Manure Management

Swine CAFOs create a lot of waste but what if that waste isn't waste at all. What if it is actually a nutrient rich byproduct that replaces petroleum-based fertilizers, cuts farm costs up to 75 percent per acre, and works toward rebuilding topsoil...Wait a minute, that's exactly what hog manure does. Get the scoop on pig poop.

Swine manure digester

Use of Lagoon Biogas for Incineration of Swine Mortalities in Morrilton, AR

Australia: Methane emissions stand to boost farmers' income

The Australian Government today launched the first methodology to be approved under the Carbon Farming Initiative, which will provide pig farmers with the opportunity to earn carbon credits for reducing methane emissions from manure.

United Kingdom: £20 million for farming and forestry businesses

A new £20 million fund to help rural businesses increase profits and reduce their impact on the environment.

NutritionAbstract

Dietary crude protein and phytase-xylanase supplementation of wheat grain based diets affect energy metabolism and enteric methane in growing finishing pigs

A combination of dietary crude protein and P reduction with added phytase is the key to optimize pig production efficiency, while minimizing their environmental impacts.

Effect of biofuel co-products in pig diets on the excretory patterns of N and C and on the subsequent ammonia and methane emissions from pig effluent

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporation into pig diets of 20% of different co-products from the biofuel industries on animal growth performance, on N and carbon C excretions, and on the subsequent ammonia volatilisation and methane production during the storage of slurry.

Commission urges France and Greece to strengthen measures to combat water pollution by nitrates

In France, the current legal framework and the nitrates action plans for zones vulnerable to nitrate pollution do not effectively guarantee that this pollution is addressed effectively, as required by EU law. Greece too has a number of failings in this area.

NutritionAbstract

Reduction of greenhouse gas emission from swine manure by using a low-protein diet with synthetic amino acids

Under ad libitum feeding, a low crude protein amino acid supplemented diet can reduce N excretion in manure with no impact on animal growth.

Overview of the simulation program linking a linear program for least-cost diet formulation, a stochastic pig growth model and a genetic algorithm (GA) to findthe best feeding strategy (F) for a given objective function in a specific market situation

Computer simulation to find the best feeding strategy

Production of pig meat worldwide exceeds that of any other meat. Traditionally, linear programming is used to generate minimum cost diets that to meet the pig nutrient requirements. Of greater importance to the pig producer than least cost diets is the maximisation of gross margin (per pig place or per pig place per year).

NutritionAbstract

The effect of introducing purified β-glucans to a wheat-based diet on total tract digestibility and gaseous manure emissions from pigs as compared with consumption of a β -glucan-rich, barley-based diet

Offering a purified source of β-glucans resulted in beneficial reductions in odorous volatile fatty acids in the distal gastrointestinal tract and in excreted manure, and may reflect improvements in N digestibility.

Bulgaria - MAF has prepared a program to reduce pollution caused by nitrates

Since the beginning of this year a program on measures for restricting and liquidating nitrate pollution from agricultural sources in vulnerable zones came into force. Application period is from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2014 The program is compulsory for all farmers of nitrate vulnerable zones in the country.

Survey of Salmonella populations from swine waste-treatment technologies

The objectives of this field survey were to evaluate the effects of several promising swine waste-management and treatment technologies on reducing Salmonella presence and populations and to characterize the diversity of Salmonella isolates recovered from the waste streams using serotyping and antibiotic-susceptibility analysis.

Netherlands - Pig-farming sector has efficient production, but manure results in high costs

The Dutch pig-farming sector is operating within a competitive European market, and production costs play an important role in the sector’s competitiveness. At €1.41 per kg of slaughter weight in 2009, the Netherlands’ production costs are fairly average compared with those in rival countries within Europe. However, Dutch pig farmers pay a relatively high price for the disposal of manure: 5% of the production costs.

Impact of temperature control strategies on animal performance, gas emissions and energy requirements for grower‐finisher pigs

The objectives of this study were to compare the impact of three control strategies of temperature set point on grower‐finisher pigs and their growth performance, ammonia emissions, and heating energy consumption under Québec conditions.

Canada - Governments of Canada and Manitoba help improve environmental practices for pig producers

Manitoba pig producers will soon have access to more than $26 million to help them improve manure management and to reduce the risk of water contamination. This strategic investment was announced today by federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Stan Struthers.

Ireland - Farmers welcome bid to develop pig and poultry manure technologies

Farmers have welcomed a bid to develop technologies aimed at increasing the use of organic pig and poultry manure on tillage farms.
