Operational Group: Optimization of hydration in dairy cattle

  • Type Operational group
  • Execution 2017
  • Assigned Budget 49.495,00 €
  • Scope Autonómico
  • Autonomous community Galicia
  • Main source of financing PEPAC 2014-2020
Description

This Task Force aims to develop an autonomous, zero-energy, non-polluting system that eliminates life in the water in real time and noninvasively.

On the other hand, harnessing the residual energy from slurry fermentation, combined with solar thermal energy, will provide an instant water supply at the ideal temperature for animal consumption, regardless of the time of year.

Water intake in dairy cattle has two factors that reduce productivity: water health and water temperature.
