Non-organic food production promotes the use of pesticides and chemicals which can pollute water and the environment by making their way into the food chain. Many pesticides don’t just kill the target pest, they can affect other wildlife by contaminating watercourses or disrupting ecosystems. In contrast, Organic farming doesn’t allow any synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Research suggests that if all UK farming was organic, pesticide use would drop by 98%! Meaning that organic farms are a haven for wildlife. In organic farming, natural alternatives are used to control pests and disease. Including crop rotations, encouraging natural predators, and good soil will promote better, healthy and pest free crops. Organic farmers are allowed to use just 15 pesticides, originating from natural ingredients including citronella and clove oil, but they can only be used under very restricted circumstances. Here at Buildings uk, we provide the very highest standard of...

It is also identified as cheaper options. However, they could be costing your farm more than you think. The use of steel buildings for livestock houses has gained popularity, due to the versatility and durability of the material. Steel also gives a more modern aesthetic. It’s more common to see them utilised for storage but there’s no reason they can’t be used for livestock as well.

Steel costs less overall Some people may believe that a wooden livestock house will cost less. By using wood instead of steel, they are saving money.

The first thing to consider when thinking about constructing a new farm building is how the investment fits in with your farm. It is a big investment, so you need to have a reason for building. Will it help improve productivity, animal health and welfare or overall returns? Will it help with the efficiency? Is it a replacement for an existing building or added space? It would be a good idea to  Spend some time thinking about these issues before you get into the detail of what you need. your needs Once you have decided what you need from the new building, think about how it is going to be used, the level of flexibility you require from it and how long you expect it to last. This will impact what materials you would need to use. a building designed to house dairy cows, will need to be very different from one used for hay or grain storage. Think about the future Do you need a general-purpose building which can be adapted to different uses at different ti...

Steel framed buildings with concrete flooring either purpose built as calf housing or an existing building should not be too large for the farm's system. This is because calves up to four weeks of age are temperature sensitive animals under UK winter conditions. Large  buildings may create an airspace that is difficult to maintain. Gust of wind and shifting air movements may produce draughts or cold zones and with large numbers of animals under one roof there is a heightened risk of disease. If steel frames sheds are being built it would be better to construct a number of smaller ones. As well as more manageable airspace, it would make for a more hygienic/clean and flexible unit. The upside of using steel framed buildings in this way is the buildings durability, longevity  and adaptability of the space that can serve purposes other than calf rearing. They can also be custom built to your every requirement. PROS They will last They are adaptable and can serve...
