Improved results with biomass
Savage Cat Farm has two sheds heated with biomass, and two with the old oil-fired Priva heaters, so it makes an excellent testing facility for comparing one type of heating with another. On this crop the average weight in Sheds 1 & 2 was 2.34kg and the average in sheds 3 & 4 was 2.37kg. Not a massive difference, but worth an extra £5,000 over four sheds in one crop.
With biomass boilers on sheds 3 & 4 the farm got a better environment for the birds, dry heat, lower CO2 with less ventilation, better than half price heating, extra income from the RHI, and extra income from the birds.
