in army transports in stalls. Stalls are placed along the sides of the vessel and down the centre ; depending on the width of beam there may be four stalls across the vessel or three. With four stalls in the beam there is a row on either side and two rows in the centre; the horses' heads in all cases facing towards a passage running on the port and starboard side (Fig. 210). â â¢' ' Transport of Horses by Sea,' by Captain E.
