Hog Waste Disposal Management And How Proper To Do This

By Lianne Derocco


One reason that the swine production business has attracted people into this industry is the profitability it gives and with pork being a top-selling meat, there is a definite potential for financial gain. This line of business has its problems though and among other problems that the business can have, the disposal of agricultural waste or hog waste is one of these. These are problems that have effects on people and also the environment, thus there are regulations for these concerns. Huge problems will be faced by the business owners, if the concerns are not properly addressed.

Agricultural waste products and the proper management in the disposal of these have to be faced by the owners. Hog waste including waste water are usually disposed of and contained in lagoons or waste disposal tanks constructed by the farm company. There is a potential problem that the company will face if the waste water from the lagoons leaks and seeps into the water table in the locality. If there are flaws in the waste disposal management and leakages are not checked, this can turn into a disaster for the company.

An efficient waste management method has to be in place, including solutions for agricultural waste and the disposal of waste products. There has to be a good system in the waste management methods used, not only in the proper disposal of hog waste but also in the collection and storage of waste water and swine waste in the lagoons. This is an important component in the whole swine production business.

Sludge forms in the lagoons, and there are several reasons why these form in the manure tanks and lagoons. If there is inadequate agitation of the hog waste and waste water, sludge can form, especially if this happens over a long period of time. In the lagoons, sludge form from the waste materials and this can include the excess and uneaten feeds that go with the waste. Sludge removal is very important, and not only for these reasons. Foul odor can be emitted and released to the environment which is not good, and this comes from the sludge and crust formed.

There has to be swine waste management methods that have to be effective and the removal and disposal of waste water and manure have to be efficiently done and stored in the lagoons and pits. This can be done, the collection and storage of manure and waste water, but treatments have to be done also in order to lessen the environmental hazardous effects. Biological treatments can be done and these are with expected good results also.

Lagoon Activator and AgraSphere are products for the biological treatment of waste water and manure in the waste lagoons and pits. The lagoon Activator is a concentrated blend of natural bacteria and enzymes that will effectively establish a balanced environment in the lagoons. This is best when used together with AgraSphere, a safe and natural biodegradable product that will prevent and reduce sludge and crust formation in the lagoons. It is a product that is ready to use and just thrown around the pits without no need for mixing. It is a time-release product, thus will just work on its own in the pits.
