The optimisation of animal-husbandry systems requires efficient, cost-effective work and production processes, and can only be achieved by the best possible use of process engineering.

Ammonia, diesel soot, odour and other emissions are by-products of agricultural production. Often, these emissions are closely associated with the use of energy. New solutions for reducing emissions and using energy more efficiently are needed.

Is farm expansion on the cards? Is a new line of production about to be developed? It is vital to calculate the future working time requirement, and this cannot be managed without key work economics figures.
