A livestock greenhouse is a modern, cost-effective housing solution for cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and other farm animals.
Unlike traditional brick or steel barns, livestock greenhouses use a galvanized steel frame, film or PC panel covering, and automated climate-control systems to create a stable and healthy environment for year-round farming.
With fast construction, lower investment, and flexible expansion, livestock greenhouses are becoming a mainstream choice for modern agriculture and large-scale farming businesses.
Livestock greenhouses can be customized for:
Beef cattle and dairy cows
Meat sheep and dairy goats
Pig farming
Chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry
Special livestock (alpacas, deer, rabbits, etc.)
The structure, height, and ventilation system can be tailored to match the needs of each animal species.
Hot-dip galvanized steel ensures strong load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance, with a lifespan of 15–20+ years.
The structure can be engineered according to local wind and snow loads.
PO/PE film – economical and suitable for poultry or sheep.
PC panels – excellent insulation and durability.
Double-layer inflated film system – ideal for cold regions, offering enhanced insulation.
Exhaust fans + cooling pads
Automatic side/roof ventilation
Heating systems (hot-air furnace, ground heating)
Automatic spraying & disinfection
Smart monitoring systems
These systems create a controlled environment that improves animal health, reduces disease, and increases overall production efficiency.
A livestock greenhouse costs only 40–60% of a traditional livestock barn, and can be installed quickly, reducing project investment.
Stable temperature, humidity, ventilation, and natural light improve growth rate and reduce mortality.
Automated ventilation, cooling, heating, and cleaning systems significantly lower labor demand.
The modular steel structure allows for easy expansion and relocation, making it ideal for growing farms.
Semi-closed environments reduce contamination and enable centralized manure treatment.
| Structure Type | Estimated Cost | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Single-layer film greenhouse | USD 12–20/m² | Poultry, sheep, cattle |
| Double-layer inflated film | USD 18–28/m² | Cold-climate cattle/sheep housing |
| PC panel greenhouse | USD 25–40/m² | Large-scale farms |
| Large-span arch greenhouse | USD 22–38/m² | Cattle & sheep barns |
Final pricing depends on span, height, local climate conditions, and selected equipment.
Choose the right span and height based on animal type
Example: cattle require greater height, poultry require optimal ventilation.
Select an insulation system suited for your climate
Cold regions benefit from double-layer film or PC panels + heating system.
Decide on the level of automation
Higher automation reduces long-term labor costs.
Work with a professional manufacturer
Ensure the design meets engineering standards and uses high-quality galvanized steel.
