Developing a working prototype for sustainable high welfare intensive pig houses integrated with renewable energy generation to inform innovative commercial products and services

我们将与包括米德兰养猪厂、RAFT解决方案有限公司、4C工程公司、奥雅纳合作伙伴有限公司以及纽卡斯尔和克兰菲尔德大学在内的合作伙伴合作，开发一种可持续高福利集约化猪舍的工作原型，并将其与可再生能源发电相结合。该项目将开发新技术，并开发来自美国和人类废物和通风管理的现有信息，为牲畜舍引入创新的土木，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，我们的目标是为集约化猪舍开发商业产品/服务，包括首次将可操作的材料输送到板条地板系统，以最大限度地提高健康和福利，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，将废热再利用于相关业务，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，气体排放并降低养猪产生的气味。因此，可以在世界各地建造密集、高效、高福利的养猪场。

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.
