The complexity of our situation and the objectives to achieve will depend on the results of the nutrient balance. Where do I stand? We'll help you answer this question.

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.

How will policies geared toward the environment and animal welfare shape our swine industry? Here's an overview of the potentially limiting factors.

Pros and cons of rendering carcass disposal systems, alkaline hydrolysis, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and homogenization.

The pig industry needs to counteract concerns about climate change and provide evidence we are making efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.

A comprehensive management plan for slurry transforms a perceived problem into an opportunity and a valued resource.

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

The Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products (CVMP) in the EU recommended the withdrawal of marketing authorisations for veterinary products containing zinc oxide in December 2016. Then CVMP decided to re-evaluate its opinion. The final decision is expected soon…

Genetic selection over the last few decades has resulted in pigs with better feed conversion and leaner carcasses, but it has also led to pigs with a decreased ingestion capacity.

As better information systems capable to measure change in disease patterns, vector distribution and environmental conditions are put in place, we may be surprised about the range of diseases directly or indirectly already affected by climate change.

With the earth warming up there is evidence of accelerated changes in habitat distribution changes that in turn may be affecting disease patterns and emergence of diseases.

The compound feed industry is one of the stakeholders having a role in minimizing the environmental impact while meeting the demand for high quality and cost effective products.

A challenge in animal production today is to raise livestock within new environmental rules and regulations. Although most states in the United States regulate swine waste application based on N concentration, more are changing to P-based regulations.
