hey said it was a crappy idea. Some even used a less benign adjective.

It stinks, they said. Reeks, even.

But other factions said the idea would hold water. They insisted that, properly handled, it could be spread among interested parties. It could be broken down and provide nutrition to fertile brains.

OK, enough with the manure-related word play.

You have in your hands an entire issue dedicated to manure — what it contains, what it does, where it goes and how.

Manure is a fact of life in agriculture. For some, it presents a problem and for others an opportunity. In either case, it must be dealt with, and as you will find in coming pages, there are beneficial, creative and productive ways to do it.

Incorporating manure into adjacent fields was no problem when hogs, dairy, poultry, beef, sheep and other livestock were raised on small farms scattered around the country.

However, an economic ring was formed around each farm as the livestock sector intensified and animal numbers became concentrated. Hauling manure beyond a certain radius became economically prohibitive, regardless of animal source or

manure form.

Solutions to that issue required creativity, and farmers met the challenge.

Manure is composted. It is stored in piles and lagoons. It is dried, fermented, squashed, hauled, spread, filtered, shaken and stirred.

There is something about manure that also invites humour. It is often the butt of jokes and euphemisms. Culture would have it that manure and its euphemistic counterparts can be spoken, spewn and shot — and that’s just for starters.

Further to the upside, manure is a great fertilizer, a diagnostic tool and feedstock for biofuel production.

Further to the downside, it can be overly plentiful, odiferous and even deadly in its contents.

Inside, you will find a pile of manure stories ripe for reading. They won’t be the Producer’s last words on the subject because, as we all know, manure happens.

It happens a lot. And that isn’t all bad.

Special thanks go to Scott Dick and Cliff Loewen of Agra-Gold Consulting, whose European travels on behalf of the Manitoba livestock manure management initiative yielded additional material on technology across the pond.

Idaho cowboy poet Mark Seeley holds manure in high regard, as explained in his poem at right. It is particularly apt considering our cover photo, taken in exactly the type of landscape he describes.

Though many producers may not share his ethereal view of this earthly and earthy compound, they will likely appreciate a man who can write poetry about it.

We at The Western Producer hope you find this issue informative and useful.

Spread it around.

Manure

By Mark Seeley I hope there’s manure in Heaven I know that sounds a bit strange.

But some folks might agree with me If I’m given the chance to explain.

Now by outward appearance, manure Is a smelly goo, no doubt.

But think about what went into that cow Before that manure came out.

That cow might have grazed in a pasture Filled with clover and grass green and lush And that sweet smelling pasture on which that cow dined Was transformed to this foul smelling mush.

Or maybe she dined with a range herd On a wide open prairie somewhere Making meals of scattered bunchgrass And leaving a pile here and there.

That cow might have grazed in the mountains Beneath pine trees that whisper and sigh And the grass and wildflowers from meadows Are contained in that cow’s special pie.

So I hope there’s manure in Heaven’ ’Cause that means there’ll be cows when we die And pastures and prairies and meadows Beneath mountains that reach toward the sky.

What makes manure so stinky?

There are more than 150 chemicals that give manure its distinctive smell, but only a few make it truly offensive

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

O

f all the smells in the world, from egg salad to wet dog, there is one that Bryan Woodbury cannot stand.

“When I walk through a store and I come across potpourri, I immediately get a headache and I hold my breath,” said Woodbur y, a U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist who knows a thing or two about stinky scents.

Woodbury, an agricultural engineer, works for the USDA in Clay Center, Nebraska, and specializes in the smell of cattle manure.

Studying manure odour may seem odd or trivial, but Nebraska has more cattle on feed than any state in the U.S. Some of those feedlots are near towns and close to people who detest the smell of manure. When citizens don’t like something politicians usually hear about it, which puts public pressure on feedlot owners and the livestock industry.

Woodbury and his USDA colleague John Gilley have studied ways to reduce the odours associated with cattle manure. As part of their research, they conducted a smell study to identify the chemical compounds responsible for the distinctive odours in cattle manure.

After taking hundreds of air samples, in close proximity to the cattle excrement, Woodbury and Gilley determined that three compounds cause two-thirds of all the odours in the manure.

Two of the chemicals are volatile fatty acids: isolaveric acid and butyric acid.

Woodbury said a volatile fatty acid is a chemical that wants to move from the liquid to gas phase.

“Vinegar. Acetic acid. That would be a volatile fatty acid,” he said, adding butyric acid has an unforgettable smell. “I’m looking for a poetic way to put this… it’s what you would smell in vomit. Smelling that can cause a gag reflex.”

The third most common chemical in cattle manure odours is something called 4-methylphenol, an aromatic compound.

Brandon Gilroyed, a University of Guelph, Ont., assistant professor who specializes in anaerobic digestion and biofuel research, said dozens of other chemicals can be found in manure odour.

“I think it’s been shown there are over 150,” he said, adding the chemicals include recognizable

compounds like ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulfide.

Gilroyed said microbes are to blame for most smells.

“All of those (chemicals) are produced by microbes… feeding on what… the cow or pig didn’t eat,” he said from his Ridgetown, Ont. office.

“You get these anaerobic conditions and you get all these things which are basically fermentation products.”

The three factors Gilroyed said when it comes to manure, three factors determine the severity of the stink: • diet • animal’s digestion process • method of storage

Woodbury, who has studied how dried distillers grains affect cattle manure odours, agreed diet is critical. He said manure odour from grass-fed cattle is distinct from cornfed cattle manure, which is different from the manure smell linked to dried distillers grains.

When it comes to storage, an airless and wet environment produces the most putrid manure.

“The longer you have anaerobic conditions, the smellier that manure is going to be,” Gilroyed said. “If you don’t clean out your lagoons very often… when you do get around to

spreading that, it’s going to be very, very smelly.”

As manure gets drier and the microbes become less active, it reduces the foulness of the manure.

“Dry feedlot surfaces vs. wet feedlot surfaces, the difference is night and day,” said Woodbury, who has built up a lifetime of immunity to manure odours.

“I grew up on a ranch (in Montana)… I don’t find it terribly offensive,” he said.

“Unless it really gets wet and sits around a long time. Some of that stuff can be pretty strong, even by my standards.”

Gilroyed said what smells and what doesn’t is more complicated than the chemicals within the odour. There is also a psychological component because smell is closely associated with memory.

“Odours are perception.

And those are hard to nail down, as to this one is offensive and that one isn’t offensive,” he said.

“Most of our smell responses are learned.

They’re tied to memory. So when you first come out of the womb, you don’t necessarily find something offensive… that an adult would find offensive.”

SENSE OF SMELL: DOGS COMPARED TO HUMANS • Humans have approximately five to six million olfactory receptors or smell receptors, which can detect odour molecules.

• Dogs have 125 million to 300 million olfactory receptors, depending on the breed.

• Several studies and anecdotes have documented the incredible acuteness of the sense of smell in dogs.

• Scientists have estimated that dogs can detect odours at concentrations in parts per trillion. In the often-used Olympic-sized swimming pool comparison, some dogs can detect a teaspoon of sugar in the volume of water needed to fill two Olympic sized pools.

• A Labrador Retriever trained in scent detection smelled the stool samples of people who possibly had colon cancer. The dog correctly diagnosed the presence of cancer cells 97 percent of the time.

• In one case in the U.S., a drug sniffing dog detected a plastic container filled with marijuana, submerged within a tank of gasoline.

Been there, dung that

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

W

hat if ranchers could find a way to increase grazing, recycle nitrogen, reduce the number of pest flies, increase forage yield, improve soil water retention and ground aeration, lower animal disease rates and beautify landscapes?

What would such combined services be worth?

Regardless of the number, the dung beetle does it all and does it for free.

There are 300 species of dung breeding insects in Canada, and dung beetles are among them, said entomologist Kevin Floate of Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge.

It’s a case of been there, dung that for the beetles.

They break down cow patties so grass can grow again, return nutrients to soil and reduce habitat for flies bothersome to cattle.

Floate said dung beetles can make short work of manure, depending on the type of beetle and environmental conditions.

“I have seen them rip apart horse dung in a matter of a few days,” he said.

“When you get literally 2,000 or 3,000 beetles, even though they’re pretty small, just that activity … it essentially eliminates (manure) as a negative force in the pasture within a week.”

Adult dung beetles feed on bacteria in manure. Sieve-like mouthparts allow them to squeeze the material and extract micronutrients. Thus fortified, the beetles lay eggs and the larva feed on plant fibre within the manure.

Similar to a cow’s rumen, dung beetle larva have expanded guts that produce enzymes for digesting fibre.

“A dung beetle larva may eat their own weight every day in plant fibre just to get enough nutrients to develop,” said Floate.

Most dung beetles overwinter as adults, reappear and lay their eggs in spring. Larva feed on manure through mid-summer before emerging as adults in fall.

There are some native species of dung beetle, but most species in Canada came from Europe during settlement and subsequent cattle import and movement.

They arrived ready to start work.

“All the European species that we see in cattle dung are sort of generalists with dung of a big round pie: bison dung, cattle dung,” he said.

“We do have specialists in the sense that some dung beetles have a strong preference for maybe horse dung, but you also find them in cattle dung, or vice versa.”

Floate and his colleagues have surveyed dung beetles and researched the results of their activity. Cow pies in

pastures without dung beetles become virtual hockey pucks that can potentially remain intact for years.

“But if you have insect activity, the insects themselves are tunneling, they’re feeding, they’re breaking up the manure,” he said.

“And by breaking up the crust, they’re allowing water to get in, they’re allowing plants better access from beneath.”

Insect presence attracts birds, which play their own role in manure redistribution.

Floate said he occasionally gets concerned inquiries about manure that fails to break down. His first question is, “when was the manure deposited?”

Insects can’t colonize manure in winter, so those cow pies will likely be around longer than those dropped in spring.

“Where insect activity is most important is probably shortly after turnout, so May, June, maybe early July,” he said.

“That’s when the dung beetles are actively laying eggs, tunneling, feeding, and dung beetle larva are developing and feeding.”

Beetle activity lulls in the peak of summer, but many other beneficial flies, fly parasites, beetles and mites also enjoy a good pie.

Who doesn’t?

Floate tells of mites that ride on flies

and dung beetles “like passengers on a bus. The dung beetle is the bus. When it arrives at a fresh cow pie, the tiny little mites hop off.”

However, that’s not the end of the trip.

The mites feed until new dung beetles develop from larva.

“The mites will line up and wait for the new dung beetle adult to leave, sort of like passengers waiting at a bus stop… It’s pretty amazing, actually.”

The caveat on this insect activity comes in the form of cattle insecticides. Products applied to cattle to control parasites and pest flies can be passed in manure and limit subsequent insect activity.

The scope of those effects depends on the product and when it was applied.

Insecticides can do the job if the goal is to kill pest flies, but the choices are different if the focus is on preserving dung beetles and other beneficial insects.

“In our studies, we have shown several times that if you apply the recommended dose of a certain product to cows in the spring, there’s enough residue in the fall, in fresh manure being deposited by that animal, to suppress at least the development of some insects,” Floate said.

“Whether that’s good, whether that’s bad, it’s a judgment call.”

Ivermectin, the most studied cattleapplied insecticide, is commonly used in fall.

WHAT’S INSIDE Living things found in cattle dung in North America: • • • • • •

fungi nematodes earthworms flies wasps beetles

• • • • • •

centipedes wood lice millipedes harvestmen spiders earwigs

• • • •

springtails ants bacteria (and many, many more)

And where do they live?

• Adult bovines in pasture deposit about 10 pats per animal per day, which is about 22 kilograms of manure each, per day.

Is it going to storm? Check for flying beetles An impending cold snap is preceded by a flight of dung beetles

The absence of insects in winter reduces the impact, and manure residue is gone by the time cattle are turned out in spring.

Treatment in spring is a different story, and probably the worst case scenario for dung beetles, Floate said.

Research has found reduced insect activity in manure for up to 12 weeks after insecticide application.

Dung beetles find manure by following an odour plume, which they detect through sensors in their antennae.

They are efficient flyers and will travel for more than a kilometre if the potential meal smells good.

There are three types: dwellers, tunnellers and rollers.

