Description
Experimental stables with opportunities for co-creative research in dairy cattle, poultry, rabbit, and pig farming. These facilities are equipped with an extensive array of sensors and cutting-edge technologies to support advanced agricultural testing, experimenting, and validation. The currently available sensors allow us to collect data related to emissions, stable climate, animal behaviour, and food or water intake. # Pig Farming - HF RFID antennas - Low-ammonia emission systems with sloping pit walls and air scrubbers - Multiple water and feed circuits - Scales and measuring equipment for individual and group weighing of pigs # Dairy Cattle - 74 RIC Feeders for registration of individual feed uptake - 6 rooms to measure gas exchange and 2 Greenfeed devices to study (greenhouse) gas emissions - Mobile Greenfeeds for emissions research at pasture - Devices for measuring ammonia emissions under natural ventilation # Poultry and Rabbits - 120 units for digestion studies - On-site feed mill to manufacture trial feeds (including pelleting)
