Cubicle / Housing Capacity Calculator

Estimate how many animals a shed can house, based on floor area and space allowance per head.

Default space allowances are based on Teagasc/DAFM published guidance as a starting point. Actual welfare-scheme or building-spec requirements may differ — check directly before making planning or grant applications.

Pre-filled from category default — override with your specific scheme or building requirement.
Based on published agronomic guidelines. Actual results vary by farm — use as a planning guide, not a guarantee.
