Poultry Farm Site Layout  more info [pdf]

A good poultry farm layout will optimise function, have acceptable capital cost, have appropriate maintenance costs and protect the environment.  FSA Consulting can produce poultry farm layout plans that achieve these aims.  We understand that any poultry farm layout should provide sufficient space to allow for the future expansion of key elements, like water storages and manure storages.

Poultry Farm Site Selection  more info [pdf]

Choosing the ideal site for a poultry enterprise is a complex exercise.  Some of the factors that influence site suitability include land zoning and planning issues, separation distances, groundwater vulnerability, access to an ample supply of suitable water and suitability of soils and topography for poultry farm construction.  FSA Consulting is experienced in considering all of these factors when selecting an optimal site on a property or location.

Poultry Farm Water and Energy Audits  more info [pdf]

A reliable source of good quality water is essential for any poultry farm. However, very few accurate measurements have ever been made of the water used in various activities at a poultry farm. This information is of vital importance in the current drought and climate change environment. Similarly, the energy used by these same activities within the poultry farm is also unknown.

Ever wanted to benchmark water and/or energy usage within various activities specific to your poultry facility?

Assessment of the water and energy use typically involves both desktop analysis and site investigations. An on-site review of procedures and processes would be undertaken along with the collection of water and energy use data. Water and energy use would be reviewed to ascertain long-term usage patterns, equipment performance and facility processes. An energy and/or water monitoring system could also be setup.

Remember, you can’t manage what you don’t measure!