Most species in Alberta are dwellers.

They are attracted to fresh cow pies, where they eat bacteria and lay their eggs.

As the name implies, tunnellers will bur y bits of manure five to 20 centimetres below the surface, where the material will feed the larva.

Rollers take a piece of manure and push it away from competitors. Then they bury it in a small ball, inside which they’ve laid an egg. When the larva emerge, their meal is ready.

Floate said dung beetles are not pests “in any serious sense,” although some farmers suspect that the larva from one dung beetle species feeds on crops where manure has been spread.

He is not yet convinced they cause damage worthy of any control efforts because damage is usually spotty.

Floate has researched a number of different insects, ranging from wheat blossom midge to livestock pest flies.

And dung beetles, of course.

The work continues to fascinate and he likes to share his interest, though he has a squirm-inducing way of putting it.

“One of the greatest pleasures I get is getting out of my office, away from my desk, sticking my hand in cow dung and sharing this passion with other people.”

t’s a lot of work for one insect species, but the dung beetle aphodius distinctus is thought by some to be a weather forecaster as well as a manure handler.

H.L. Seamans of the Dominion Entomological Laboratory in Lethbridge studied flights of the dung beetle in the early 1920s. In a 1934 paper published in a report to the Quebec Society for the Protection of Plants, he noted a correlation between beetle flights and the weather that followed those flights.

“The first flight in the spring is usually followed by a cold period with snow, but this cold period is the last one before spring growing conditions arrive,” wrote Seamans.

“This cold period may be from one week to a month long, but it seldom is as severe cold as that previous to the flight. Only once has the minimum temperature dropped below zero after a spring flight of Aphodius, and that was in 1926 when there were two spring flights.”

Seamans also concluded that the autumn flight of the beetle immediately preceded the first snow or severe frost, suggesting Aphodius successfully forecast the true end of seasonal growing conditions.

“Gardeners and growers of root crops in the Lethbridge district are beginning to govern their activities by the beetle flights,” Seamans wrote.

Agriculture Canada entomologist Kevin Floate acknowledged the connection between beetle activity and weather, although he is not convinced that Aphodius is as reliable as Seamans suggested in his paper 80 years ago.

“It’s certainly true that these clouds (of flying dung beetles) occur in the late season,” said Floate, who has researched the species.

“When we get hard frost, the big flights stop. If it’s a light frost, they might be flying then but if you get a light one, you will get a hard frost shortly after.”

Seamans documented weather conditions and beetle flights over several years, as recorded with hand-drawn graphs within his paper. He concluded that beetle flights were important indicators of when to expect seasonal insect activity to begin or end.

He also noted that some southern Albertans ignored dung beetle activity to their detriment.

One example occurred in the fall of 1930.

“The flight occurred in the midst of very warm weather and was ignored. One or two gardeners dug their gladioli bulbs before the snow, which arrived two days later.”

Unfortunately, many gardeners ignored the warning provided by Aphodius and its second flight, said Seamans.

“The result was that over 80 percent of the gladioli bulbs in Lethbridge were frozen by the cold period which followed and many tons of potatoes which were left too long were frozen in the ground.” @barb.glen@producer.com

SAMPLING

There’s gold in those, er, brown hills Manure-based fertilizer a cost-effective solution, but lab testing for nutrient makeup essential

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

N

ot all animal manure is created equal when it comes to nutrient values, says a nutrient management specialist.

Trevor Wallace of Alberta Agriculture said producers can increase the amount of value they obtain from manure by knowing more about the resource, whether they use it as a nutrient source or soil conditioner.

Value may be in the form of improved crop yield, reduced fertilizer requirements or better soil quality.

“To make the best nutrient management decision, you should know the moisture and nutrient content of the manure, soil nutrient and organic matter levels of the field and the crop’s fertility requirements,” Wallace said.

“This information will help you determine how, when and where the manure will be best utilized to get the most benefit from the available resources.”

Manure is a mixture of water, organic matter, mineral matter, microbes, nutrients and other chemicals. It is important to understand its composition, whether it be in solid or liquid form.

Manure nutrient composition varies widely between farms. Differences in animal type, age, diet, bedding materials, storage and handling will affect its characteristics.

Wallace said book values may not reflect the nutrient composition of individual farms, and sampling and lab analysis is the only way to get reliable nutrient content data. Several facilities on the Prairies can do this work.

He said nutrient content can vary within a solid manure pile, which can be addressed by using proper sampling procedures.

The nutrient content of liquid manure can also vary because of solids settling over time.

Proper sampling procedures analyzed over three to five years should provide adequate information to develop reliable estimates of average manure nutrient content for an individual operation.

“As long as they don’t have any significant changes in the system with their livestock or feeding type, it shouldn’t change,” he said.

Wallace said some producers previously viewed manure as a waste product. However, rising production costs and the high cost of commercial fertilizers have encouraged farmers to be more deliberate with their manure application and make more informed decisions.

“We were putting it out there and getting good yields, but now we’re being far more tactical with what we do,” he said.

“In the last six years, with the price of fertilizer, the phone rang off the hook when the price of phosphorus went up to a buck something a pound. I get more and more phone calls all the time, helping to calculate rates and what’s its value. It’s far more presence of mind than it used to be.”

However, other than feedlots, many producers who deal with solids are not sampling as much as those who use liquids. Thirty to 40 percent of producers who handle liquids are using lab services, while 10 percent or less are taking samples of solids.

Wallace said many are using book values of provincial nutrient content averages for manure.

“Some guys are putting it right on and sort of have a feel for it based on crop yield,” he said.

“Others are using last year’s crop as their metric for deciding this year’s manure application rate. It’s just two different ways of looking at it.”

Wallace said it’s important to remember that a feeding program can influence nutrient content.

“Seventy to 90 percent of the nutrients come out the back end, depending on the nutrient,” he said.

“If you look at any of the animals in high-end production, they’re given high protein, high nutritious feed. A lot of that ends up being high nitrogen manure. An animal that needs seven percent protein to live, and we feed them 12, that five percent is not going to make them live better.… It’s going to come out the back end.”

Calculators and spreadsheets are available online to help producers determine where to put manure so it has the best value. More calculators are being developed as apps.

These programs are designed to allow farmers, ranchers and producers to measure the amount of manure that is spread, calculate its nutrient content, account for transportation and estimate the amount of money saved by using manure rather than traditional chemical nutrients.

“You put your manure sample in and it will tell you how much nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium you’re putting on based on a rate you put in,” he said.

Nutrient management handbooks and planning guides are also available. william.dekay@producer.com

There might be money to be made in manure, but it will cost you to transport it

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It doesn’t pay to haul manure far, says an expert.

Research conducted at the University of Saskatchewan shows that the break-even point for transporting

nature’s fertilizer is less than 10 kilometres.

The findings were based on three years of field trials with liquid swine and solid cattle manure applied to fields near Humboldt, Sask.

“Our economic hauling distance for our liquid swine manure was

around eight km from the site of production, and for our cattle manure it was around three km,” said Jeff Schoenau, professor of soil science at the university.

The study is 10 years old, but the findings likely hold true today, he said.

The value of the manure, calculated by multiplying the yield increase resulting from the manure application by the price of crops grown on the land, would likely be higher because prices have risen.

However, so would the handling and application costs, which were

$30 per acre for liquid manure and $20 to $30 per acre for solid manure.

The problem is that manure contains lower concentrations of key nutrients than synthetic fertilizers.

New fertilizer restrictions in Netherlands strain shippers Can Canadian livestock producers learn any lessons from their European cousins when it comes to transporting waste?

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

H

alf the phosphorus pentoxide generated by livestock manure in the Netherlands must be exported out of the country beginning in January.

The country’s small, low-lying land base cannot accept more phosphorus pentoxide-laden manure.

The Netherlands has more than 500 specialty manure transport semitrucks that are designed to move raw and processed manure.

They serve a law which, since last year, required that 10 percent of the livestock-generated phosphorus pentoxide be removed from the country.

There’s little doubt that the number of manure transports will soar in 2015.

Canada, on the other hand, has millions of unused acres where manure could go, so it’s hard to imagine a similarity between the two countries in terms of manure disposal.

However, Canada has scattered pockets of land-locked, highly productive, intensively managed livestock enterprises where manure disposal has long been a problem.

Manure trucking has already become an issue in these areas in terms of degradation of the road system, public safety and the economic radius of how far from the farm a trucker can afford to haul.

The Netherlands’ export requirements are seen as that country’s answer to the problem.

This puts the onus on the transportation industry because trucks are the only practical way to move that much manure.

Pipelines and rail lines have definite start and stop spots, while trucks are flexible when it comes to picking up and dropping off.

The manure transport business developed because of a logistical gap between livestock producers who wanted manure gone from their farm and custom applicators who wanted the manure delivered on time to precise locations.

The applicators seized the business opportunity and became manure brokers, who contracted with livestock producers to haul manure away at a certain price. The applicators then contracted with cash crop farmers who wanted manure spread on their land on a specific date.

The government’s manure export legislation also mandated that all

trucks carrying manure as part of the compliance program must be es sampled and their travel routes ed charted using a GPS-equipped mtamper-proof manure auto-sampler. ks The device takes samples, tracks nd the trailer to the drop-off point and urecords all fills and dumps.

POLICY

RULES, REGULATIONS & R How to navigate manure management policies

BY KAREN BRIERE |

ALBERTA

SASKATCHEWAN

T

here are two key things Vince Murray wants Alberta livestock producers to remember about manure management: do soil tests and keep records.

Murray, an Agricultural Operation Practices Act engineer with Alberta Agriculture, said Alberta’s legislation governs intensive livestock operations and those who handle 500 tonnes of manure a year.

He said the operation and the handler might not be the same person, so it’s critical that all involved know the rules.

The province began regulating ILOs in 2002 after the booming meat industries led to widespread growth.

“The municipalities at that time had jurisdiction over where these went and what rules they had to follow,” Murray said. “There were issues with the industry trying to develop. They were unsure because we had over 60 sets of rules in the province.”

Other factors were the emergence of organizations fighting against ILOs and rural-urban conflicts. The province stepped in and required new or expanding operations to have a permit as of Jan. 1, 2002.

The Natural Resources Conservation Board, an arm’s-length board already dealing with non-energy development, was appointed to regulate the new legislation.

Murray said the critical points of the law are that anyone handling more than 500 tonnes of manure, which includes the straw, bedding material or anything that has come in contact with manure, must keep records and apply the manure according to the regulations.

“There’s setbacks from neighbours and setbacks from water courses based on slope, and then we have nitrogen and salinity limits,” he said.

Producers don’t have to submit their records to the NRCB, but they must have them available if an inspector asks to see them. The record should include who handled the manure and where and when it was applied.

“Essentially, this means recording how much manure was applied to meet crop needs based on soil tests,” Alberta Agriculture extension specialist Deanne Madsen said in a mid-November release.

“Repeat applications of manure at rates exceeding crop needs can reduce the soil’s ability to remain at peak productivity over the longterm, as well as increase the chance of nutrients being lost to surface water and groundwater.”

The levels of nitrogen that can be applied depend on soil type and whether the land is irrigated.

The regulations state that manure can’t be applied to soil that has salinity greater than four deciSiemen per metre from the surface to a 15 centimetre depth. Manure also can’t be applied at levels that increase salinity by more than one deciSiemen per metre.

Manure applied to cultivated land must be incorporated within 48 hours unless the applicator has obtained a permit for alternate arrangements.

Spreading on snow could be one of those exemptions.

“Here, the way the rules work is that if you have more than nine months of storage you can only spread on snow if you get permission from the NRCB prior to doing the application,” Murray said. “You need to have a reason why you have to spread on snow.”

Some older dairy barns in particular had only enough storage for a couple of months and had to spread manure year-round.

Technically, those operations could still do that without asking first, as long as they don’t cause environmental risk.

Cow-calf operations that use practices such as bale grazing are exempt because the Agricultural Operation Practices Act governs ILOs. “If your cattle are spread out across the field and you don’t have to do anything with their manure other than maybe harrow it in or something before next growing season, that doesn’t count,” Murray said.

