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.

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.

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 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.

Fertilization is the most direct and simplest way to give value to our slurry. Here we explain several points to take into account for proper fertilization of your soils and crops.

Reducing slurry at the source means modifying production guidelines to reduce environmental effects and improve the subsequent management of slurry.

The slurry that my farm produces is becoming a problem. How can I get the most value from it? How do I make the most of this resource? This step-by-step guide will help you decide which way is best suited to your situation and will allow you to transform what is perceived as a problem into an opportunity.

Incorporating fibrous by-products in the feed reduces the emission of ammonium from manure and nitrous oxide in agricultural fields

After reviewing some of the main hazards for pork producers in previous articles, this article is devoted to practical measures describing how to reduce risks of illnesses and injuries from those hazards.

Liquid manure in deep anaerobic storage, contains sulfur (from amino acids in feed, manure or in water) which certain bacteria (anaerobes) use as a substitute for oxygen. They produce H₂S as an end product, which is toxic to living tissue, by stopping the energy supplying reactions in the tissue cells.

Man is possibly the only animal capable of living in practically all places in the world, regardless of the climate. This is due to his capacity to construct buildings to isolate himself from the climate however extreme it may be, maintaining an environment which allows him to survive. As domestic animals live together with man, they have to take advantage indirectly of this capacity.
