Approach to the design factors of the constructions dedicated to lodging of milk goats livestock in Almería province

Abstract

In the present article are shown the results of a work of investigation centered in fixing the main factors that condition the design of the buildings dedicated lo lodgings of mi/k goals livestock in Almería province, and considering the conceptual principles of the planning of industrial facilities. For that, it has been carried out the characterization of the lodgings of mi/k goats ' livestock of the A1mería province in an integral way. by a sampling of the referred explotations. For that, a questionnaire has been made which includes all the parameters 01' variables of design that can characterize this explitatíons, and later on it has been carried out an multivariate statistical analysis that has allowed lOreduce the number of original variables by a Factorial Analysis, and that it has borne lo establish groups of exploitations with homogeneous characteristics together with the realization of a cluster analysis.
By means of this methodology five grollps of f arms with homogeneous characteristics have been obtained. andfive descriptive axes that summarize the entirety of the original quantitative variables have been determined, and that they represent the main design fa ctors that condition the construction of the lodgings.
Finally a mathematical model has been formulated that allows discriminating against among each one of the homogeneous groups of farms . allowing to classify any new farm of mi/k goats 'Livestock, and thus lo know which are the design parameters that characterize it and those on which is neccessary to act.
