The aims of the infrastructure improvements are:
- To make the sheep enterprise at Hafodarthen more resilient against increases in winter rainfall due to climate change.
- Improve animal welfare standards, flock performance and productivity.
- Make the farm more energy efficient and reduce the farms carbon footprint.
- The construction of two energy and water efficient buildings for sheep housing and indoor lambing. Each building would have a 4kw solar PV system with Lithium battery storage and a rainwater filtration and harvesting system providing drinking water for the housed sheep.
- Mobile handling system with digital weigh scales and EID recording equipment for recording flock performance helping improve productivity and efficiency.
