Abstract: Investment in new buildings is a major decision for intensive livestock producers. Trials into low-cost structures for housing large groups of growing pigs have been conducted in Western Australia. This paper presents a financial evaluation of these structures and concludes that the financial and physical flexibility that these structures offer is a major advantage.