“We still have a lot of cattle operations that haven’t been through the NRCB permitting process because they existed before 2002 and they haven’t grown or expanded.”

He said neighbours of ILOs generally know the rules and will complain to the NRCB if necessary.

IT’S WEIGHT, NOT VOLUME Alberta bases its legislation on handlers of 500 tonnes of manure. Examples below show the number of animals that would produce that much in one year. Dairy cow figures include wash water. Feeder hog figures are based on fresh liquid manure. Manure from cattle is usually hauled at lower moisture content. That means it takes more animals to produce 500 tonnes by weight.

askatchewan legislation and regulations surrounding manure management come down to one basic principle: water protection.

Andy Jansen, agricultural operations manager at the provincial agriculture ministry, said the rules are results-based rather than prescriptive.

“You need to plan to use manure so that it doesn’t contaminate water and tell us the details of that plan,” he said.

The province’s first legislation requiring proper manure storage and management was passed in 1971.

The Agricultural Operations Act was established in 1996, partly to better address intensive livestock operations.

That’s where things get a bit murky.

Jansen said the legislation defines an intensive livestock operation as the confinement of one animal unit to less than 4,000 sq, feet.

“So therefore, by definition, a horse on an acreage confined to less than 4,000 sq. feet would be an intensive livestock operation,” he observed.

Intensive operations such as dairies, hog barns, feedlots and poultry barns will clearly have stocking densities that fit into the definition.

However, Jansen said the legislation uses only stocking density, which has forced the ministry to also establish size criteria — an operation with 300 animal units or more — when determining which operations need approval to operate.

There are two other risk-based criteria of note.

“If you’re 20 animal units or more, 20 to 300 essentially, then you do need approval if you’re within 1,000 feet of a water course or you’re within 100 feet of a well that’s not part of the operation.”

These restrictions were put in place because some dairy and poultry operations are located in areas that are more rural residential and have closer neighbours. It also helps if land has been subdivided and someone other than the ILO operator owns the house, Jansen said.

These factors mean some operations that people might consider intensive actually don’t need approval.

“For example, half of the dairy operations don’t need approval under our legislation because they’re under 300 animal units and they don’t meet the other two criteria,” Jansen said.

Cow-calf herds might fall under the legislation, depending on how they operate. Many herds would have more than 300 animal units, but few operate intensively yearround.

Jansen said the catch would be wintering sites or calving sites that might meet the definitions.

Saskatchewan’s rules don’t specifically prohibit spreading manure in winter.

Jansen said most producers hire custom applicators, and they won’t go out in winter. Smaller operators with limited storage capacity might be in a tougher situation.

established a re-inspection policy that targets higher-risk operations and is based on size.

“Our intent is to get back to the larger operations in five years or less,” he said.

The ministry is reviewing what constitutes risk factors other than size.

“What we’re hoping to do is be a little more inclusive in our re-

Complaints do come in about w inter stockpiles and w inter spreading.

The Agricultural Operations Review Board may review and mediate disputes, but Jansen said the preferred approach is to work with operations to resolve problems and put appropriate plans in place.

Approvals could be cancelled, but he said that’s difficult to do when barns are full of live animals.

Jansen said the ministry does

inspections, but targets the ones it thinks are much higher risk from a water protection point of view.

“That being said, most of them should be low risk if they’re following their plans.”

Jansen said all provinces offer programs and funding under Growing Forward 2 to help producers decrease their environmental footprints.

anitoba livestock producers face stricter requirements than their prairie counterparts when it comes to manure management.

They must file manure management plans with the province, including soil tests and manure analysis, even before they can even begin to spread manure.

The plans must be filed annually,

according to the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulations. “They include things like the details on how much manure is produced, where it’s going to be spread and they actually take soil samples and send us soil sample reports,� said Bryce Wood, an environment officer at Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship’s livestock program. “They’re required to do that every year for every field they’re spreading on.�

• SASKATCHEWAN developed a flowchart to help producers decide if they need approval. There are also charts to help define what constitutes an animal unit. Visit bit.ly/16ggyeI to learn more.

Approved plans are necessary for producers with 300 animal units or more and for some that are smaller than that, depending on factors such as proximity to water.

Wood said government employees review the plans, mainly for nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the soil, to determine if the selected sites are suitable for manure application.

The manure is also analyzed for nitrogen and phosphorus content. “We just look at the balance of nutrients going on the field in manure versus what nutrients are required by the crop,� Wood said. “Is it a suitable field? Does the application rate pencil out?�

Manure application rates in Manitoba are based on the livestock waste unit concept from the 1960s, which was that corn required 68 to 77 kilograms of nitrogen per acre to maximize production. The livestock waste unit was the number of animals required to produce 73 kg of nitrogen each year and supply the crop’s needs. The term was changed to animal unit in the 1990s.

About 500 plans are submitted to the Manitoba government each year, some of them by consultants hired to do the work, and Wood said staff randomly audit 10 percent a year. This includes taking more soil tests to make sure nitrogen and phosphorus levels are within limits.

He said producer compliance is good. “The real key of our regulations is to ensure responsible management of manure and mortalities. That’s what we’re trying to achieve with this.�

Manitoba also has strict winter spreading regulations, which prohibits the spread between Nov. 10 and April 10.

Larger operators have not been able to do so for many years, but even smaller farmers are now bound by this rule. “There are provisions for emergency spreading,� Wood said. “Let’s say their lagoon is damaged or is going to overflow and they need to spread. They can apply to our depar tment for an emergenc y authorization and we may grant that.

It’s rare.�

The province has offered programs to help producers build more storage to avoid the possibility of an emergency. Wood said producers are aware of the rule and typically spread in fall and spring to make sure they don’t get caught without enough storage.

There are also situations when weather conditions might allow spreading within that window. For example, manure could still be applied if there is no snow and the soil is not frozen by Nov. 10.

Regional or provincial variances can be issued to permit this activity.

Wood also said commercial fertilizer application, regulated by the Nutrient Management Act, is also prohibited during the five-month period.

Custom applicators in Manitoba must be licensed through the provincial agriculture department.

Wood said farmers must still follow regulatory provisions such as the setbacks from water, nutrient limits and storage, even if they don’t have to file manure management plans.

Researcher perfects compost recipe Manure composting garners attention for its nutrient value, lower cost

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — Frank Larney notices dry material swirling in the wind when he climbs on top of a fully cured compost pile at Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre.

“One of the things we learned is this stuff will blow,” he said.

After researching the art and science of composting for 20 years, he and other researchers at the research facility have perfected the recipe method.

They have also learned that any organic material can be decomposed into a rich humus-like material.

Most of their work calculates compost’s benefits as a soil amendment.

The scientists at Lethbridge were enlisted to find ways to deal with

the manure from the millions of animals that are raised each year in the area’s feedlots. The goals were to protect the public and environment from pungent odours and contaminated runoff and to find ways to add value to what many regarded as a waste product.

A local farmer who was experimenting with composted manure lent the centre some of his equipment in 1995 to start the early work.

“There wasn’t a lot of interest in it then. People thought it was too expensive,” said Larney, a specialist in composting and soil reclamation.

Adding manure and compost to soil has been around as long as people have farmed, but in recent years composting has gained some cachet, especially among urban gardeners.

“If you mention manure, they run a mile from you. If you say compost,

everybody loves you,” said Larney.

His colleague, soil scientist Jim Miller, agreed.

“When you think about the number of urban people who are composting in their backyards with small portable units and the number of agriculture producers composting, I bet the ratio is a lot higher for urban people,” said Miller.

Prairie soil could benefit from more manure or compost because it adds body to the soil and provides valuable plant nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.

“When you think of all the land in Alberta, six or seven percent gets manure put on it each year,” Larney said.

“So 93 percent of the cropland doesn’t see manure in a year.

Calgary project recycles construction waste materials

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — Composting is an environmentally creative way to dispose of undesirable waste.

Ten to 15 percent of construction waste in Alberta is recycled, and the rest is dumped into over-burdened landfills.

A project organized by the City of Calgary and Agriculture Canada is composting construction waste such as drywall and lumber.

The wood is chipped and mixed at a rate of four parts manure to one part chips. The product is good enough to spread on farmland, said lead re-

searcher Xiying Hao of Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre.

The project is in the early stages, but researchers found that the final product appears to contain higher levels of calcium sulfate because of the drywall.

“The sulfur comes in higher so if you have a sandy soil that needs sulfur, this compost is probably better,” she said.

She is also working with researcher Frank Larney to analyze how antibiotics break down in compost.

Larney said there is a lot of concern that antimicrobial resistance could be transferred through the antibiot-

ics that are fed to cattle when their manure is spread on the land.

Researchers have learned that some medications affect the natural microbes that are needed to break down organic material.

“The soil is pretty resilient, but we have seen some instances where the presence of antibiotics can inhibit some of the composting process,” said Larney.

“Heat is the great indicator. When the windrows are heating up, it shows the microbes are doing their thing. In some windrows where we have had antibiotics present, they are slowing down the microbial activity.”

Common products such as tetracycline appear to degrade in the soil.

“Some of the antibiotics don’t have much effect,” said Hao. “It is another bonus of composting.”

A project organized by Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency found that prions responsible for brain diseases such as BSE are reduced by 90 percent during composting. However, they are not completely inactivated because of the variability in compost conditions and microbial activity.

The research concluded that it was highly unlikely livestock would be exposed to enough prions to develop BSE if the compost was spread on farmland.

This means composting is a viable method for the controlled disposal of specified risk material in Canada. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

However, they are not completely inactivated because of the variability in compost conditions and microbial activity.

COMPOSTING 101 What is composting?

• Composting is a natural biological process, carried out under controlled conditions, which converts organic material into a stable humus-like product called compost.

During the composting process, various micro-organisms, including bacteria and fungi, break down organic material into simpler substances. Composting is an aerobic process, meaning the micro-organisms require oxygen to do their work. The micro-organisms consume oxygen while feeding on the organic matter and in the process generate carbon dioxide.

How long does the composting process take?

• A number of factors are important in controlling the composting process and the time that the process takes.

These factors include temperature, moisture, oxygen, particle size, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of the waste and the degree of mixing or turning involved. In general, the more actively these factors are controlled, the faster the process.

• The length of the process also depends on the degree of decomposition desired in the finished product. Typically, an immature compost can be produced in about a month, while a mature compost may be allowed to cure for six months to a year.

Is compost a fertilizer?

• Compost can contain varying amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, the concentrations of these nutrients in compost are usually lower than those found in common fertilizers.

• Compost is more properly described as a soil amendment or soil conditioner, which returns valuable organic material to the soil. In addition, compost benefits the soil by improving soil structure, aeration and water retention.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “So you are hoping that seven percent that gets it in one year isn’t the same seven percent that gets it the next year.”

He estimates that five to 10 percent of the manure that generated in southern Alberta is composted.

The benefits of composting are varied. As well, producers need to differentiate between the real thing and stockpiled manure that was allowed to rot.

Composting benefits the environment because manure nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are converted to more stable forms and are less likely to reach groundwater or move in surface runoff.

Compost can be stored until land application conditions are suitable, and it can be transported more eco-

nomically than fresh manure, which contains 75 percent water.

“We haven’t sold that message to producers as well as we could have partly because there hasn’t been a lot of work done on the transport economics, ” said Miller.

Farmers will need more acres for spreading if future environmental regulations switch to a phosphorus based measure for land application instead of a nitrogen based measure.

The economics of composting will be attractive if that happens because compost can be hauled farther than raw manure.

Scientists have found that a long windrow piled one to two metres high by three to four metres wide is ideal for large, outdoor composting projects.

Regularly turning the pile for six

months, followed by a curing period, should produce a crumbly humus-like material that is free of weed seeds, diseases and odour while retaining valuable plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

Composting occurs when microbes digest the organic material. The digestion creates heat that can reach temperatures greater than 65 C for an extended period of time. It effectively kills weed seeds, bacteria, parasites and plant diseases.

That level of prolonged heat also makes winter composting feasible because there are fewer nitrogen emissions and the moisture content is retained.

“The losses are a lot lower with over-winter composting. If you compost in July, your evaporation rates can be so high, you can dry it out too

fast, and you end up with dried manure rather than finished compost,” said Larney.

