These practical on farm session, limited to a maximum of 25 attendees will look at maximising performance by making improvements to ventilation, feed space and cow comfort.
By the end of the workshops, attendees will learn how to:
- Assess their own building to identify the restrictions in ventilation, feed space and cow comfort,
- Maximise productivity from their current building,
- Avoid the pitfalls and impacts of new building designs,
- The cost/benefit of building modification.
