Summary
The present project “Construction project of a feeding place for 1000 pigs in Barxa, Castro de Rei, Lugo” aims to design and measure all the necessary infrastructures and facilities to carry out the intensive fattening of 2865 pigs per year as well as the management of the slurry produced according to the applicable regulations. The facilities will be located on plots 94 and 95 of Polygon 5 in Barxa, Castro de Rei. The plots are owned by the developer and are classified as Agricultural Protection Rural Land. The projected buildings consist of a 70 m x 15 m feeding place with a structure of three-part articulated frames, except the first and last porticos, which will be made of prefabricated pillars and beams. It also includes an annexed building of 9,2 m x 3,4 m, which will house a feed mixer and provide access to the loading dock. The slurry will be stored in two flexible tanks with a capacity of 500 m3 each, placed on a 41 m x 18 m concrete slab. A photovoltaic solar system will be installed on the roof of the feeding place to generate a significant portion of the energy consumed by the facility. The project will include the measurement and the design of the electrical, plumbing, sanitation, ventilation, photovoltaic and fire protection systems. Additionally, a basic health and safety study and a waste management plan will be conducted. The contract execution budget amounts to 832441,79 € and the estimated duration of the execution will be 59 working days. The main aim is to create a competitive pig fattening shed by applying up-to-date farming techniques and optimal management and health practices, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing animal welfare.

Summary
The aim of this project is to build a shed that will provide the promoter with suitable facilities for the rearing of Holstein heifers. The main objectives of this project are: to obtain economic benefit, animal welfare and to ensure that the daily work on the farm is light and comfortable for the operators. The plot of land on which the project will be carried out belongs to Lestedo, Boqueixón council, and is owned by the promoter. It meets all the urban requirements, has a surface area of 14.696 m2, access by asphalted road, municipal water supply and electricity network. This work includes the construction calculations for the building, which will have a prefabricated concrete structure except for the foundations, which will be built on site. All the installations necessary for the correct operation of the farm will also be calculated, such as the electrical, plumbing, sanitation and zootechnical installations. Calculations will also be made for the construction of a slurry pit and a dunghill. The shed will have a capacity for 180 heifers and will be completely open, with no side or front enclosures except for the gates that delimit the modules in which the animals are housed. The heifers to be used will be of the Holstein breed, which will be the property of the promoter. Their feed will be based on milk, straw and fodder. The animals will remain in the shed from the age of 3 days to 22 months. In the economic section, the project includes a detailed budget of all its execution costs, which amounts after taxes to 694.013,23 €.

Summary
The aim of this work is to design a shed that allows the promoter to carry out the rearing of heifers necessary for the dairy farm he owns, seeking to facilitate daily management as much as possible. In its design we will consider animal welfare and cow-comfort. Additionally, two trench silos will be built to store fodder for these animals. The project will be carried out on the property of the promoter which is located in Os Vilares (Guitiriz) and with cadastral reference 27022A161001320000FT, this meets the urban requirements that are needed for a project of this nature. It has an area of 2.44 hectares on Rustic Land of Special Agricultural Protection, where all the facilities of the promoter's farm are located and the area where the shed and the silos are intended to be built are on grassland. The farm works with the Friesian and Jersey breeds. Special attention was paid to the productive process, considering this stage of rearing to be transcendental for the development of the future dairy cow. In the work, a design of the facilities for the shed was made considering the heifers needed annually and for the silos, the fodder that will be stored annually was assessed. The constructive calculations of the structure that will be made up of precast concrete purlins, pillars, beams and panels and of the foundation that will be executed in situ were carried out. Calculations were also made for all the necessary installations for a correct operation of the building. The silos will be made of prefabricated concrete panels and will have a horizontal drainage system. Regarding the programming of the works, it is estimated that they will last a total of 66 days. A detailed budget of all its execution costs was made, amounting to 525.974,39 €. An economic-financial evaluation was also made.

Summary
The rural population in Galicia, and by extension throughout the country, has experienced a gradual demographic decline and aging of its age structure over the past three or four decades. This phenomenon has had a direct impact on the reduction of activities such as the exploitation of forest resources, extensive livestock farming in mountainous areas, and the use of pastures. The lack of use of these rural areas has led to a significant accumulation of combustible material, mainly due to the expansion of dense masses of pyrophytic shrubs, such as species belonging to the genera Ulex, Erica, and Cytisus. These shrublands, present both in areas without tree cover and underneath it, are one of the main causes of the high intensity and virulence of forest fires in Galicia, whose extent, density, and risk increase each year. Various measures can be implemented to address this important Galician problem, including prevention, awareness, and dissemination activities, as established in state (Ley 43/2003 de montes) and regional legislation (Ley Orgánica 1/1981 de aprobación del Estatuto de Autonomía, Ley 3/2007 de Incendios Forestales de Galicia o la Ley 7/2012 de Montes de Galicia or Plan anual de Prevención e Defensa contra Incendios Forestais de Galicia). Preventive forestry comprises a set of actions aimed at increasing resistance to fire propagation by reducing fuel load. Among these actions are prescribed burns, a quick, low-cost, and effective silvicultural tool that can change this dynamic by reducing forest fuel material with various possible objectives. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness and durability over time of the impact of controlled burning on reducing fuel load, as well as on the potential fire behaviour in Ulex europaeus thickets in the area. In order to anticipate and plan fundamental actions to prevent and mitigate the devastating effects of potential forest fires. This proactive approach will not only contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem but also improve the capacity to respond to and manage forest resources in the face of possible fire emergencies.