“It will cook away all winter long.

You can see the steam coming off.”

Compost is not a fertilizer, but it does have long-term benefits for soil.

Nutrient levels can be variable.

The best management practice is to test the soil to see what properties are present for plant growth. The application rate should then be calculated when adding compost, manure and commercial fertilizer.

Nutrients can be lost during the composting process, so researchers conducted field trials to measure how much nitrogen and phosphorus is released to plants compared with fresh manure and fertilizer applied to soil.

Manure and compost can also add much-needed carbon to the soil.

However, Miller said the soil aggregates enriched with compost could crumble more easily and be subject to more erosion.

“It still has physical effects on the soil because that carbon is actually improving certain physical properties but not others,” he said.

“The generality that it improves soil physical structure is not necessarily true. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.”

Some may question the value of composting when these nutrients are lost.

“A major goal of future composting research should be to maximize nutrient retention (possibly by the use of additives) while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions,” Larney wrote in a research paper. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

REPURPOSING

Dairy cattle snooze on dried manure beds Manitoba dairy producer implements new system to dry manure and use it for cattle bedding with impressive results People are always so amazed when they see the cows, how clean they are.

HENRY HOLTMANN ROSSER HOLSTEIN LTD.

BY TARYN RIEMER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A

new way to bed dairy cattle has producers looking at what’s beneath their feet to save money.

Recycled bedding solids, also known as dried manure, has been on the rise on the Prairies for the last few years.

Using manure as bedding may not be a producer’s first choice, but some are finding it to be effective and costsaving.

Henry Holtmann, co-owner of Rosser Holstein Ltd. in Rosser, Man., implemented the system on his farm because he planned to bring together two herds that were housed at different locations.

The problem was that he would need to find something to do with the extra manure.

As well, he had seen the system successfully used in the United States.

“We had, you know, done a lot of visiting in the northeastern United States where a lot of these units were and, you know, we saw cows that were clean, very comfortable and it was recycling something that you had and we liked that,” said Holtmann.

He also worried that straw, which is in abundance at the moment in his area, could someday become harder to find.

He was denied funding through the Growing Forward program but went ahead anyway because he felt the project made sense financially.

It cost slightly more than $500,000, which included constructing the unit, building and pits.

Holtmann scrapes the barn three times a day and pumps the manure into a holding system, where it is constantly mixed.

The manure then goes into the separator, which is a screw press.

The separator squeezes out the liquids, which are pumped to the lagoons. The solids are dropped into a container, which contains a rotating drum that turns slowly.

The solids will tumble in the drum

for 30 to 36 hours with a constant temperature of 75 C before they are ready to use.

Holtmann said the system saves him $61,000 a year on bedding and $16,000 on the manure spreading bill.

Holtmann said cattle also lie down longer, have less abrasions and produce more milk.

He said the cows may be lying in manure, but they enjoy it and look good.

“People are always so amazed when they see the cows, how clean they are.”

Dwayne Rogness, a rural extension specialist with Lethbridge County in Alberta, has helped two farmers receive funding from the provincial government to install similar systems.

He said it’s a good option for farmers and from what he’s seen, the cows are clean and indifferent to the change of bedding.

Holtmann said research at the University of Manitoba is addressing the possibility that harmful substances might remain in the dried manure solids.

U.S. research has been positive, he added, but he wants to see Canadian studies on the subject.

Jennifer Neden, a nutrient management specialist with Alberta Agriculture who has helped producers obtain funding to install the system, said all but one of the 10 to 12 producers she has worked with have seen decreases in their somatic cell count.

Holtmann said one problem with the system is that the lagoons now produce more odour.

A lack of solids in the lagoons means the crust that usually forms on top is gone and the odour can escape.

Neden said she has also heard of this problem from Alberta producers.

“One dairy producer said, ‘it’s almost

as bad as hog manure,’ ” she said.

Funding is available from all three prairie provinces for this type of system.

In Saskatchewan, the manure storage enhancement best management practice under the Growing Forward 2’s farm stewardship program provides up to 30 percent of eligible costs to a maximum of $50,000.

In Alberta, producers can receive a 50-50 cost share grant with a cap of $50,000 under Growing Forward 2’s confined feeding operations stewardship program.

In Manitoba, producers can receive up to 65 percent of eligible costs to a cap of $375,000 under the Growing Assurance–Environment program.

Qualifications differ from province to province, so a producer’s best bet is to check out the province’s website for more information.

FUNDRAISING

Crowds always happy to plop down money for cow patty bingo Fun, easy fundraiser is popular with charity groups

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

W

hether it’s called cow chip bingo, cow plop drop or cow patty bingo, the bovine game of manure chance is popular.

Lorraine Bates, manager of the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Country Fest, said the unique fundraiser was used for two years to help offset the cost of the fair’s 4-H show. “We may do it again. It was fun, but it was quite a bit of work,� she said.

Just like the name, each bovine bingo game has slightly different rules.

At the Maple Ridge fair, a section of a show ring was blocked off and the walls measured and marked. Gamblers bought tickets on each square.

A 4-H member led a cow around the arena and when the manure fell, a series of strings were used to figure which block the manure fell in.

Organizers sold 1,200 tickets for the Saturday and Sunday bingo and $500 was paid out to each day’s winner.

The rest of the money went to offset the cost of the 4-H show, which is the largest in the province.

Bates estimated the bingo raised $7,400 over the two days. “It’s a way to help with some of the costs.�

Lynda Osborne of Qualicum Beach, B.C., used a cow pie bingo to help her raise $10,000 for a cancer fundraiser in 2011.

The calves that were turned into the field on the day of the event weren’t quite so co-operative. Instead of doing their business, they laid down in the field for a rest.

A replacement cow was more cooperative, and the visitors held their breath while they wait for a cow plop. “It was fun. People really enjoyed it,� said Osborne, who paid money for first and second cow plops.

Bryce Burnett of Saskatchewan’s Swift Current Agriculture and Exhibition Association said it’s been a few years since his organization held a cow plop drop, but he believes organizers painted a checkerboard in the dirt with spray paint, added corral panels and let a quiet cow into the ring.

Gamblers could buy a square in the ring for $5 or $10. “The first plop won.�

If a cow pie landed on a line, it was split between the squares where it landed.

Jody Korchinski, a communications specialist with the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission,

The feasibility study conducted by the research facility is part of its ongoing study into manure and biogas production.

Many farms in Europe and parts of Canada are already making money from biogas, but those systems traditionally rely on a liquid manure system.

The PAMI project has been examining a novel system that uses solid manure, which is more practical within the western Canadian beef industry.

While smaller and cheaper than other anaerobic digesters, a fullscale, solid-state system could still cost $5 to $15 million, said Joy Agnew, PAMI project manager.

“It really is only an option for large feedlot facilities because of the high capital cost associated with it,” said Agnew.

“You need to have a large facility with a large amount of waste to deal with and currently a large cost to deal with.… The payback period, however, remains a fraction of a liquid system, the costs of which can exceed $30 million.

“Going to a solid-state system might actually make it more economically viable than a liquid system if someone has looked into digestion in the past and said, ‘oh, it’s not economically viable, maybe it is if you look at a solid state system instead.’ ” PAMI conducted an economic analysis of the solid-state technology, comparing it with traditional manure management systems such as stockpiling and composting and

assigning a dollar value on all aspects of production, including odour emissions, social perception and greenhouse gases.

The biogas system was found to be feasible despite the high cost of entry, but development work needs to be done.

The analysis included determining a monetary value for the leftover materials, called digestate, from biogas production as fertilizer and capitalizing on carbon tax credits. It puts the total value of digested manure at $2 to $19 per tonne.

“Based on our numbers and including the capital costs of digestion, it shows that overall, like over a 20 year lifespan of the digester, the digester has the highest net positive return per tonne of manure that’s handled,” said Agnew.

Saskatchewan doesn’t have a carbon offset program, so the analysis uses Alberta’s model.

The cost of the system would increase depending on what the user wants to do with the gas.

“If you want to upgrade it to be put back into the natural gas grid, then you’re on the upper end of that,” said Agnew.

“But if you’re able to use the power and heat on site, you’re on the lower end. Most of the cost comes in the gas handling and gas conversion equipment.”

Agnew has been conducting trials at a pilot facility at the Termeunde Research Ranch near Lanigan, Sask., since 2012, using manure from the neighbouring Pound-Maker Agventures feedlot.

The system can use 10 tonnes of material at a time.

Agnew has tested mixtures of manure and other organic materials. For example, the addition of potatoes didn’t produce any more gas but did kill pathogens such as late blight.

“So we didn’t get a lot of gas, but it proved that it is a great disposal method for that kind of waste,” said Agnew.

In an interview this fall, Agnew said she was testing dead stock from a feedlot in the digester.

“I can’t tell you how much gas we’re going to get out of it, but at the bench scale (test), the manure and carcass gave us the most,” she said.

Agnew said there’s also interest from municipalities in using the solid-state technology to produce energy from food waste and yard trimmings, which could hold greater potential.

“The scaling up of it is all dependent on industr y uptake,” said Agnew.

“Manure, it’s a great feedstock for digestion, but it’s a very low biogas producing feedstock. So that’s why we are now working with cities and municipalities to get a richer feedstock like food waste because it’s possible that you could make it economical at a fairly small scale.

“The actual reactor sizes that we have at our pilot facility might the sufficient to make a solid state digester for food waste and yard trimmings work.” dan.yates@producer.com

BIODIGESTERS

Dirty deeds aren’t done dirt cheap when it comes to manure biodigesters

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

M

anitoba hog farmers aren’t failing to build manure biodigesters because they’re stupid, says a researcher involved in trying to make them work in prairie conditions.

They aren’t building them because they’re good at financial math.

“There’s a reason we don’t have many around,” said University of Manitoba bioengineering professor Nazim Cicek.

“If they made economic sense, believe me, farmers are very smart.

They pick up technology quickly and they make it work, but our environment just isn’t very conducive at the moment.”

Manitoba hog farmers aren’t allowed to build new hog barns unless they feed their manure through biodigesters, which turn much of the material into gases.

However, only a couple of hog barns in the province are experimenting with some sort of digestion system, and the most advanced on-farm biodigester is on a dair y farm and still being commissioned.

Biodigesters are widely used in some jurisdictions, such as Wisconsin just south of the Manitoba border, and they are “a mature technology” in Europe.

However, Cicek said two main problems make biodigesters nonstarters for most prairie farms: practical design challenges and economic realities.

The practical design concerns seem to be the less serious challenge.

Biodigesters are expensive, but keeping them warm enough during harsh prairie winters can be done.

Building hog barns isn’t cheap if each farm needs to have its own dedicated digester. Cicek said some facilities in Wisconsin service a number of farms, and some of those farms can have 2,000 to 3,000 cows.

The dairy farm he’s working with outside Winkler, Man., has 300 cows.

Bigger digesters can take advantage of economies of scale.

However, Cicek said operating biodigesters in a way that can make money, or at least not lose a lot of money, is a bigger challenge.

“It’s far from being self-sustaining economically at the moment,” said Cicek.

The challenges are many.

Biogas produced by biodigesters can’t be sold for much, especially in Manitoba.

“Energy prices here are low,” said Cicek, noting that the six cents per kilowatt hour that Manitoba Hydro offers producers compares badly to 19 cents per kilowatt hour offered in

Ontario and up to 40 cents in Germany.

“You need to find other sources of revenues or other reasons to do it,” said Cicek.

The dairy industry takes advantage of its need to buy bedding by turning the solids left at the end of the digestion process into a valuable product.

The solids are squeezed dry with a screw press and the material can be used to bed the animals. However, bedding isn’t used in most prairie hog barns.

Hog manure is thin gruel for a digester. Unlike dairy manure, which can be six to nine percent solid matter, hog manure is only three percent solids. It means the digester has to

work twice the amount of liquid to consume the same amount of solid manure.

Manitoba farmers don’t receive carbon credits or substantial greenhouse grass mitigation benefits like they do in Europe.

Government departments and agencies such as Manitoba Hydro have supported small test projects

like that on the Sweetridge Farm near Winkler, which Cicek is working on, but places like Germany offer big capital grants to cover much of the cost of construction.

