Report: We visited a sustainable farm in Italy
We went to visit Piggly, a sustainable farm from an environmental, production, animal welfare, and economic perspective.
Slurry management: Solar drying
Using solar energy to evaporate part of the water from the slurry can be of interest, avoiding volatization of ammonia. Solar drying can be combined with other strategies.
Report: Harnessing biogas at the farm level with a reasonable investment
In addition to the environmental benefits, the increased cost of energy and inorganic fertilizers make on-farm biogas production an interesting cost-effective option.
Slurry management: Surplus nutrients situation
In a situation with a nutrient surplus, the cost of transport is often the most important limiting factor to consider when deciding on the best manure management system for the farm.
Best available techniques to reduce emissions in swine production
Do you know the most effective, practically applicable, and economically feasible measures to reduce ammonia emissions? Proper application of these measures would meet the requirements set forth in the regulations.
Chile approves first-ever odor regulations for the swine industry
It is expected to prevent and control odor emissions from pig farms by establishing technological improvements and reducing emissions from the source.
Visit to a farm with a TRAC system: A feasible option for reducing emissions
Twelve years ago, the French cooperative Cooperl implemented the TRAC system, a novel way of removing slurry from the pits several times a day, significantly reducing ammonia emissions inside the barns.
Slurry management: Slurry lagoon sizing
Slurry lagoons, and manure holdings in general, are fundamental tools for regulating the balance between the virtually continuous production of manure and its seasonal application to fields as fertilizer.
