Demonstration of the Performance of a Three-Stage Waste Treatment Technology. Odour Treatment Through Solids Separation with Aerobic and Anaerobic Digestion
Posted in: Environment by admin on | No Comments
The project involved evaluation of a Taiwanese three-stage hog manure treatment technology under Canadian conditions. To do so, a pilot plant treatment system was designed and built. The process involves passing the manure through a solid-liquid separator to remove the larger solids; anaerobic digestion of the liquid fraction; followed by aerobic treatment. The plant did not achieve treatment levels that would permit discharge to surface waters, as is the case in Taiwan. But was very effective for flushing the barn and produced a noticeable improvement in barn air quality. This was likely due to the differences in operational temperature between Taiwan (greater than 25A

PAMI builds tanker truck injector for research and demonstration
Posted in: Prairie Swine Centre by admin on | No Comments
The objective of this project was to develop a liquid manure application system to efficiently supply swine manure research and demonstration sites throughout Saskatchewan. The best option was to develop a truck based system with a vacuum/pressure tank capable of travelling long distances. A 1994 Mack semi-trailer truck with the fifth wheel removed was customized for liquid manure injection for both low and high disturbance plots. The truck injector system was completed in the fall of 2000 and is now used for all swine manure plot research conducted by PAMI in Saskatchewan. Further discussion with Sask Pork is underway regarding expansion of this project to swine manure application demonstrations in addition to research activities.

Bien gérer l’introduction des sujets de remplacement : DU LA PROBLÉMATIQUE SRRP
Posted in: Air Filtration, Pork Insight Articles by admin on September 20, 1999 | No Comments
L’introduction d’animaux de remplacement constitue toujours un risque sanitaire. À cet égard, le virus SRRP représente un défi particulier. En effet, non seulement certaines souches de ce virus peuvent causer des problèmes considérables, mais en plus, ce virus possède des caractéristiques qui en font un agent difficile à contrôler. Donc, une gestion adéquate du virus SRRP, bien que difficile, est essentielle au bon équilibre sanitaire des élevages.
Il est bien évident que les programmes d’introduction de sujetsde remplacement ne doivent pas se limiter au seul virus SRRP mais
doivent aussi prendre en considération les autres agents infectieux importants (Actinobacillus, Mycoplasme, virus GET, etc.). Cependant, en raison de l’espace imparti à ce document, seule la problématique spécifique du virus SRRP sera traitée.