“That’s the reason we don’t have much on-farm digester presence in Western Canada,” said Cicek.

Unlike dairy manure, which can be six to nine percent solid matter, hog manure is only three percent solids. It means the digester has to work twice the amount of liquid to consume the same amount of solid manure.

ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTION

New technology can be tough sell A company has developed a system to turn liquid hog manure into water, but commercialization is proving difficult

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

I

t’s taken nearly 20 years and 10 patents, but Victor Van Slyke may have found a silver bullet to the environmental challenges of hog manure.

Van Slyke, a Vancouver entrepreneur, is one of the founding partners of ATD Waste Systems Inc., a company that has developed technology to turn liquid hog manure into fertilizer pellets and water.

ATD is now ready to commercialize its manure treatment system, but hog industry players are taking a wait and see approach, Van Slyke said.

“We have inquiries from 30 countries, all based on our website,” Van Slyke said from his Vancouver home. “Pressure is building on the industry all over the world (to address environmental issues).”

Van Slyke said Chinese hog producers are particularly interested in the technology.

“There are 950 million hogs in the world and half of them are in China. Their environmental problems are worse than ours. But they’re like anybody else, they’ll buy it as soon as we can prove we know what we’re doing.”

The founders of ATD and their business partners, scientists at the University of British Columbia’s chemical engineering department and Hipp-Anvil Engineering Ltd., have been patient with their enterprise.

Last April they received their 10th patent for the technology and have eight patents pending.

According to ATD Waste System’s website, the technology eliminates the need for lagoons to store and treat liquid hog manure.

The process converts hog manure into water

and fertilizer pellets in several ways: • It extracts nutrients from the liquids with a membrane filter.

• It extracts ammonia from the liquids to make ammonium sulfate, with an ammonium stripper and scrubber.

• Water is sterilized with ultraviolet light and recycled back to the barn.

• The solids are dried using a biomass burner, then turned into pellets.

In 2009 ATD was recognized as one of the Top 50 innovators in global water technology, but lack of money has held back the enterprise.

“I’ve (spent) some private capital on this, along with two other fellows,” said Van Slyke, who was an accountant and data processing specialist but is now retired. “We welcome additional funding from any source, whether debt or equity.”

Van Slyke said ATD Waste Systems has applied for numerous government grants to support the technology but it has been unsuccessful.

Part of the problem is image: manure treatment is not sexy.

“Private (companies) aren’t that keen to invest in manure technology,” Van Slyke said.

“Private money would like to get a quicker return by investing in software, medical devices and things like that.”

Bert Monesmith, who sits on ATD’s advisory board and is a senior business development director with Tetra Tech, an environmental engineering firm, said the science behind the process is proven.

Yet, to sell the technology to Chinese clients or other customers the company needs a demonstration project.

“It’s the implementation to (commercial)

operations that is the issue,” Monesmith said.

“The whole thing is a Catch-22. Investors are always looking at risk. If you can put your money into technologies that are commercially ready… those are pretty attractive.”

Van Slyke said they are close to overcoming the demonstration site hurdle. They are in discussions with the University of Wisconsin on a pilot project and have contacted politicians and hog industry leaders in Manitoba.

“I’ve sent an email pitch to Maple Leaf (Foods) … and the premier of Manitoba … (asking) if he would agree to some kind of temporary permit for a test site.”

Even if they build a pilot project and prove the process does convert hog manure into fertilizer pellets and water, Van Slyke and ATD have another obstacle: the technology is expensive.

Van Slyke said the cost of an ATD treatment system is about $5 million for a large hog barn, but the up-front cost can be recovered by selling fertilizer pellets.

“We did some estimating … and it seems that it would take 10,000 hogs, or about 60 cubic metres of manure a day, to pay back within five years,” Van Slyke said.

The technology also saves water. According to ATD’s website, the treatment process reduces water consumption by 80 percent because water in the manure is treated and recycled back to the barn.

Despite the two-decade timeline to get to this stage, Van Slyke remains confident in the technology.

“We have convinced some other people…. We do have business associates,” he said. “(There is) a very, very large market for this.”

CAN A $5 MILLION HOG MANURE TREATMENT SYSTEM PAY FOR ITSELF? ATD Waste Systems has developed technology to convert liquid hog manure into fertilizer pellets and water. It claims a hog barn with 10,000 finisher places can recover its investment in five years.

In its promotional materials, the Vancouver company says the technology is an “investment in a … fertilizer manufacturing business.”

The manure treatment system offers several sources of revenue and cost control: • Sales of fertilizer pellets.

• Sales of greenhouse gas credits.

• Elimination of existing manure management costs.

BIOGAS PROJECT

Alta. biodigester switches from manure to municipal waste Growing Power made the move because municipalities are paying it to turn their garbage into electricity

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

T

he two biodigesters that were originally designed to turn feedlot manure into electricity are now using municipal waste as their main energy source, says the company that designed the technology.

Changing economics have convinced the owners of the Growing Power Hairy Hill Biogas project to use mostly organic waste from Edmonton and surrounding municipalities.

“The facility at Hairy Hill used to be a straight manure digester and it has now gone to 90 percent municipal waste. It has converted to a municipal digester from a manure digester,” said Shane Crapko, a co-chief executive officer of Himark BioGas. “We do take a little manure now and again, but it’s mostly municipal.”

The biodigesters were built next to Highland Feeders near Hairy Hill, Alta., in 2005.

C ra p k o s a i d t h e s w i t c h f ro m manure to municipal waste was strictly about economics.

“Rather than it going to land fill and being wasted, the project is getting paid to take the material, and it is not going into land fill.”

The biodigester uses about 50 tonnes of manure and 300 to 400 tonnes of municipal waste a year to produce 2.4 megawatts of electricity.

The municipal waste includes leaves and food.

Most of the 500 tonnes of manure that the feedlot produces is now hauled onto fields.

“The manure from the feedlot is still being utilized as nutrients on crop land surrounding the feedlot and there is plans to expand that again using manure out of the feedlot,” he said.

“This was an economic opportunity that landed in their lap.”

Crapko said construction has started on a third biodigester that will also use manure and other waste.

Municipalities started hauling waste to the facility on a trial basis in 2012.

The Growing Power Hairy Hills Biogas project began as a way to use manure for electrical generation. It has since added municipal waste to its list of feedstocks. | HIMARK BIOGAS PHOTO The biogas project at Hairy Hill was the first large scale biodigester built using technology developed through Himark BioGas, but the Western Plains Energy biogas project that was built in Kansas in 2011 using the same technology is now one of the largest biogas plants in the world.

It can take up to 2,800 tonnes of dry material and 1,000 tonnes of wet material per year, including cattle manure, ethanol plant waste, slaughterhouse waste and municipal organic waste.

It has the capacity to produce 11

megawatts of electricity a year.

Himark BioGas’s technology is also being used to build three biogas facilities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island to recycle food waste to produce fertilizer and electricity.

Crapko said biodigesters should be scattered across North America as a way to create electricity and reduce waste, but it is unlikely to happen until politicians create policies that encourage bioenergy projects.

Oil, gas, coal, solar and wind energy all have policies and incentives to encourage their development, but biogas doesn’t have the same policy

backing, he added.

“In some ways it’s a crying shame that energy potential from all the manure is getting wasted, or the vast majority of manure is being wasted,” he said.

“Our politicians haven’t been willing to put in the policy that makes the industry take off. They chip away at it and give it lots of lip service, but they haven’t firmly backed the industry.”

There are 7,000 biodigesters in Germany, compared to 178 in North America.

Crapko said the kind of policies that are in place in Germany would encour-

age the construction of 250,000 to 300,000 facilities in North America.

“To go from 178 to 250,000 you need incentives, or proper green energy premiums, or proper teeth in regulations to not spread raw manure ad nauseam on land,” he said.

“All of that energy potential of that manure, when it is handled in traditional methods, the energy in that manure is wasted. When you run manure through a digester, you harvest the energy, and all the nutrients in the manure are still there.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

JTL Industries is excited to add to our line of grain bins our

"&3"5&% '&35*-*;&3 #*/4Ą Call for introductory pricing!

We are very excited about our next step in the bin market!

With the recent increases to our production capabilities, we need our marketing chapter to expand as well. Finding staging areas across the prairies to be used as distribution points is also a priority for us to eliminate some of the logistic issues we have faced in the past. Our plan since the inception of JTL was to provide farmer designed products at fair pricing as an alternative to what was traditionally offered in the grain storage market. This concept has been well accepted by you, our customers and we feel now is the time to spread our wings and shake things up even more! After discussing different marketing strategies, we felt that offering an opportunity to the people who have supported us through purchasing our products may be an awesome way to say thank you and expand our sales team at the same time!

Just like our products this is a somewhat unique strategy that we feel will be beneficial for all of us.

We have always said our customers are our best salesmen so here is your opportunity to actually get paid for the promoting you do for us!

As a current customer of ours you will be paid a commission for every sale you bring to our table between January 1, 2015 and ending on or before April 30th 2015.

Top customer salesperson for the year will get a trip for 2 to Mexico!

Interested? Give us a call for details!

Why A GSI Dryer?

You have planned every aspect of the planting and care of your crop. Planning for success at harvest and post-harvest should be no different. Being confident in the protection of your properly conditioned grain allows you to turn your attention to managing your operation, monitoring the markets and the overall strength of your business.

Portable Dryers provide higher capacities with greater flexibility while minimizing the investment. From 220 BPH dry & cool to 4,000 BPH all heat, from a simple system with grain moved by augers to the most complex handling.

Optional WatchDog Software GSIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optional WatchDog software program allows remote monitoring of dryer functions such as moisture, temperature and dryer status from a web accessible computer. Web based for greater accessibility, the WatchDog keeps you advised from the comfort and convenience of your home, office or smartphone.

Call now to take advantage of Factory Winter Programs Disclaimer: Free WATCHDOG remote control & monitoring system only available with purchase of new Vision Portable Dryers on Winter Program only. WATCHDOG technology requires web access and all costs such as cell modem, wired, or wireless connection to the web are the responsibility of the customer and not included in this offer.â&#x20AC;?

Dairy and hog producers burn a lot of extra diesel trying to agitate and pump slurry that’s the consistency of oatmeal. A new bacterial agent promises to make that slurry pump more like cream of wheat. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS MANURE TREATMENT

Turn thick lumpy gumbo into nice runny slurry Separation of nitrates and phosphorus can occur after slurry is in the soil

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

» Regardless of how much tractor

power you use, the pumps are made to move liquid, not solids, such as straw, sand and carcasses.

G

UELPH, Ont. — Agitating and pumping slurry is a large ongoing expense for hog and dairy farmers because slurry typically has the consistency of lumpy gumbo.

However, it’s not as much of a problem for the 500 Canadian livestock producers who regularly introduce a biological additive called BactZyme into their slurry pits, says Andrew Flokstra, a representative of Star Gro Products in Chilliwack, B.C., which distributes the product.

“It doesn’t exactly turn slurry to the consistency of water, of course, but it does make it flow better,” said Flokstra.

The slurry will then flow more uniformly and reduce plugs when injected into the soil.

He said the difference between raw slurry and BactZyme-treated slurry

is like the difference between oatmeal and cream of wheat. Farmers who irrigate with treated slurry find they have more even distribution with fewer hassles.

As an added bonus, the slurry soaks into the soil quicker, which prevents manure caking on the surface and reduces runoff.

There’s one more subtle benefit.

“In barns where the pits are below the animals, you’ll notice better air quality,” Flokstra said.

“The BactZyme reduces ammonium nitrates, giving you a healthier environment in the barn. BactZyme is simply a refined version of biological agents found in nature called Bacilleus subtilis and Bacilleus magaterium. These bacteria are already present in manure, but not at a high level.

“What we’re tr ying to do with BactZyme is re-introduce those bacteria, that already exist in the manure, at a higher level. BactZyme helps to naturally break down the manure.”

The product was originally developed in California to help dairy farmers comply with strict legislation governing nitrates and phosphorus leeching into the water table or volatizing into the atmosphere and soil.

