Slurry management: Composting swine manure
Composting pig manure results in a product that can be sold in the organic amendment, horticulture, and gardening market.
Slurry management: The anaerobic digestion process
Among other things, anaerobic digestion improves the fertilizer quality of slurry and reduces odors and GHG emissions. The choice to use this or not will also depend on the justification of the cost, i.e. whether it allows for energy savings on the farm or whether it provides an income from the sale of the energy generated.
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: Solid/liquid separation of swine manure
Solid/liquid slurry separation systems improve the subsequent management of the slurry, such as its transport or further treatment of each fraction.
Slurry management: Acidification
Acidification of slurry prevents the formation of ammonia and its loss by volatilization, reducing the loss of fertilizer value of the slurry.
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.
Organic fertilizers are considered by MEPs
To reduce the dependence on fertiliser imports in the long term, Parliament proposes a switch to alternative organic sources of nutrients for agriculture.
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.
Slurry management: Situations with no surplus of nutrients
In a situation of nutrient balance between the nutrients produced and the needs of the crops, priority is given to the transport and application management and the fertilizer quality of the slurry. Which systems allow me to optimize these?
ETW presents a new range of standardized ETW SmartCycle® biomethane plants
Optimized portfolio enables more effective biogas upgrading.
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.
Spain: Poor implementation of the Nitrates Directive
Commission decides to refer SPAIN to the Court of Justice of the European Union for poor implementation of the Nitrates Directive.
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: Defining the scenarios and the problem to solve
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.
FIGAN 2021
Being a biannual fair, FIGAN has not missed any in-person edition due to the pandemic and was held once again, in Zaragoza, Spain. This year 333 was present with a stand where the whole industry visited. In case you could not come, we have prepared a photo report.
