Summary:

Flush gutters system have been designed for a facility of 8,000 finishing swine. The manure produced was land applied using a center pivot irrigation system around the surrounding land from a lagoon system that was collecting swine manure and also the rainfall runoff from the land surrounding. The publication presents the design concept of the facility.

No information is given on the amount of water needed per year and also on the nutrients management of the applied diluted slurry and the land surface needed considering the slurry produced. No information also is given on the disposal of the solid removal that probably accumulate at the bottom of the lagoon.
