Feedlot Design

DGA has designed over 140 feedlots in the Midwest region. With this experience we have honed our design skills to offer you designs that suit your vision, maximize production efficiency, increase manure management flexibility, and maintain regulatory compliance.

We stand out among other Agriculutral Engineering firms because:

  1. We have come up with innovative solutions to tough permitting and waste handling problems.
  2. We can recommend the optimal confinement housing type for your operation based off of some exciting new research (comparisons of three different types of housing), and also depending on your site specific conditions and your management style.
  3. Our TSP and CNMP NRCS designs will include all aspects of your feedlot to incorporate into your NRCS contract.  This includes pen and working facility designs if needed.
  4. Following the Bud Williams approach to handling livestock we can design your working facility that reduces stress on the animals and will increase your handling efficiency.