The chemists who developed

BactZyme figured out how to make nitrates and phosphorus bond to soil particles instead of immediately releasing into the environment. The nutrients become available later when plant roots are ready to use them. In a sense, the product works like a slow release fertilizer.

And that has implications for crop performance. Star Gro has not conducted field trials in Canada, but California research shows a 30 percent yield benefit on fields treated with the product.

“The enzymes keep the nitrates and phosphorus attached to soil particles. They’re held in place until roots of a plant have a chance to access them.”

Flokstra said the formula that is tested and sold in California is not quite the same as the one sold in Canada because of federal regulations.

As a result, he would not say what, if any, crop benefit a Canadian farmer might experience.

However, he did say the slow release should prevent crop damage.

Flokstra said regular users say pit pumping is far easier once BactZyme has been in the system for a while. Over time, the bottom of a slurry pit grows a hard layer that the agitator and pump

can’t handle. This solid layer grows thicker each year, thus reducing the available volume in the pit. The return on capital investment diminishes as more liquid volume disappears into this growing hard layer.

Producers who use BactZyme find that they can eventually pump right down to the lagoon’s concrete floor, thus recovering the entire volume they originally bought.

BactZyme was available only in a powder form when it first came to market in Canada two years ago. It has since been re-formulated into solid blocks about the size and shape of hockey pucks.

Instead of dumping powder into the open pit, producers now drop the pucks between the floor slats in the barn and directly into the pit below.

The larger four ounce pucks are intended for dairy barns, while the smaller two ounce pucks are intended for hog operations.

The cost for a dairy operation is one cent per day per cow, and the cost for a hog operation is a half cent per day per sow.

ARCHAEOLOGY

Fossilized feces give the scoop on dinosaurs Dinosaurs have long since been extinct, but their fossilized feces have managed to survive in Saskatchewan

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

“The preservation of dinosaur feces is pretty rare,” said Donald Henderson, curator of dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alta.

Feces stand a good chance of being destroyed by rain, washed away or eaten by other animals unless they are rapidly buried.

“A skeleton can be broken up and swept downriver and we can still find the bones,” he said.

“But once feces get disturbed, it’s gone.”

However, samples have been found despite the difficulties.

Henderson said it is almost impossible to tell the exact kind of dinosaur that made the fossilized feces, which is known as coprolite.

“The best we can say most times is if it is a plant eater or meat eater,” he said.

Henderson said Tyrannosaurs rex coprolite found in Saskatchewan is kept at the T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Sask.

Researchers know it was this particular dinosaur because bone fragments were found inside the loafsized coprolite. The T.rex was the only carnivore in the area 65 million years ago.

“It’s thought that the bone mineral actually helped encourage fossilization of the material,” said Henderson.

Tim Tokaryk, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the centre, said the coprolite was discovered a year after the skeleton of Scotty, the T.rex at the centre, was unearthed.

“We were able to determine the bones contained in this coprolite were from a juvenile dinosaur, possibly a triceratops or duck-billed dinosaur,” said Tokaryk.

Karen Chin, curator of paleontology at the University of Colorado, said she worked on a project at the Tyrrell Museum that involved carnivore coprolite with fossilized muscle tissue inside.

“When the dinosaur ate some of its prey, the pieces of meat that it ate were not fully digested,” she said.

The coprolite would have had to be rapidly buried and mineralized, she added. Otherwise, the muscle tissue would have easily decomposed.

Carnivores leave behind interesting remains, but Henderson said he

Royal Saskatchewan Museum Director Harold Bryant shows visitors the Tyrannosaurus rex coprolite specimen. | ROYAL SASKATCHEWAN MUSEUM PHOTO has come across herbivore coprolites that contained twigs, small wood fragments and plant needles.

“They don’t grind their food up the way we do. At best, they chop it up into smaller pieces, then swallow that,” he said.

Pieces of wood were found in a duck billed dinosaur’s feces that contained insects.

“The thinking is, what if the animal was eating the wood to get the bugs and protein?” Henderson said.

Chin said researchers have found evidence of dung beetle burrows in some coprolite samples, which she said dated dung beetle activity to as far back as at least 75 million years ago.

“That’s why coprolites, for me, are really interesting,” she said.

“Because they can provide evidence for links between these different animals.”

Examples of coprolites have been

found across Saskatchewan. Tokaryk said the centre in Eastend has some from the Assiniboia area and near Rouleau, Sask., but researchers aren’t sure which dinosaur made them.

Henderson said coprolites have also been found in the Dinosaur Provincial Park near Brooks, Alta.

He said the climate in Saskatchewan during the dinosaur era was wetter than other places, which made it difficult for coprolites to be preserved.

However, marine dinosaur coprolites have been found from when Saskatchewan was covered by water 100 to 67 million years ago.

“In order to preserve dinosaur feces, they had to fortuitously defecate in a place where the feces would be buried rather quickly, usually in river environments,” Chin said.

“In one case, we even found one in a tidal flat.”

Livestock manure can be a source of serious diseases in animals and people who come in contact with contaminated food, water and surfaces

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A

review written 10 years ago by Merle Olson of the University of Calgary’s faculty of biology estimated that 1,415 infectious organisms are known to cause disease in humans and 616 pathogens cause disease in livestock.

One-third of the livestock pathogens are zoonotic, which means they can transmit disease between animals and humans. The diseases are often carried in manure that was spread on fields and then ran into surface or groundwater.

More producers have fenced off dugouts, streams and lakes in recent years to prevent animals from depositing manure and possible pathogens in the water.

Instead, water is delivered to them, resulting in healthier animals that are not subjected to water contaminated with feces and urine.

FoodNet Canada, which tracks food-borne illnesses, says it is common to trace enteric human pathogens back to farm animal manure.

For example, campylobacter has been consistently detected in dairy, beef and hog manure but rarely in broiler chicken manure. Salmonella was commonly detected in broiler chicken farms and on hog manure.

Bacteria such as salmonella are harbored by domestic livestock and wildlife and have been known for years to cause serious infection in humans.

Many of these infective agents have survived for thousands of years by constantly evolving and adapting to new conditions.

More recently, newly recognized organisms such as E. coli O157:H7, campylobacter jejuni, lister ia monocytogenes and mycobacterium have emerged as important sources of infection in humans.

Other pathogens that are found in manure but restricted to animals can lead to costly illnesses such as scours, bovine viral diarrhea and porcine epidemic diarrhea.

Scours is a well known condition on many farms, especially among young animals.

“Scours is the blanket term we refer to when calves have diarrhea, and that can span anywhere from just having loose stool and still being happy to being flat out and near death,” said Claire Windeyer of the U of C’s faculty of veterinary medicine.

“It embodies that whole spectrum of disease, and it can be caused by a lot of different pathogens. A lot of times you don’t know which pathogen it is. Often it is a combination of pathogens. It is rarely just one,” Windeyer said.

“Management is important to dilute the amount in the environment, trying to avoid the calf’s exposure to it and trying to make sure that calf is as strong and healthy.… It doesn’t really matter which pathogens it meets if you have those other three factors under control.”

ZOONOTIC BACTERIA

MYCOBACTERIUM • Mycobacterium is a group of bacteria associated with tuberculosis.

• Tuberculosis is for the most part a respiratory disease spread through the air, but transmission may occur indirectly from contaminated pastures, water and fomites.

Bacteria can also be shed in the milk and feces of animals.

• Mycobacterium bovis has a wide host range, including cattle, humans, pigs and cervids, while mycobacterium paratuberculosis can infect humans, cattle, sheep and goats. It can cause tuberculosis in cattle and humans.

• Mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection in cattle causes paratuberculosis, or Johne’s disease, which is a chronic, incurable condition.

• The bacteria are excreted in milk and feces, and the bacteria spread through the blood to the internal organs. Infected adult animals usually transmit it in their feces to young animals.

• In humans, M. paratuberculosis has been linked to Crohn’s disease, which causes chronic inflammation and thickening of the intestine.

LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES • Listeria is a type of bacteria often found in food and elsewhere in nature. It can cause a rare but serious disease called listeriosis.

• Pregnant women, the elderly and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk than others. In serious cases, listeriosis can lead to brain infection and death.

• The Public Health Agency of Canada says it is widespread in the environment, where it is found in soil, vegetation, water, sewage, some types of livestock feed and in the feces of humans and animals.

Animals and humans can carry the bacteria without knowing it.

• Plants and vegetables can become contaminated with listeria from soil, water and manure-based fertilizers. Farm animals that appear healthy may also carry listeria and contaminate foods such as meats and dairy products.

• It can survive refrigeration, but it can be killed by pasteurization and proper cooking procedures.

E. COLI • E. coli is present in the feces of humans, wildlife and domestic livestock. Most strains that are found in the intestines of healthy humans, domestic livestock and wildlife are harmless, and some are a beneficial component of the natural digestion process.

• However there are several harmful strains. The best known is E.coli O157:H7, which is passed by cattle in their manure.

• Its shedding can be affected by the season, age of animal, diet, geographical location, population density and management conditions.

• E. coli O157:H7 is harmless to most animals but can be dangerous to humans if contaminated water or undercooked meat is consumed, especially to those with an immature or weakened immune system.

• Beef can become contaminated by cattle hides and equipment during slaughter and processing and by food handlers in the retail sector.

PARASITES • A large number of animal parasites can cause infections in humans, but most of them are present in developing countries and in tropical and subtropical areas.

• Giardia duodenalis, cryptosporidium parvum and ascaris suum are the most common parasites of domestic livestock manure.

• Giardia colonizes the small intestine of humans and livestock and can lead to moderate-tosevere diarrhea.

• It is predominantly transmitted through fecal-oral routes, but water-borne and food-borne transmission have been reported.

Water contamination with giardia has been associated with agricultural runoff.

• Giardia duodenalis is common in cattle and pigs worldwide. Its prevalence in cattle in Canada is age dependent: 10 percent in adult cattle to 100 percent in calves.

G STATISTICS LIVESTOCK DISEASES LINKED TO MANURE

CAMPYLOBACTER • Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common bacterial causes of diarrheal illness in humans in North America, infecting more than four million people a year.

• There are a number of species of this spiral shaped bacterium.

• Most human outbreaks are associated with the consumption of fecal-contaminated unpasteurized milk and surface water. It may also occur with the mishandling and consumption of fecal-contaminated undercooked poultry or cross-contamination of food by raw poultry.

SALMONELLA • Salmonella is widespread in the intestines of most wildlife, humans and domestic livestock. It is a leading cause of food poisoning.

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM • Cryptosporidium parvum is a small protozoa that colonizes and multiplies in the intestines and sheds its eggs in feces.

• There are many strains of salmonella, and infections can result from direct contact with feces and indirectly from contaminated food and inanimate objects.

• This parasite has been identified in severe intestinal disease in humans and animals over the last 30 years.

• Cryptosporidium can be transmitted by the fecal-oral, water-borne and food-borne routes, but it appears to be more likely associated with water-borne outbreaks.

• Most outbreaks have been traced to human sewage contamination of drinking water, but it has also been associated with livestock manure.

• Salmonella bacterial counts start to decrease once on the soil and could reach low levels within 30 days. However, even if manure was spread more than 30 days ago, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash produce, especially below ground varieties that might contain soil or manure.

BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA • Bovine viral diarrhea is an infection that can cause numerous problems in cattle, including damage to the digestive and immune systems and birth defects.

• It can cause high mortality in calves and yearling cattle and has devastating economic consequences to cattle producers.

• It is closely related to the pathogen responsible for hog cholera.

• Infected animals can shed the virus from discharges of the mouth, nose and eyes and in the milk. The highest viral concentrations are found in the manure of infected animals with diarrhea. Many infected bulls also carry the virus in their semen.

• Infection in a pregnant cow may spread to the fetus, which can cause different conditions depending on the age of the fetus.

PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA VIRUS • The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus is primarily spread by fecaloral contact and can survive in manure for extended periods of time. It is possible for the disease to be spread by any object that becomes contaminated with infected pig manure.

• Recent research at the University of Minnesota shows it can survive in liquid manure for 14 days at room temperature.

• It is most commonly found in manure but can be moved in the wind on dust particles.

