Barn building plan for dairy cows

V Sloveniji je veliko govedorejskih kmetij, kjer so hlevi zastareli in živalim ne nudijo zadostnega udobja in možnosti izražanja naravnega obnašanja. S podobnim problemom se srečujemo tudi na kmetiji Strel, saj je hlev majhen in nefunkcionalen, zato razmišljamo o gradnji sodobnega hleva, ki bo živalim in okolju prijazen. V prvem delu naloge smo naredili pregled literature glede pohodne in ležalne površine. Poleg tega smo predstavili tudi različne tipe molzišč ter predstavili nekatere rešitve avtomatizacije, ki je na voljo na trgu. V drugem delu smo zasnovali idejni načrt sodobnega hleva na kmetiji Strel na prosto rejo za 30 krav molznic in 20 mladih živali. V delu hleva za krave molznice bodo visoki ležalni boksi pokriti z gumo, na blatnih hodnikih pa bodo rešetke. Pod rešetkami bo skladišče za gnojevko s slalom sistemom. Molža bo potekala v molzišču tipa »ribja kost« velikosti 2x3. Živali bomo krmili s pomočjo mešalne prikolice. V idejni načrt smo vključili tudi porodnišnico in bolnišnico. Uredili bomo del hleva za mlado živino, kjer bo ločen prostor z igluji in skupinski boks za teleta ter boksi za plemenske telice. Prostor za telice bo urejen tako, da bomo imeli kombinacijo ležalnih boksov z nastiljem in odstranjevanje živalskih izločkov s pehali. Zaradi težnje po zmanjšanju fizičnega dela bomo v novem hlevu nekatere delovne procese avtomatizirali.In Slovenia there are many cattle farms whose stables are outdated and do not provide enough comfort and opportunity for the animals to live out their natural behaviour. On the Strel farm we face a similar problem, because the barn is small and not functional, so we want to build a modern, animal and environmentally friendly barn. In the first part of the paper we have presented the literature review about walking and lying areas. We have also presented different types of milking parlours and some of the automation solutions available on the market. In the second part, we have prepared a conceptual plan for a modern free stall barn on Strel farm for 30 dairy cows and 20 young animals. In the part of the barn intended for dairy cows, the cubicles will be covered with rubber flooring, and the cows\u27 walkways will be equipped with a slatted floor. Under the slatted floor there is a slurry storage with a slalom system. Milking is done in a 2x3 herringbone milking parlour. A mixer waggon is used for feeding the animals. A calving pen and a separate stall for sick animals are also included in the concept. Part of the barn will be set up for young animals, with a separate area with individual calf pens and group pens for older calves, heifers and for breeding heifers. Space for heifers will be organised in a combination of cubicles and deep straw. The removal of animal excrement by manure scrapers is made possible. Due to the tendency to reduce physical labour, some work processes will be automated in the new barn
