A partial budget analysis for phosphorus-based nutrient management plans for Connecticut dairy farms
This study estimated changes in costs of manure handling, costs of the fertilizer replacement value of manure, and expected changes in net revenues associated with the implementation of manure nutrient management plans (NMPs) based on the agronomic critical concentration for P using a partial budget analysis. The net revenue from manure management practices traditionally used by farmers in a ...

Agricultural Manure Drying Machine for Cows
Manure drying machines are utilized in agricultural settings to remove moisture from wet manure. The drying process breaks down manure, kills bacteria and creates pathogen-free bedding. The drying process also cuts down on storing and disposing of bulk manure and the costs associated with both activities. Dried Manure Solids (DMS) can be used as bedding for the dairy industry. A lactating ...

Milk Production Process: Pledge to Cut Emissions from Dairy Farms
Interest in the increasing carbon footprint of the dairy industry has grown considerably over the past few years and growing greenhouse gas emissions from the milk production process are a contributing factor. A number of greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced from fertiliser production through to consumption and disposal of packaging. Methane is produced as a direct emission from cows and carbon ...

New Mexico Business Weekly Passing biogas: R-Qubed project converts cow manure to methane
Some locals sarcastically joke that the stretch of dairy farms along Interstate 10 south of Las Cruces should be re-named “Buenos Aires” (fresh air). It’s a reference to a less than aromatic sector of I-10 in southern New Mexico, not a reflection on the capital of Argentina. But that soon might change, thanks to a US$72 million plan by R-Qubed Energy Inc. of El Paso to build ...

Equipment of dairy cattle manure treatment organic fertilizer
Now we can see that many dairy farms, chicken farms and other farms are going to buy organic fertilizer equipment. Why? First of all, because the organic fertilizer production equipment can treat the manure of livestock and poultry into organic fertilizer, which fundamentally solves the pollution caused by the manure of livestock and poultry, so that the environmental problems in the farm can be ...

Linking Wisconsin dairy and grain farms via manure transfer for corn production
One relatively under-used manure management strategy employed by dairy farmers is to transport and apply manure onto the fields of nearby grain farmers. While this system offers advantages to both parties, little of the existing research on manure management has been conducted on grain farms. As part of an effort to link grain and livestock farms in southern Wisconsin, 20 on-farm trials were ...

Planning a Successful Ventilation Retrofit
In a perfect world, every barn would be a new build where ventilation could be entered into the formula throughout the design, engineering, and building process. That fantasy, as you may have guessed, sure isn’t what we at VES work with on a day-in-day-out basis. The reality is that a large swath of the ventilation consultations and installations we do at VES are actually retrofits ...