• The World Organization for Animal Health says the virus can survive at least 28 days in slurry at 4 C and seven days in feces-contaminated dry feed at 25 C. Sources: University of Calgary, Public Health Agency of Canada, Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine | WP GRAPHIC

Amphibious lagoon machine makes debut Nuhn Lagoon Crawler uses remote control to mix up lagoons

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

W

OODSTOCK, Ont. — It didn’t take long for the Nuhn Lagoon Crawler to go from a concept to a commercial success.

The prototype was exhibited in a static display at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show last September. Twelve months later, 34 have been sold across North America and another two to buyers in Russia.

“Went from a blank computer screen to a working prototype and we did it in just 10 days,” said Ian Nuhn, who designed the unit for his family’s firm, Nuhn Industries Ltd. “The design work started last summer, and the first production model rolled off in February.”

The crawler uses four-inch jets for agitation and lagoon manoeuvring: one at the front and two in the rear.

They move up to 10,000 gallons per minute and generate up to 120 pounds per sq. inch on the front jet.

Visitors at this year’s Outdoor Farm Show marvelled at the live demonstration.

The remotely controlled machine weighs 15,000 pounds but is highly manoeuvrable, even able to spin in a circle while immersed. What makes the crawler unique is its ability to enter lagoons on its own.

“We have patent pending on the amphibious dr ive. Having the ground drive wheels is a huge selling point,” Nuhn said.

It features front and back tire steering, and the body can be lifted hydraulically for greater ground clearance. Nuhn said other jet agitation systems are on the market, but they are generally mounted on a static float system. In some cases, the float is manoeuvred with cables.

The Nuhn crawler operated at the Outdoor Farm Show is owned by

Bartels Environmental of Hamilton , Ont., which has used it for municipally operated lagoons. It’s powered by a 275 horsepower diesel Cummins engine. Nuhn said there’s also a John Deere option.

The powerful jets blast solids from the bottom and corners of lagoons, creating consistent slurry in short order. Many conventional systems

leave solids behind when lagoons are emptied, despite hours of agitation.

“The nutritional value of the manure solids left behind can be a million dollars,” Nuhn said.

He said there’s been considerable interest among custom operators and expects them to be used primarily within the dairy and hog industries.

Nuhn has considerable experience

in pumping technology design and worked closely with Frank Niekoley, the plant supervisor, on the original prototype.

The biggest challenges were balancing the machine’s flotation capability and making sure all components were working in sync.

Fifteen to 20 employees were involved with the fabrication.

POLICY

Many factors to consider before breaking ground Provincial regulations and cost considerations will dictate lagoon construction and materials

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

T

he definition of a lagoon is pretty straight forward as far as the Saskatchewan health ministry is concerned.

“A lagoon is a large gently sloped basin in the ground that is designed to contain sewage,” it says.

“The liquid is disposed of through evaporation, while the solids are retained and broken down by microorganisms.”

However, livestock operators still have a lot of regulatory, environmental and production related factors to think about before digging a hole.

Location, soil type and nearby neighbours and municipalities will influence the design, structure and cost of a new lagoon.

Producers will have to work with officials and engineers to establish the dimensions and slopes of the structure to meet the demands of provincial regulators.

They’ll have to determine its storage capacity and maximum hydraulic conductivity, and they will need a plan to keep water from running off and running in.

Chris Ullmann of Alberta Agriculture said the challenges are the same whether it’s a dairy or hog operation.

“You generally don’t want a site where you’re going to have

CONSTRUCTION

Materials matter When it comes to lagoon liners and covers, Chris Ulmann says he sees more of some things than others.

Intensive livestock operations can use a naturally occurring protective layer, compacted soil or synthetic liners when constructing a lagoon.

Ulmann, who works with Alberta Agriculture, said he sees more compacted soils than synthetics, but there are alternatives.

Alberta regulations allow for an alternative liner to be used, provided it matches or exceeds the guidelines for a compacted soil liner for thickness and porosity.

Producers can also build concrete or steel tanks in areas with coarse soils or ground with a mix of clay, sand and gravel.

“If you had a really shallow water table and you can’t go into the ground hardly at all with a synthetic, then you’re probably going to be moving up that price chain and looking at concrete or steel tanks.”

The most commonly used cover system is a natural one: letting the lagoon form a crust.

More producers may eventually adopt lagoon covers to capture methane, but now the most common alternative cover is to use straw to control odour.

“That’s the primary reason for doing it, but it does require some equipment to go out there and chop straw,” said Ulmann.

“If you don’t have neighbour issues, you’re probably not going to cover with straw.”

neighbours that are nearby because either you’re not going to be able to build now, or maybe in the future you want to expand and those neighbours may limit your ability to expand,” he said.

However, site specific factors will determine what kind of liner an operator uses to keep liquid manure in the lagoon and out of ground and surface water.

As an intensive livestock operation extension specialist, Ullmann helps producers make these decisions and ensure they adhere to the provincial legislation.

“We have kind of a hierarchy of layers and liners that meet the regulations, but as you go up that hierarchy, there tends to be a greater cost,” said Ullmann.

Producers with the right location can get away with a naturally occurring protective layer, but they’ll need a fortunate combination: a lot of clay — 10 metres thick in Alberta — and shallow groundwater.

“If he’s sitting on gravel, then we know we need to look for something else.”

Ullmann said most producers opt for a compacted soil liner, bringing

clay onto the site and building a one metre thick layer. This is usually the most economical option.

Other producers may opt for a synthetic liner, using a polyvinyl chloride or high density polyethylene liner as a barrier.

“I usually tell people to shop around on that as well,” he said.

“There’s different thicknesses.

There’s different liner types. It kind of fluctuates a bit with the price of oil, too.”

Several products are available at different thicknesses with units measured in millimetres. With these

manmade options, producers must have a plan to protect and maintain the liner.

“Synthetic liners are great, but they also have other complications, because they are very thin,” he said.

“They’re easy to tear, so you still need to put in ramps. You need to put in agitation pads and you need to be careful that you don’t tear those liners.

“There’s more reasons than just economics, but economics is definitely part of it.” dan.yates@producer.com

CHEMISTRY

Lime and manure a dangerous cocktail The hot lime used in some parts of the world to treat raw manure poses a fire risk

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

I

f you’ve had that rare experience of watching your outhouse burn down because some fool dumped too much hot lime down the hole, then you know liming raw manure can be dangerous.

None-the-less, thermal drying of manure using hot lime (CaO), sometimes known as quick lime, is used in treating raw manure in the Flanders area of Belgium, and maybe for good reasons.

This small area, with only 1.65 million acres of arable land, is known as one of the worst polluting areas of Europe. Flanders is characterised by intensive hog and poultry operations, which produce an annual phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) surplus of 27 million pounds and an annual N surplus of 48 million pounds for the region.

The EU and the Belgium government have ruled that the region has far more livestock waste than the ground can accept. The government has decreed that no animal based nutrient, meaning manure or animal by-products, can be returned to Flemish arable land.

That’s where thermal drying and liming enter the scene. Thermal drying is expensive, using wood or gas as the fuel to heat manure. The process employs belt dryers, rotary drums, fluidized beds and other such machines.

While the process is expensive, the result is that solid manure is brought down to a favourable dry matter content of 85 percent. In addition to that, it has been rendered hygienic in the process so it can be transported to any European destination.

At that low moisture content, it’s light enough that it can also be made into pellets for long-distance export.

The downside is that thermal drying is expensive because it consumes a lot of energy. There is also a high fire risk.

Liming is used to treat manure solids, despite the obvious risk. When quick lime is added to solid manure, the pH quickly rises to 12 and the temperature quickly rises to 70 C. This 70 C mark is important to manure exporters because this is the temperature at which manure solids must be held for one hour to kill pathogens, thus making those solids eligible to cross the border to northern France.

However, in the case of outhouse maintenance, too much hot lime quickly pushes that temperature far beyond 70 C and you can kiss your outhouse goodbye.

DID YOU KNOW… Although the various methods for separating solid from liquid manure can be quite sophisticated and expensive, nature has given us a two point handicap. First, phosphorus stays with the solid material.

Secondly, the P2O5 compound is very stable and does not break apart as it goes through the separation procedure.

Separators help bring nutrients to farmers Different manure separators produce different kinds of products for reuse in fields

P

rinciples behind the modern centrifuge manure separator and the old stainless steel hand-crank cream separator are much the same, the main difference being the product that passes through.

Agra-Gold, a manure management consulting company, studied a pair of centrifuge machines installed at two hog finishing operations in Quebec: an Andritz built in Austria and an Alfa Laval built in Canada.

Andritz The Andrtiz was installed in 2007 at Agromex’s 8,000 head finishing operation that produces 3.3 million gallons of manure while generating 785 tonnes of solids a year. A 12,000 gallon pre-mixing tank creates a homogenous product to go into the centrifuge.

The centrifuge was bought to remove phosphorus from the hog slurry. It runs 12 hours a day, four days a week, mainly when management is onsite. The part-time schedule removes only half the phosphorus.

The solids are stored on-site for three weeks before they are hauled three kilometres by dump truck to a central storage facility, where they are mixed with chicken manure.

This reduces chicken manure dust.

The nutrient value of the mixed

manure solids is higher than straight hog manure and has a higher value.

Before mixing, the straight hog manure has 19.1 pounds of total nitrogen per tonne and 33 lb. per tonne of phosphorus pent oxide with dry matter of 34 percent.

After mixing with poultry manure, it has 44.6 lb. total nitrogen per tonne and 35.2 lb. per tonne of phosphorus pent oxide with a dry matter of 50 percent.

Brokers in Quebec buy and sell manure based on this analysis.

It is picked up from a central mixing site for a cash price of $10 per tonne if the quantity is less than 500 tonnes and $5 per tonne for higher quantities.

Farmers see enough value in the mixed manure to pay to have it hauled as far as 100 km away. It is applied on corn and cereal fields at a rate up to five tonnes per acre using conventional solid manure spreading equipment.

An agronomist determines the application rate based on detailed analysis of the solids. Each delivery must be accompanied by a signed agreement.

Alfa Laval G2 The 9,000 head Fournier finishing operation owns 1,300 acres of corn land that still require phosphorus.

As a result, some of the manure generated on the farm is not run through a centrifuge.

It installed an Alfa Laval G2 centri-

fuge two years ago to treat five million gallons of liquid hog manure.

The centrifuge runs 24 hours a day from mid-February until the end of the year.

The average dry matter of incoming manure is four to five percent.

The farm has a 42,000 gallon premixing tank to create a homogenous product to go into the machine. The unit’s 30 micron screen removes 70 percent of the phosphorus with no added polymers or flocculants.

Fresh solid manure coming out of the centrifuge contains 28.4 lb. total nitrogen per tonne and 58.3 lb. per tonne of phosphorus pent oxide with dry matter of 29 percent.

The analysis is a bit better for manure that has sat for a while, but piles of older manure can heat to 90 C, which is a worry for the owner and his insurance agent. The manure from these older piles has 35.4 lb. total nitrogen per tonne and 64.9 lb. per tonne of phosphorus pent oxide with dry matter of 30 percent.

The solids must be immediately applied to the land once out of the centrifuge or they will revert back to slurry if it rains during application.

They are transported a maximum of 50 km from the centrifuge to the field in a tarped truck.

Buyers pick up the product and are responsible for transportation and application. They have paid $5 to $25 per tonne in recent years. The product is applied to corn land or organic cropland at a rate of two tonnes per acre.

At least one Dutch hog producer is bucking the broker system of buying and selling manure.

The Nistelrode farm is an 1,800 sow to weanling operation that produces 2.4 million gallons of manure a year.

The owner does not want to depend on a broker who can dictate the prices and conditions of manure deals.

In his efforts to be independent, the operator runs two large vertical screw presses along with a series of storage cells. Manure initially runs from the barns into a large covered concrete storage tank, which has an agitation system to homogenize the manure.

Dutch law requires that all such pits be covered, regardless of the type of manure or processing stage.

Raw manure is pumped from the tank into the two elevated screw presses, which partially separate liquids from solids.

The solids are immediately trucked to an anaerobic biodigester 2.5 kilometres from the farm. This is a significant financial benefit to the farm because it eliminates the need for investment in an on-farm storage facility for solids.

