This project involves the installation of a new 32,000 poultry layer unit, associated processing and handling equipment and shed to house and treat the manure. Investments include the erection of the new unit, as well as all the internal fittings, in addition to the groundworks, and electrical installations costs. Solar panels will be fitted to the shed which will contribute towards energy efficiency, while rainwater harvesting equipment will also be installed to collect the roof water.
The business partners have spent the last 24 months researching this project carefully and have chosen specialist contractors who will install state of the art equipment which will ensure the highest welfare standards are met, while keeping sustainability at the core of the project. The business has engaged with key partners during the process, and bespoke modelling work has been undertaken on various aspects of the planning process.
