The goal of pork producers is to operate in a sustainable manner that includes among other requirements, environmental soundness, social acceptability and profitability. Gains in efficiencyhave reduced nutrients by-products per pig, but competitive forces have led to specialization, larger farms, and concentrated area of production that have resulted in new opportunities related to nutrient management. Availabel technology uses on-farm processing or storage facilities and manure is applied to the land as an organic fertilizer. Knowledge of nutrient content of soils and crop uptake of nutrients is incorporated into manure application and crp remnoval plans to prevent either runoff or nutrient buildup on land. This is to ensurewater quality protection. Existing systems are adequate but lack flexibability, require effective management may not have been incorporated into older farms, and do not offer obvious solutions to odor concerns. Cost-effective alternatives should address those needs. Advancement in nutrient management procedureswill ikely accelerate the on-going changes in the structure of the swine industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
