The Kwatrijn concept makes it possible to close nutrient cycles and to meet a large part of the company’s protein requirements. The use of solid manure is ideal for soil life and soil fertility, the liquid manure stimulates optimum crop growth. Fertilizer is hardly needed anymore. Grass clover, herb-rich grass mixtures and own grain cultivation mean that less concentrates and straw (for in the stable) have to be purchased. Hay from the nature parcels can be used for the young stable stock.

The stable can be seen in the landscape. Thanks to the articulated roof with the three hoods, the scale fits in well with the surroundings. Thanks to the transparent design, beautiful views of the stream valley are maintained. The stable therefore does not get dense planting. The manure storage and feed pits are finished with grass slopes, so that they seamlessly connect to the ground level and stand out less. Additional avenue planting will be installed along the Essche track to make this historic line more experienceable and visually link the stable to it.
