Anyone who works with livestock knows how difficult it can be to
manage manure properly from an economic, environmental and animal
health standpoint (not necessarily in that order).
28,000 hogs (and their manure) were affected during Hurricane
Floyd.
As reported by the NY Times:
"In the hurricane, feces and
urine soaked the terrain and flowed into rivers from the
overburdened waste pits the industry calls lagoons. The storm
killed more than two million turkeys, chickens and livestock in the
region, and waste from the farms is expected to keep leaching into
the water supply until next spring."
That is why the announcement by BHSL about their ability
"to find an economic alternative to land spreading for poultry
manure produced in broiler rearing by developing the technology to
use the manure as a fuel for energy generation on the farm" is
so revolutionary."
