Houses/farms are real close together here. When the air is heavy and still at night (especially foggy) it can get to brewing pretty good. The barns themselves aren't that bad but............
One guy keeps between 10 and 50 and has some kind of PVC pallets (1mx1m) with 3/4 inch or so perforation that he made a second floor out of. Before he put it down, he painted the cement with silo (swimming pool) paint and ran a pvc water line along the wall with holes drilled every foot or so. The urine goes through the holes so it's not sloppy and he picks/replaces bedding as necessary. The floor slopes to a ditch that runs to a tank under the barn. About once a week (more or less as needed) he turns water onto the PVC line and flushes the floor down a little. When the tank under the barn is full, they pump it into a wagon tank and spray it on the fields. This is usually done when I fire up the grill and have people over.
