Evaluation Summary: Sand-Manure Separation Technology
Bert Bock, consultant to Dairy Management Inc. on nutrient management, agronomy, and greenhouse gas footprints for the Dairy Soil & Water Regeneration (DSWR) project shares insight into the impact of novel manure products as an important part of DSWR’s evaluation of soil health management systems for dairy forage production. While the project is not yet complete, the basic characteristics of these products suggest they may align with the needs of dairy forage systems.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has recently announced the investment of up to $310 million for producer conservation practices across the U.S. through its Regional Conservation Partnership Program. This farmer-first program is focusing on conservation activities in regard to soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat improvements.
Newtrient analyzed liquid manure and recovered sand to quantify nutrient partitioning and evaluate a sand-manure separation system’s performance in terms of both nutrient retention and sand quality. Learn more about the evaluation’s objectives, methodologies, key benefits, challenges, and implications.
