Biofiltration

StarStarStarStar

Method: Using living material to filter and break down pollutants from manure. Environmental Impact: Reduces odors, greenhouse gases, and potential water contamination.

StarStarStarStar

Composting

StarStarStarStar

Method: Aerobic, thermophilic process that stabilizes organic waste. Environmental Impact: Reduces pathogens, volume, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to raw manure.

Method: Planting crops to take up excess nutrients following the main crop harvest. Environmental Impact: Reduces nitrogen leaching and soil erosion, improving water quality.

StarStarStarStar

Effluent Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Method: Applying processed liquid manure onto fields for crop use. Environmental Impact: Can lead to nutrient overloading and water contamination if not managed correctly.

Manure Lagoon

StarStarStarStar

Method: Liquid storage system designed to handle animal waste. Environmental Impact: Potential for ammonia and methane emissions but allows for controlled application of manure to land.
