INSTITUT DE L'ELEVAGEBuildings: Rationalizing Investments and Costs (BRIC) in Ruminant Farming
This is a mobile application developed by the Livestock Institute. From a computer or smartphone, farmers or advisors can create either a free or paid account, depending on the options selected. Once the account is created, the user specifies the department (administrative region) they are located in. They can then design one or more livestock building construction or expansion projects and estimate the cost based on up-to-date regional prices.
The free version of the tool allows access to a limited number of simulations and predefined building models. The annual subscription, on the other hand, offers unlimited simulations and the ability to freely configure building dimensions (corridor widths, building heights, etc.).
