DAERA5646078B - Ruminant Emissions Research Facility

Description

The works include construction of a specialist agricultural scientific research facility to measure performance of ruminant livestock and all gaseous emissions produced directly by the livestock, and indirectly from the manure that they produce (e.g. methane, ammonia and nitrous oxide). The facility will include two separate cubicle houses for cattle to allow comparison between various conditions. The building will also house a milking parlour with associated plant space, storage areas, loose pens, a small laboratory space for emissions analysers, staff areas and ancillary accommodation. Below and above ground tanks are required to manage slurry and dirty water. Connections to existing infrastructure within the existing site are also required. The new building will be accessed via the current site-wide access arrangements. In order to apply for this project you must be registered on the CPD Dynamic Shortlisting system – BUILDING.
