ANIMAL-FRIENDLY SHELTERS
The document discusses modern breeding technologies that focus on animal welfare through open-air breeding solutions. These methods align with veterinary recommendations and improve animal health and growth rates.
Agritech has developed fibreglass reinforced shelters, Agribox and Spheribox, which are lightweight, robust, and provide excellent thermal insulation. They are resistant to environmental factors and UV radiation, featuring ventilation systems for comfort during hot months. Their modular design allows easy transportation and installation without building permits.
Studies show that animals in open-air environments are healthier, with lower disease incidence and higher weight gain compared to conventional stables. A comparative table highlights improvements in mortality rates, disease onset, and weight gain for calves in Agritech boxes versus traditional stables.
The Agribox 1 and Agribox 1XL have sloping roofs for ideal air circulation. They come with or without enclosures and include feeders and drinkers. The larger Agribox 1XL offers more space for calves beyond eight weeks.
Countries like Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and France have adopted open-air breeding techniques, with growing popularity outside Europe.
- Agribox 1 XL: Larger than Agribox 1, allows calves to stay beyond 8 weeks, features a sloping roof, available with or without a galvanized fence.
- Agribox 2: Offers more space and comfort, similar air circulation features, available with or without a galvanized metal fence.
- Agribox 3: For 3 calves aged 2 to 6 months, includes a large side-sliding aeration window and optional galvanized metal fencing.
- Agribox 5: Designed for 5 calves, similar features to Agribox 3, with additional space and ventilation options.
All models feature a wide front opening for fresh air circulation, with side-sliding windows for additional ventilation during summer.
Shelters can be equipped with galvanized metal fencing, removable front gates, water and feed bucket holders, hay racks, fiberglass feeders, and rainproof protections.
Shelters are suitable for outdoor stables or grazing shelters, providing a controlled environment for young animals aged 2 to 6 months. The modularity and adaptability of the shelters cater to different farming needs.
Proper ventilation and durable materials like reinforced fiberglass and galvanized steel ensure longevity and functionality.

SPHERIBOX AGRIBOX LE MODERNE TECNICHE DI ALLEVAMENTO ZOOTECNICO SONO SENSIBILI ALLA QUALITÀ DELLA VITA DEGLI ANIMALI ED OTTEMPERANO ALLE RECENTI INDICAZIONI VETERINARIE CIRCA L’OPPORTUNITÀ DI TORNARE A FORME DI ALLEVAMENTO ALL’ARIA APERTA. Esse promuovono il benessere animale. Ciò significa che gli animali che vivono secondo natura all’aperto, stanno meglio e sono più sani e forti. Secondo i più moderni studi, gli animali allevati in ambiente esterno si ammalano meno di quelli in stalla (vi è un rischio di contagio nettamente minore) ed hanno un più alto incremento giornaliero del peso, come...
