چکیده انگلیسی
This study presents a series of algorithms designed to assist farmers and other decision-makers in the design of dairy cattle housing. Four algorithms have been developed, each for a different basic design (2 rows head-to-head, 2 rows head-to-wall, 3 rows, or rows perpendicular to feed alley). Each algorithm requires input of herd size and various other parameters (e.g., free-stall width), depending on the design; the output gives barn layout and overall size, thus facilitating comparison of designs in terms of financial cost and animal welfare. Although these algorithms have been developed primarily for small family farms in Galicia (northwest Spain) with herd sizes of up to 250, they could be useful for herds of any size, because herd size is an input parameter. We consider that these algorithms are useful tools for dairy farm planning, and they can be readily incorporated into personal computer applications, greatly facilitating their application.
