English: This cowshed, one of many similar ones in Kfar Yehoshua, Israel, is covered with asbestos. Asbestos is now forbidden for use in the western world, due to its link to several forms of cancer in addition to lung cancer. See for example Bunderson-Schelvan, Melisa et al.: "Nonpulmonary Outcomes of Asbestos Exposure", Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Vol. 14 (2011) Part B, pp. 122–152. Like other cowsheds in the place, this one has a concrete container built under it for the cows' excrements, which is covered with concrete beams. This method is also not used in modern countries anymore, as the beams cause injuries to the animals. The container under this cowshed seem to be broken and a puddle of excrement was created around the water pipes and under the trough containing the cows' drinking water.
