Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Gotland Slagteri AB jointly with pig producers experienced that several construction projects of pig facilities were delayed or hindered due to insufficient locally established advisory services, specifically with competence in construction of pig facilities and the associated growth process. In corporation with the unit of Agriculture and Horticulture at Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and the farm advisory service, Gård och Djurhälsan, a project was carried out with the aim to write a handbook about the construction and growth process. One of the objectives with the handbook was to serve as a manual in which a pig producer could get more information about a specific topic relevant in the process. The handbook is composed of shorter texts in addition to checklists, "step by step", templates, forms and calculation tools. The project group has had several, so-called dialogue meetings, where specific topics, relevant to the construction and growth process, have been discussed within the group or with the participation of experts. The purpose of these meetings has been to retrieve deeper knowledge of specific topics, e.g., pig production planning, bank and finances, disease control and organic production. All these dialogue meetings have resulted in various chapters in this handbook. Additionally, there are a stand-alone template about writing a work environment plan for construction sites, several calculation tools for the operational phases in pig production, a template for ventilation and heat demand in pig units, a construction investment calculation tool and a time planning tool, i.e., a Gantt chart. The guidance focuses on the administration of a construction project and the growth process related to it. This guide does not contain topics related to e.g., crop production, feed production or manure handling. Neither such administration as required during the actual operational phase of the pig facility, such as systematic work environment plan or systematic fire protection plan. Additionally, the project group went on a study tour to Bornholm, Denmark, to discuss pros and cons operating an abattoir or pig production on an island (Grisproduktion på Bornholm – reseberättelse från studieresa i projektet ”Utökad grisproduktion på Gotland”, RISE report 2021:114).
