Livestock farming

Located in Torrelameu, Spain, this farm is equipped with a wide range of precision feeding machines, environmental sensors, and camera systems to monitor and optimise various aspects of pig farming. These tools enable comprehensive data collection on temperature, humidity, CO₂, and ammonia levels, which are integrated into a proof of concept for the pig sector data space. The facility fosters collaboration among public and private entities, promoting advancements in intensive livestock management, animal welfare, and transport.

This facility is composed of an experimental milking machine, a modular milking parlour, and a milking robot.

55-hectare plot of grassland with a 7-year rotation: 5 years of grassland, 2 years of crops. This plot can be harvested or grazed by the cows. Various trials are performed on the plot: multi-species meadows test, maintenance tests (overseeding, aeration, amendment), growth measurement with an herbometer, phosphorus runoff and nitrate loss tests, ...

This facility is composed of 2 pens: one 1000 m² housing for milking cows with 85 places at the trough and one 800 m² housing for heifers with 70 places at the trough. The cows are housed in a stall with cubicles on straw and an automatic scraper.

Mainly grouped around the building, this facility is composed of 42% of permanent meadow and 58% of temporary meadow. Most of it is grazed by the animals, and a progressive automation of the water troughs is ongoing.

This facility is a 650 m² holding pen that is used for several interventions on the animals, such as shearing, weighing, and health interventions. Animals enter from one side and are parked in a waiting area. Then they can be sorted and directed in different ways to the devices needed for the planned intervention.

This facility is meant for finishing lambs housing. The building has a central area meant for feeding the animals, and on each side there are modular pens. Animals are housed on accumulated straw litter.
