240 ft x 64 ft dairy shed incorporating two De Leval robotic milkers with internal feed passage and lean-to’s for robotic feed pusher and robotic scraper charging.
The shed has capacity for 128 cows in cubicles and slatted passages suspended over a 500,000 gallon underground tank and a straw bedded separation pen behind the robots. There are 8 bays of ventilation curtains controlled by a weather station on site. The wet rooms and robot rooms have cast in situ walls with precast concrete hollow core sealings.
Greenhill systems polycarbonate heatgaurd rooflights were used to increase natural light while reducing solar gain with an open-protected roof ridge to aid ventilation in the shed.
BHC would like to wish Andrew and the family and staff all the best with the new shed.
