Paridera

A paridera is a term, primarily used in some Spanish-speaking regions, referring to a specifically designated birthing area or structure for livestock, particularly cattle, sheep, or goats. The term emphasizes a safe and controlled environment where the animal can give birth and the newborn can be protected, especially during harsh weather conditions. The structure can range from a simple enclosed pen to a more elaborate building with specific features designed to assist in the birthing process and newborn care. Key features may include clean bedding, access to water and feed, and shelter from wind, rain, or excessive sun. The paridera aims to minimize birthing complications and reduce mortality rates among newborn animals.
