Livestock barn FARM-TEK

for pigswith photovoltaic panel

Product overview
For over five years I-TEK Solutions has developed new building concepts for livestock farms. FARM-TEK is a modular pig production concept designed to be adapted to any farm size and to integrate into the landscape using selected materials and colours. The concept prioritises farm health, operational flow based on the “moving forward” principle to avoid animal mixing during physiological stage changes, and biosecurity while enabling controlled public or educational visits via side aisles and windows.

Advantages

• Adaptable concept that fits different farm scales
• Built environment designed to present a clear, professional image to visitors and consumers
• Harmonious integration of the building within the landscape
• Layout compliant with the “moving forward” principle and enhanced biosecurity
• Option to broadcast audio in barns
• Side aisle in farrowing units allowing external visits without direct contact with animals, reducing bacterial transmission risk
• Animal husbandry designed to provide maximum freedom
• Support for straw-based fattening

Technical description

• EXATOP post-ventilation system with underfloor air intake
• Air treatment via scrubber or biofilter
• Aluminium roofing on a Magnélis support structure
• Provision for adding photovoltaic panels and biothermal energy production
• Automated straw distribution for fattening areas
• Entry airlock to control access and strengthen biosecurity

Caractéristiques / spécifications techniques

• Adaptable building concept for pork production positioned between conventional and organic systems
• Designed to improve farm traceability and reduce antibiotic usage
• Layout enables supervised visits via side aisles and windows while maintaining biosecurity
• Supports air treatment solutions (scrubber or biofilter)
• Ventilation: EXATOP post-ventilation with underfloor air intake
• Structure: Magnélis support structure; aluminium roofing
• Energy options: space and connections for photovoltaic panels and biothermal systems
• Animal husbandry: supports straw-based fattening and automated straw distribution
• Biosecurity: entry airlock and design to prevent mixing animals across physiological stages
• Farm integration: choice of materials and colours to harmonise with landscape and present a positive image
