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.

Dietary PC content of barley grain based, but not by corn based, diets affects methane produced by finisher pigs

The objective was to study effects of decreasing CP concentration on CH4 production, C retention efficiency and performance by finisher pigs.

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.

Genetic and environmental effects on piglet survival and maternal behaviour of the farrowing sow

One of the key components of survival in alternative, loose-housed farrowing systems is maternal behaviour and understanding the characteristics of sows that influence survival in such environments should be an essential component when developing new breeding indices.

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.

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.

USA: EPA decides to back off on Farm Dust Regulations

The federal government is backing away from tighter air-quality regulations that generated a controversy over farm dust. On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement that it hopes the action 'finally puts an end to the myth that the agency is planning to expand regulation of farm dust.'

New method for measuring odour from pig barns

Does the air smell or not? That question has until now been very difficult to answer. Scientists from Aarhus University will, in collaboration with Infarm A/S, SKOV A/S and the Pig Research Centre under the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, now try and get a handle on the problem by developing a model.

NutritionAbstract

The effect of phosphorus restriction during the weaner-grower phase on compensatory growth, serum osteocalcin and bone mineralization in gilts

Offering pigs a low-P diet from 10 to 100 kg BW lead to reductions in P excretion, however, growth performance and bone mineralization were compromised.

Free waste oil uplift from farms

A free waste oil collection service for farmers across the UK has been launched by Solway Recycling of Dumfries.

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.
