Project - Bioenergy Farm 2 Agricultural bioenergy from liquid manure and residues
Project period: 2013-2016 ‘BioEnergy Farm 2’ supports farmers with the planning and construction of agricultural biogas plants. At the forefront is the recycling of the farms’ own residues, primarily liquid and solid manure. An online tool gives interested farmers the opportunity to have an initial estimation of the economic feasibility of the biogas plant. If the farmers show ...

Effect of tillage and rainfall on transport of manure-applied cryptosporidium parvum oocysts through soil
Received for publication September 30, 2008. Most waterborne outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis have been attributed to agricultural sources due to the high prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts in animal wastes and manure spreading on farmlands. No-till, an effective conservation practice, often results in soil having higher water infiltration and percolation rates than conventional tillage. We ...

A small plant with great success - case study
The farm-based biogas plant operated by the Wienken family in Augustenfeld (near Löningen) is the first plant of its size built by bwe. Originally, the farm's operator had planned to install a straw heating element. However, since the input materials are available on the farm itself in their entirety, the decision to implement a biogas plant designed by bwe was obvious. One decisive aspect ...

Is colloid-facilitated Phosphorus leaching triggered by Phosphorus accumulation in sandy soils?
The leaching of colloidal phosphorus (Pcoll) contributes to P losses from agricultural soils. In an irrigation experiment with undisturbed soil columns, we investigated whether the accumulation of P in soils due to excess P additions enhances the leaching of colloids and Pcoll from sandy soils. Furthermore, we hypothesized that large concentrations of Pcoll occur at the onset of leaching events ...

Influence of temperature during the initial phase of Composting on biological activity and emission of Ammonia and dinitrogen oxide
Composting is a robust and cheap biological treatment method useful for all solid biodegradable waste. The performance of composting can vary substantially depending on managing conditions such as oxygen supply and compost temperature. Oxygen and temperature affects the rate of degradation and may also influence emission of NH3 and N2O. The gaseous N losses during composting from organic ...

Enhancing soil infiltration reduces gaseous emissions and improves n uptake from applied dairy slurry
Rapid infiltration of liquid manure into the soil reduces emissions of ammonia (NH3) into the atmosphere. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of two low-cost methods of assisting infiltration of applied dairy slurry on emissions of NH3, nitrous oxide (N2O), and on crop N uptake. The two methods were removing of solids by settling-decantation to make the manure less viscous and ...

Enhancing nutrient cycling by coupling cover crops with manure injection
Coupling winter small grain cover crops (CC) with liquid manure injection may increase manure nutrient capture. The objectives of this research were to quantify manure injection effects using target swine (Sus scrofa) manure N rates of 112, 224, and 336 kg N ha–1 on CC plant density, fall and spring shoot biomass, N, P, and K uptake and subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) yield. A winter rye (Secale ...

Cover crop and liquid manure effects on soil quality indicators in a corn silage system
Due to a lack of surface residue and organic matter inputs, continuous corn (Zea mays L.) silage production is one of the most demanding cropping systems imposed on our soil resources. In this study, our objective was to determine if using cover/companion crops and/or applying low-solids liquid dairy manure could improve physical, chemical, and biological soil properties and overall soil quality. ...

Removal of Phosphorus from livestock effluents
Received for publication December 12, 2007. For removal of phosphorus (P) from swine liquid manure before land application, we developed a treatment process that produces low P effluents and a valuable P by-product with minimal chemical addition and ammonia losses. The new wastewater process included two sequential steps: (i) biological nitrification and (ii) increasing the pH of the nitrified ...

Why Invest in A Manure Separator On Your Farms?
Manure separation is a process that involves dividing raw livestock manure into its solid and liquid components. This separation is typically achieved through mechanical means, such as using specialized equipment like screw press manure separators or sloped screen separators. The process is essential in modern agricultural practices as it allows farmers to manage manure more effectively, extract ...

Nitrogen immobilization and mineralization kinetics of cattle, hog, and Turkey manure applied to soil
Nitrogen mineralization and immobilization following manure application are critical processes influencing plant N supply and offsite N losses. We conducted laboratory experiments to examine the influence of these two processes in addition to N oxide gas production on N availability for 180 d following manure addition. A Tara loam (fine-silty, mixed, superactive, frigid Aquic Hapludoll) and a ...

Escherichia coli transport from surface-applied manure to subsurface drains through artificial biopores
Received for publication March 3, 2009. Bacteria transport in soils primarily occurs through soil mesopores and macropores (e.g., biopores and cracks). Field research has demonstrated that biopores and subsurface drains can be hydraulically connected. This research was conducted to investigate the importance of surface connected and disconnected (buried) biopores on Escherichia coli (E. coli) ...

Transport of lincomycin to surface and ground water from manure-amended cropland
Livestock manure containing antimicrobials becomes a possible source of these compounds to surface and ground waters when applied to cropland as a nutrient source. The potential for transport of the veterinary antimicrobial lincomycin to surface waters via surface runoff and to leach to ground water was assessed by monitoring manure-amended soil, simulated rainfall runoff, snowmelt runoff, and ...
