KSU aerobic swine waste handling system - a progress report

Abstract

At the KSU swine research unit, the aerobic oxidation waste-disposal system continues to function satisfactorily. Though problems and maintenance are minimal, routine observation and maintenance are necessary to prevent development of problems. Odor is not a problem. Waste fluid can be spread on fields any time that soil is not too wet and--regardless of wind direction or humidity conditions--nearby neighbors do not complain. Pigs are performing satisfactorily in all buildings. Flies are easily controlled, suitable sanitation is easily maintained, and working conditions are satisfactory.
