Methane and carbon dioxide emission from two pig finishing barns
Received for publication July 22, 2007. Agricultural activities are an important source of greenhouse gases. However, comprehensive, long-term, and high-quality measurement data of these gases are lacking. This article presents a field study of CH4 and CO2 emission from two 1100-head mechanically ventilated pig (Sus scrofa) finishing barns (B1 and B2) with shallow manure flushing systems and ...

Pork experts indicate growing demand
According to Pig World, at the end of December 2019, “latest figures published by HMRC show a 20% year-on-year increase in UK pork exports in October… [when] pork exports were at a record high of 25,100 tonnes.” Clearly, this is good news for farmers, but even more so is the fact that in addition to the increase in volume exported, the overall value of supplies increased to a ...

Swine Barn - Case Study
Pigs have a different spectral sensitivity for visual perception compared to humans. Requirements for lighting systems in pig houses are high: lamps need to illuminate the room perfectly, but must also withstand exterior influences such as dust and ammonia. A long service life is also expected, and the cleaning distance should be as small as possible. #Pig_production #pigfarming ...

Testimonial Mr. Berger from Switzerland: no smell of pigs in the DACS house
Urs Berger is the second generation on his 250 acres farm in the village Oberbottigen in Switzerland. In 2013 he installed a DACS ventilation system in a new 1000 finisher unit. The pigs have access to an outdoor area. Nevertheless, they often choose to stay indoor - thanks to the very constant movement of preheated air in the house. Ventilation without draught With the DACS ventilation system I ...

Characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacteria isolated from sludge of commercial pig farms for producing methyl esters
The objectives of this work were to isolate and characterize the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producing bacteria in enriched piggery sludge and make methyl esters from PHA for industrial applications. The strain ECAe24 isolated from piggery sludge with the highest PHA production was selected to produce PHA and then methyl ester by trans-esterification using glucose as substrate under mesophilic ...

Is Technology Part of Pig Farming
Are you familiar with the acronym IoT? It means the Internet of Things and talks about the ways that technology has spilled over into our homes. We have “smart” televisions, phones and even smart lightbulbs. As we add more and more of these devices into our homes, they are actually “learning.” This is called machine learning as well as AI (artificial intelligence), and it ...

Frank Tobin - Pig Farm - Case Study
IDS had the opportunity to work with a well known pig farm, creating a full housing system which caters for all stages of the growth Process. The Frank Tobin Pig Farm is a well known supplier of quality pigs, more so since the development of this fantastic Pig Farm Housing System. Watch the videos, and view the pictures, below in order to gain an understanding of how we developed an ...

Housing options for a small group of pigs: a beginner’s guide
If you’re thinking about raising some pigs of your own, take into consideration one of the most important aspects in raising the animals: their housing. How will you plan on housing your pigs? Several options exist other than the traditional “hog barn” which is most efficiently used with large groups of animals. If you are looking at raising just a few animals, consider these ...

Electrical Safety in the Hog Barn
Safety has been a hot topic for as long as we can remember, and electrical safeguards should always be monitored. Damaged cords, faulty wiring, and stray voltage combined with wet floors and metal fasteners? Gates? Pens? makes for a dangerous, and sometimes deadly, combination. Electrocutions in the swine barn are few, but even one incident is one too many. When we first began manufacturing our ...

Lighting for Farrowing Shed - Case Study
Each pig production phase has different demands that require different lamps in different lighting intensities. The light should suit the phase in pig production and the type of pig house. Take the farrowing house as an example, offering optimal 200-300lx light intensity on the ground and 8-16 light hours can promote piglets and sow lactation, resulting in higher weaning weights. Also an ...

Genotoxicity of swine effluents
This study aimed at the investigation of genotoxic effects of swine effluents from different stages of a treatment system for swine wastes through bioassay of stamen hairs and micronuclei in Tradescantia (clone BNL 4430). No significant differences (p≥0.05) regarding the genic mutations were found in the bioassay of stamen hairs, independently of the effluent analysed. For the genotoxicity test ...

Cultivation of an Arthrospira platensis with digested piggery wastewater
An Arthrospira platensis strain ZJWST-S1 was isolated in Jiaxing City, China, which proved able to proliferate quickly in undiluted digested piggery wastewater (DPW), and the protein content in the algal biomass was high. Single factor experiments showed that the strain was able to quickly grow in a Zarrouk medium as the dosage of sodium bicarbonate, nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorus ...

Choosing the right feeder for a small group of pigs
Choosing the right feeding equipment is just as important as providing proper housing for any group of finishing pigs. Over the years, advancements in improving feeding efficiency and waste reduction has led to countless feeder options available to producers. Gone are the days where pigs were fed from the “slop bucket” or by simply throwing feed on the ground. Whether you’re ...

Optimization of simultaneous biomass production and nutrient removal by mixotrophic Chlorella sp. using response surface methodology
The bioprospecting of potentially mixotrophic microalgae in a constructed wetland was conducted. A locally isolated microalga, Chlorella sp., was grown to determine the effect of temperature, aeration rate, and cultivation time on simultaneous biomass production and nutrient removal from piggery wastewater using central composite design (CCD). The most important variable for the biomass ...

Enhancing growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and nutrient removal in diluted primary piggery wastewater by elevated CO2 supply
The coupling of primary piggery wastewater as a culture medium with elevated CO2 aeration is thought to be an economically feasible option for the cultivation of microalgae. However, little information is available regarding the photosynthetic characteristics of microalgae and nutrient removal from wastewater at different CO2 concentrations. It was found that elevated CO2 aeration provided ...

Pretreatment of piggery wastewater by a stable constructed microbial consortium for improving the methane production
A stable aerobic microbial consortium, established by successive subcultivation, was employed to solubilize the solid organic fraction in swine wastewater. In the 30 days' successive biological pretreatments, 30–38% of volatile solids and 19–28% total solids in raw slurry were solubilized after 10 hours at 37 °C. Meanwhile, soluble chemical oxygen ...
