Climate changes have forced governments around the world to enforce legislation to reduce the carbon footprint from all parts of society including pig production.
The co-legislators agreed to extend IED measures to pig farms with more than 350 livestock units (LSU).
Eight years ago, Granja Capdevila Torrent Ramaders started up its biogas production plant using co-digestion and is now an example of economic viability and sustainability.
This article provides an example of the cost per ton of CO2 saved by reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions through daily slurry removal and anaerobic digestion.
We went to visit Piggly, a sustainable farm from an environmental, production, animal welfare, and economic perspective.
Using solar energy to evaporate part of the water from the slurry can be of interest, avoiding volatization of ammonia. Solar drying can be combined with other strategies.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the increased cost of energy and inorganic fertilizers make on-farm biogas production an interesting cost-effective option.
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.
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.
It is expected to prevent and control odor emissions from pig farms by establishing technological improvements and reducing emissions from the source.
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 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.
Is the slurry generated by your farm becoming a problem? Good slurry management allows you to turn it into a valuable resource. This new tool will help you decide which management system is best suited to your situation.
A total of 278 pig farmers will receive funding through the Subsidy Scheme for the Remediation of Pig Farms to close and demolish their pig farms.
