Logistics in Dairy Construction
MJE creates flexible solutions to challenges found on most job sites to combat stress during large-scale construction. During the design phase, cattle comfort and cattle flow are top priorities. Stressed cattle don’t produce in the same way calm cattle produce milk. A quiet cow is a happy cow. An effective transition between stalls and milking parlors will have cows learning their routine in no time, with less oversight needed from handlers.
Effective & sustainable waste management processes can make dairies more sustainable and cost-efficient to run. MJE brings experience and innovative solutions for every imaginable scenario for effective manure management. MJE utilizes the most advanced methods approaches to manure management and has skills in constructing digesters, separators, and lagoons.
Cattle comfort, cattle flow, and manure management are huge components of an efficient dairy, and commodity storage is no less critical. Using advanced techniques, we’re able to maximize workflow with effective design.
Our goal is to build diaries that flow with ease because the work of a dairy never stops. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days per year, the cattle must be milked and fed without delay. Employees of the dairy need to safely and efficiently feed, clean, milk, and care for the animals. A good design & workflow makes the jobs of dairymen easier.
