Description

This Task Force aims to structure an autonomous, non-polluting system with zero energy costs that eliminates the presence of life in the water in real time and in a non-invasive manner.

On the other hand, by taking advantage of the residual energy from the fermentation of the slurry, combined with solar thermal energy, there will be an instant supply of water at the ideal temperature for the consumption of the animals, regardless of the time of year. Water intake in dairy cattle has two aspects that reduce their productivity: the healthiness of the water and its temperature.
