Saint Lucia as an island in the Southeast Caribbean basin and lies within the hurricane belt. As such, the agriculture sector, among others, is highly affected by the impact of wind storms and hurricanes. In addition, the sector also faces water shortages during the dry season (variable, but typically from January to April/May), a lack of improved forage species for maximizing production, and an unavailability of improved housing for livestock. The construction of a hurricane-resistant small ruminant housing unit incorporates rainwater harvesting and bio-security features, such as the construction of a foot bath, a slatted wooden floor, and a concrete base beneath the pen to facilitate efficient manure handling and disposal. As a result, this technology ensures that small ruminant housing meets adequate construction and safety standards to reduce damage by hurricanes and wind storms and reduce the risk of infection and diseases among animals. Small ruminants are an important livelihood asset for farmers.
