Dairy Herd Housing

This project involves the construction of a new milking parlour, cow housing and handling area under one roof. 
Investment elements will be:

1. A 20:40 rapid exit parlour
2. Construction of a 41mx19m building to provide the area for the milking parlour, handling facilities, collecting yard and office
3. New AI facilities
4. Feed bin
5. Concrete work to link existing facilities to the new build
6. Link new build to existing slurry and dirty water system

Overall aim is to achieve a more sustainable and robust system for the future. This will come from a combination of reduced overhead costs, improved cow performance and better use of resources.
