Pigsty in Stadel

Environmental impact report for construction project (EIR)

The project

The owner of the pig fattening farm in Stadel ZH is planning a new building to increase the number of animals. The planned project aims to expand the already successful pig fattening operation, to maintain the standards already achieved in terms of animal welfare and to further improve those in terms of labor and operational efficiency. The project provides for barn-related and operational measures to limit emissions (dust, ammonia and odor) as a precautionary measure. For example, exhaust air purification systems (bioscrubbers) can reduce NH3 emissions by almost a third despite the increase in livestock.
