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: 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?
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.
Slurry management: Fertilization plan
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.
Slurry management: Measures to reduce slurry at the source
Reducing slurry at the source means modifying production guidelines to reduce environmental effects and improve the subsequent management of slurry.
Slurry management: Making decisions in an orderly fashion
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.
