Ideally, manure should be removed from stalls daily. If allowed to <br /> accumulate in stalls, it can attract flies, harbor parasites and pathogens, <br /> increase the risk of thrush and other hoof-related problems, and generate <br /> offensive odors. Exercise paddocks may need weekly cleaning. <br /> http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/components/7540 02.htm1 1/17/2013 <br />
