Working with a collaborative partnership including Midland Pig Producers, RAFT Solutions Ltd, 4C Engineering, Ove Arup & Partners Ltd, and the universities of Newcastle and Cranfield, we will develop a working prototype for sustainable high welfare intensive pig houses integrated with renewable energy generation. The project will develop new techniques and develop existing information from the USA and from human waste and ventilation management to introduce innovative civil, chemical and mechanical engineering solutions to livestock housing. By the end of this 36 month project, we aim to develop commercial products / services for intensive pig housing to include the delivery of manipulable materials to slatted floor systems for the first time to maximize health and welfare and improve feed conversion rates. We aim to develop the innovative use of circular energy management systems to re-use waste heat for associated businesses e.g. herb or salad growing, or for other commercial or residential applications, whilst minimizing carbon usage, gas emissions and lowering odours produced by pig production. Thus intensive, efficient yet high welfare pig units can be built across the world.

我们将与米德兰养猪生产商、RAFT解决方案有限公司、4C工程公司、Ove Arup & Partners有限公司以及纽卡斯尔大学和克兰菲尔德大学合作，开发一个可持续的高福利集约型猪舍的工作原型，并将其与可再生能源发电相结合。该项目将开发新技术，并从美国和人类排泄物和通风管理中获取现有信息，为牲畜住房引入创新的土木、化学和机械工程解决方案。在这个为期36个月的项目结束时，我们的目标是开发集约猪舍的商业产品/服务，包括首次向板条地板系统提供可操作材料，以最大限度地提高猪的健康和福利，并提高饲料转化率。我们的目标是开发循环能源管理系统的创新用途，将废热重新用于相关业务，例如草药或沙拉种植，或其他商业或住宅应用，同时最大限度地减少碳使用，气体排放并降低生猪生产产生的气味。因此，可以在世界各地建立集约化、高效率和高福利的养猪场。
