Manure Management Sample Clauses

Manure Management. Dairy manure management systems are generally designed based on the physical state of the manure being handled. Dairy cattle manure is collected and managed as a liquid, a semi-solid or slurry, and a solid, and most dairies have both wet and dry manure management systems. In a slurry or liquid system, manure is flushed from alleys or pits to a storage facility. Typically, effluent from the solids separation system or supernatant from ponds or anaerobic lagoons is used as flush water. The supernatant is the clear liquid overlying the solids that settle below. Dairy manure that is handled and stored as a slurry or liquid may be mixed with dry manure. Liquid systems are usually favored by large dairies for their lower labor cost and because the larger dairies tend to use automatic flushing systems. Manure accumulates in confinement areas such as barns, drylots, and milking center, and is primarily deposited in areas where the herd is fed and watered. Drylots are used to house calves, and heifers. Due to loss of moisture through evaporation and drainage, drylot manure can either be spread directly after collection or stored in stockpiles for subsequent disposal by land application. Either drylots or freestall barns are used to house the lactating herd when they are not milked. Dairy cattle manure accumulations in freestall barns are typically collected and removed by mechanized scraping systems or by using a flush system. The milking center houses the lactating herd when they are being milked.

Manure Management. Although use of open lots for swine production still occurs, this method of confinement generally is limited to small operations. Swine manure produced in open lots is handled as a solid in a similar fashion as at beef cattle feedlots and dairy cattle drylots. In enclosed confinement facilities, swine manure is handled as either a slurry or a liquid. There are four principal types of waste management systems used with total and partially enclosed confinement housing in the swine industry: deep pit, pull-plug pit, pit recharge, and flush systems. The deep pit, pull-plug pit, and pit recharge systems are used with slatted floors whereas flush systems can be used with either solid or slatted floors. These practices do not represent all of the practices in use today; however, they are the predominant practices currently used by swine operations.
