Planning, construction, operation, and evaluation of an innovative, ergonomic, environment-friendly, and high-welfare dairy barn
As part of a larger investment project the operational group aims at planning, constructing, operating, and evaluating an innovative, ergonomic, environment-friendly, and high-welfare dairy barn. EIP-support was granted for the following sub-projects: 1) Testing new work procedures to improve health and satisfaction of the workforce, 2) Adapting existing manure removal systems to reduce ammonium evaporation, 3) Installing a rainwater storage and processing system to reduce the farm´s water consumption, 4) Installing a reliable, power-saving, and economic lighting system that combines natural and artificial lights. The system shall benefit both staff and livestock. 5) Creating an area for special procedures, which will be used to house sick cows or to trimm hooves and to store equipment and medicine of the vet. 6) Combining a stationary mixing of feed recipes and a mobile, automatic distribution using an adapted electric system from industrial production.
The individual objectives formulated in the project planning were fully achieved. At the same time, the creation of new hazards for the safety and health of employees and the emergence of new hazards for the safety and health of animals were avoided.
The pilot project demonstrates that animal welfare, employee health, attractiveness, sustainability and profitability are compatible target variables in agricultural production. Synergy effects through the holistic and interdisciplinary handling of the project task led to additional benefits for the company.
