Innovation in Swine Manure Management

Sludge accumulation is a challenge facing swine producers that use anaerobic lagoons for manure management. In North Carolina, there is a growing need for economic technologies to process and export sludge. This video highlights innovative research and development in North Carolina to adopt economic drying systems to help export lagoon sludge as fertilizer products. These systems rely on greenhouses or high-tunnels to facilitate drying without external heat sources.
