I believe that’s us and xxxxxxxxx. One of the auditing bodies required us to do it.

sorry senior moment [email protected]

depends who you are with and what type of building you have. if you email me your full name and postal address and phone number i will get an information pack out to you from BQP

Thought I would try to show the plumbing. The cost just below £1000

Just a quick update. the filter has been running now for 10 days so we decided to see if its working. Iron levels prior to the filter 2mg/l and out of the filter 0mg. We then attached the main water pump to the bottom of the tank to backwash it. we had to run it for about 10 mins to clear it...

From what I’ve found out. you need to filter it. But I am certainly no expert. with the tanks the important bit is having the water above the sand so that jelly and iron can settle out. I read somewhere that bacteria eats something probably that jelly. if I am honest I don’t know if the gravel...

This is one I made last summer. The bore pumps in at the top. This uses gravity to fill a tank and a submersible pump fills the header tank. The problem was we couldn’t get the bore to switch off. Luckily it didn’t matter as there was 9000 pigs on site so we needed back up from the mains. there...

for @snarling bee Anyone who knows me, knows I hate with a passion iron in the water supply from bore holes in pigs. I have been playing around for about a year now with differing systems to take away the iron through aeration of the water. The brief to myself is: It needs to do 10 cube + a day...

I think you mean 1000 pigs i have attached a great bale trolley that one of our guys has designed for placing bales down the catwalk

We have one building at 22’ to the eves it was designed for Just in case the pig job fell over. It’s been a bit of a disappointment if I’m honest. Air warms up then cools down and falls back down onto the pigs leaving to mucking in the wrong place. this has been solved now by putting in a false...

Yes. But if your in the SW you need to speak to Stockcroft LTD and Fawley farms

You are absolutely correct there are others out there. But this thread came from a talk I did last week. The others have the right to jump in at any time. Re labour that again is down to personal choice. I like to be as open as possible for what we expect for the stock. Avg 2-3 hrs per day for a...
