Collaborative project: Surface structured slatted floor - improving animal welfare and reducing ammonia emissions through optimized design of slatted floors for fattening pigs - subproject 2
Project
Project code: 2813702510
Contract period: 01.10.2010
- 30.09.2013
Budget: 183,394 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
1. Developing a surface-structured slatted floor for maximum animal comfort and minimum ammonia emissions. percentage of slats < 5% 2. Analytical assessment and characterization of these surface-structured slatted floors compared to common slatted floors by a) analysing the animal comfort and animal welfare b) analysing the ammonia-emissions of a barn equipped with such surface-structured slatted floor compared to a barn equipped with common slatted floors. 3. Validation of the derived results in practical surrounding: Assessing the most promising surface-structured slatted floor in a large scale group of fattening pigs to validate the results regarding animal welfare and ammonia emissions reduction 4. Deveolping a sutiable cost efficient mold and molding technique for this surface-structured slatted floor
