Our study aimed to define a zootechnical rearing module suitable to satisfy the productive and profitability needs of zootechnical enterprises for the rearing of dairy cattle in compliance with regulatory requirements concerning the environment, biological productions as well as animal hygiene and wellbeing. The study was conducted in the zootechnical district of the Apulian Murgia, featuring a high productive specialization. The farm module was defined by analyzing and identifying both quantitative and qualitative parameters. The optimum number of heads per farm (quantitative parameter) was determined on the basis of technical and regulatory references of agronomic and environmental type as well as through direct surveys. The qualitative assessment, performed in order to define the rearing module from a building standpoint, was carried out by comparing the rearing module previously determined in consideration of the regulations on the subjects of hygiene (Community Directives 92/46and 92/47), animal wellbeing (Community Directives 98/58 and 92/2) and the natural environment (Community Directives 79/409 and 92/43). The study we conducted enabled us to establish the optimum number of heads in terms of profitability and made it possible for us to define a building model suitable to satisfy the needs of farms with regard to production as well as environmental and landscaping requirements. By comparing the identified model with the recurrent typologies found through our surveys, our study enabled the representation of the interventions needed to adjust the rearing facilities to the identified module.

Abstract
Our study aimed to define a zootechnical rearing module suitable to satisfy the productive and profitability needs of zootechnical enterprises for the rearing of dairy cattle in compliance with regulatory requirements concerning the environment, biological productions as well as animal hygiene and wellbeing. The study was conducted in the zootechnical district of the Apulian Murgia, featuring a high productive specialization. The farm module was defined by analyzing and identifying both quantitative and qualitative parameters. The optimum number of heads per farm (quantitative parameter) was determined on the basis of technical and regulatory references of agronomic and environmental type as well as through direct surveys. The qualitative assessment, performed in order to define the rearing module from a building standpoint, was carried out by comparing the rearing module previously determined in consideration of the regulations on the subjects of hygiene (Community Directives 92/46and 92/47), animal wellbeing (Community Directives 98/58 and 92/2) and the natural environment (Community Directives 79/409 and 92/43). The study we conducted enabled us to establish the optimum number of heads in terms of profitability and made it possible for us to define a building model suitable to satisfy the needs of farms with regard to production as well as environmental and landscaping requirements. By comparing the identified model with the recurrent typologies found through our surveys, our study enabled the representation of the interventions needed to adjust the rearing facilities to the identified module.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
