Article
The first objective of this paper was to develop a series of algorithms for sizing group milking parlours (herringbone and parallel) that guarantee the best approximation to maximum efficiency and allow the variability of some important design parameters to be considered. The maximum efficiency was defined as that achieved when the total milking ti...

Hórreos are traditional rural buildings of northern Spain used for desiccation and conservation of cereal grains. They provide natural ventilation, an unfavourable environment to discourage attack by biotic agents (e.g., fungi and insects) and prevent access by others, such as rodents. The objective of this paper was to study the environmental cond...
Article
The objective of this paper was to detect pith location in chestnut lumber by using acoustic tomography techniques. To this end, the velocity gradient was analysed by relating the value of longitudinal stress-wave velocity to the distance from the point where velocity was measured to the pith. A commercial stress-wave timer was used to measure long...
Article
This paper aims to determine the factors that most strongly influence the durability of timber members in agricultural and livestock buildings. A sample of 133 agricultural and livestock buildings was selected, including barns for housing different livestock species and other agricultural buildings such as storage buildings or hay barns. Every buil...
Article
This paper presents a series of algorithms for dairy barn design. The aim of the study was to develop algorithms for the design of new barn areas that can added to the main barn areas (resting, feeding, and exercise) to complement barn layout. More specifically, we developed design and dimensioning schemes to incorporate the maternity area and the...
Article
The objective of this study was to obtain variables that enabled estimation of variation in stall occupancy times based on the cow-to-stall ratio. First, stall use by Holstein–Friesian cows was analyzed on 16 farms in Galicia, Northwest Spain, by continuously recording cow behavior for 24h. Intervals of 17s were recorded every 3min and 30s. The vid...
Article
The features, dimensions and organisation of internal elements in freestall dairy barns are decisive in determining the layout design. The aim of this study was to define structural solutions using timber elements for the most common barn layouts. The objectives were to simplify the structural concept of the building to develop standardised constru...

The design of stables, where the animals are free, have an important influence in the management in two ways. It affects in first place to the healthy conditions and to the average productivity, and in second place to the techniques of management, that have a great incidence in the necesary timefor the care and in the working conditiones of the wor...

Nowadays, the mountain in Galicia seems to have an exclusively forest porpouse, but traditionaly, this did not happen. The use of mountain is a model of sustainable situations, according to Balboa. Theses uses in Galicia could be summarized in the following points:  "Estivadas", use of the mountain based on utilization of fire for renewing gorse a...