However, the farm loses money on the liquid, which is pumped into a smaller aerobic tank. The nitrogen is removed by blowing it

off into the atmosphere, which eliminates the opportunity to recover the full economic value of the manure.

The few remaining solids settle to the bottom of the aerobic tank, which return to the screw presses for a second run at squeezing out remaining liquid.

The farm had originally built reed wetland to further remove nutrients, but this approach was unsuccessful.

The biodigester company needed a reliable supply of feedstock, so it paid to build the farm’s treatment system. In exchange, the farmer signed a seven year agreement, which includes transporting solids to the bio-gas plant. ron.lyseng@producer.com

he demand for pork, combined with stringent environmental regulations, has turned Holland into a hotbed of hog manure management innovation.

After seven years in the business of selling garden compost processed using a tunnel composter, entrepreneur Hans Hendrix set his sights on the lucrative hog slurry processing scene. His research guided him to invent the AgraSEP system, which uses a unique arrangement of vibrating screens to separate solids from liquids.

Agra-Gold consultants from Manitoba visited a 330 sow to weanling farm where Hendrix was running one of his unusual mobile systems. The farmer wanted the AgraSEP to extract enough solids from the manure to constitute 25 percent of the phosphorus. The farmer found it was easier to sell extracted solids than it was to sell raw manure. The solids coming out of Hendrix’s machine contained 55 to 66 pounds of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) per tonne.

The raw slurry was stored in pits under the barn. Although the age of the manure ranged from fresh-thatday to eight months old, it was agitated to create a homogenous slurry mixture that was pumped up to a hopper at the top of the AgraSEP trailer.

Gravity drops the slurry down to the first vibrating screen, which is 500 microns. Liquid falling through the top screen lands on the second stage, which sports a 70 micron vibrating screen.

Solids dance along the screens until they fall via gravity into a hopper that drops them into the screw press. The vibrating screens alone have already brought these solids down to a consistent dry matter content of 14 to 17 percent before they enter the screw press. The screw press has a 250 micron filter to remove more liquid and bring the dry matter content to

26 or 27 percent.

Liquid coming out of the screw press is pumped back up to the front of the line to go through the system again. Hendrix feels that with work, his system is capable of removing 35 percent of the P2O5.

The system Hendrix sells to farmers has a capacity of 5,500 gallons per hour and sells for $100,000. He is developing a larger unit with four vibrating screens and two screw presses, and a capacity of 22,000 gallons per hour. It will sell for $300,000. ron.lyseng@producer.com

anitoba’s provincial guidelines for estimating the availability of nitrogen from solid pig and dairy manures are crap, says a soil expert.

“Those formulas are way off,” said Don Flaten, a soil science professor at the University of Manitoba.

“They overestimate the amount of nitrogen that these manures provide over the short term.”

His comments are based on the findings of an eight-year study at the university’s Glenlea Research Station, a few kilometres south of Winnipeg.

Liquid pig manure, solid dairy manure and solid pig manure were applied either on an annual basis or intermittent basis in a variety of annual and perennial crop rotations.

Crop producers in Manitoba have been using a formula that says they will get 100 percent of the ammonia nitrogen and 25 percent of the organic nitrogen contained in the manure.

That may be the case with liquid manure, but it isn’t with solid manure. The research showed that only five to seven percent of organic nitrogen is released in the year following application.

It takes several years before the organic nitrogen is fully available. In addition, the decomposition process ties up some of the ammonium nitrogen.

Flaten said the guidelines were adopted from research conducted in southern Ontario. He suspects they do not translate to Manitoba because there is a lot more straw in Manitoba’s manure, which slows the decomposition process.

“The solid manures are releasing their nutrients much more slowly than we expected,” he said.

The good news is that slow releasing nitrogen eventually builds up in the soil.

“Now that the experiment is going into its eighth year, we’re actually starting to see substantial nitrogen release,” said Flaten.

The phosphorus story had opposite results.

“The potential to overload our soils with phosphorus is substantial, even though we’re undersupplying nitrogen,” he said.

“We expected that to happen to some degree but not to the extent we observed.”

Phosphorus levels “shot up dramatically” in soil tests to the point that the university would be in violation of the province’s phosphorus regulations if it didn’t have a special permit.

Soil in the continuous solid manure plots had 10 times more phosphorus than the synthetic fertilizer plots.

Flaten and his colleagues are developing new guidelines for growers based on the findings of the long-term study and other research.

In the meantime, he thinks growers should consider putting on a blend of synthetic fertilizer and solid manure to boost nitrogen levels.

They should also contemplate intermittent rather than annual application of solid manure.

“If you really wanted to rely on the solid manure as a nitrogen source, you would be grossly over-applying the amount of phosphorus,” he said.

Flaten said the findings of the Manitoba study should not be applied prairie-wide. Solid manure in southern Alberta may contain less straw because of milder winters, so it might not have as much difficulty decomposing.

Liquid manure is the largest component in pig waste, but solid manure is prevalent in the dairy sector, especially for smaller operations. sean.pratt@producer.com

guidelines misleading?

Diet, bedding, pH and storage all affect methane

ivestock produce some of the greenhouse gases attributed to global warming, and cattle are among the highest contributors.

Expelled gases are the biggest culprits, though manure itself is also a factor.

However, given the amount of manure that is produced, an estimated 20 kilograms per animal per day, its contribution to accumulated greenhouse gases is relatively low.

Manure produces methane and nitrous oxide, but the timing and amount are variable, depending on various factors, said Agriculture Canada senior research scientist Xiying Hao. “If it is very wet manure, you have a trace of methane emissions,” she said.

“As long as you have quite a bit of water in the manure, you will always have a trace of methane.

Most times with fresh manure, in the feedlot, you don’t see significant N2O emission.”

Hao has done numerous studies on feedlot cattle manure, much of it relating to greenhouse gas emissions and compost.

She has verified that animal diet, pH, type of bedding, storage and management all affect the amount of greenhouse gases that manure will produce.

Feedstuffs that slow the conversion of protein in the gut allow cattle to extract more nutrition, but results are mixed on whether that translates to lower greenhouse gas amounts in resulting manure.

Manure that has a higher pH will have higher ammonia loss, so a lower pH is more desirable, said Hao. Typically, manure has too much phosphorus and not enough nitrogen to be an ideal fertilizer.

More nitrogen is retained in the manure and it is more valuable as fertilizer if the pH is lowered through feeding practices.

Bedding also alters the pH and nitrogen-phosphorus ratio in manure.

“Typically in a feedlot, if you do use bedding, you use cereal straw and the pH is a bit higher … compared to wood chips,” said Hao. “Wood chips are much more acidic, so you lower the pH and more nitrogen will be retained in the manure. When you apply it to crop production, you need less nitrogen supplement.”

There is no significant difference in greenhouse gas emissions when manure produced with different bedding materials is composted, so Hao deems wood chip use to be a win-win situation, while acknowledging that producers are guided first by cost when choosing bedding material.

“It’s economic driven, but we do see that other benefit with it,” she said about wood chips.

Greenhouse gas emissions depend on the amount of nitrogen once manure is applied to soil.

XIYING HAO AGRICULTURE CANADA

“Whenever you have excess nitrogen in the soil, when conditions are right, then you will have N2O emission,” Hao said.

Methane is not an issue when manure is applied to soil.

Hao’s studies have included the effect of feeding dried distillers grain on manure and emissions, as well as feeding digestate from biofuel production.

She said composting does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions from manure, although it has other advantages.

“Composting is not so green in terms of methane emissions,” she said. “Some people say composting is a measure to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. That’s not true. But with composting, you do reduce the volume, reduce the weight, reduce the moisture.” barb.glen@producer.com

EMISSION CONTROL Alberta Agriculture recommends the following practices to reduce methane emissions from manure: • Apply manure to soil as soon as possible because storage encourages anaerobic decomposition, which increases methane emission.

• Avoid manure application when the soil is extremely wet.

• Avoid adding straw to manure because it is a food source for anaerobic bacteria, which produce methane.

• Choose livestock with good feed conversion.

• Increase digestibility of feed through processing so feed stays longer in digestive tract.

• Feed ionophores that reduce methane production.

• Add edible oils to feed, such as canola.

• Feed livestock based on sex, age and growth stage to match diet to nutritional requirements.

Practices to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from manure: • Apply manure shortly before crop growth so maximum nitrogen is available.

• Avoid applying manure in late fall and winter, which increases emissions and nitrogen loss in spring.

• Avoid manure application in hot, windy conditions.

• Manage soil and water to improve drainage, avoid soil compaction and increase aeration.

• Spread manure evenly and avoid excess.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Sewage challenges grow with cities In Calgary, waste is processed, sent to a lagoon and eventually ends up in farmers’ fields

BY SUZY THOMPSON FREELANCE WRITER

A

s cities grow, so does their sewage.

And with more sewage comes more sewage problems especially in booming communities like Calgary, which are increasingly challenged to find solutions for what to do with it all.

Most cities separate the sludge, referred to as biosolids, which is everything we flush down the toilet, from waste water.

The water is treated and returned to the system, while biosolids are held for years in lagoons. Since 1983 Calgary, like many cities, has spread its biosolids as fertilizer on nearby farmland.

“We’ve got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of lagoon systems in

the province,” said Craig Reich, a municipal approvals technologist for the Alberta government.

“Each one of them, on the average of 10 and 15 years, have to take the sludge out of their cells and put it to agricultural land.”

Reich said the use of human biosolids on farmland is regulated to ensure the soil and food grown on it is safe. The soil must maintain a neutral pH, must not be too rich in phosphorus and nitrogen, and cannot be overly sandy or clay-based.

“If it’s clay, it could be really difficult to work the biosolids in and break down,” he said. “If you put this kind of material on sandy soil and it rains or whatever, it will drive whatever nutrients through the sand and into the local ground water.”

The biosolids are also monitored, Reich said, “to make sure that there’s

no kind of weird and wonderful things in there that are generally in biosolids,” such as heavy metals or pathogens.

Also, the land cannot be used for crops like root vegetables because heavy metals and toxins in the soil accumulate in the edible parts of the plant.

Calgary uses Terra-Gator trucks to inject the biosolids about 10 centimetres under the topsoil to aid rapid microbial breakdown and prevent digging animals from spreading pathogens from the soil.

The city’s biosolids spreading program, called Calgro, spreads about 20 million kilograms of biosolids every year on farmland within a 50 kilometre radius of Calgary, about 70 percent of the total sewage produced.

In February 2013, Calgary revealed its sewage lagoons were 20 percent over-capacity and problems are mounting.

The province limits the amount and frequency at which sludge can be applied to farmland, and the municipal population increases by about 35,000 people every year. This means the city is now desperately searching for new solutions.

“If we dig deeper lagoons or build more lagoons, all we would really be doing is building space for more accumulation and creating a larger stockpile.

“What the city would prefer to do is develop a more resilient and sustainable biosolids management plan,” said Calgro program specialist Natasha Harckham.

Calgary has come up with three ideas. The first is to use a centrifuge to

reduce the water content of sludge from 95 percent to about 75 percent, making it easier to handle and store.

Second, administration wants human biosolids to be added to a food and yard waste composting program set to begin in 2017.

“There are other municipalities here in Alberta that do that. Primarily Edmonton, also Medicine Hat and Okotoks and Fort McMurray all do that,” Harckham said of adding biosolids to city compost.

She said pasteurized human waste can be mixed with other compost materials and sold for garden use as Class A compost without restrictions.

The city’s largest test project to alleviate the abundant sewage problem involves applying it in much greater quantities than provincial regulations normally allow to turn marginal agricultural land into fertile soil.

Its two primary demonstration projects began this spring. One involved planting 400 acres with willow saplings. The other consisted of 1,000 acres of canola and wheat on substandard land.

Vancouver-based biosolids and waste management company Sylvis is contracted to operate the five-year projects. Team leader John Lavery said Sylvis uses traditional agricultural parameters to measure the crops’ success under heavy biosolid application.

“We’ll be looking at protein content and seed oil content... how much fresh and dry weight in a sq. metre of area.... Does the application of the biosolids lead to too heavy a seed crop, which results in lodging and can we manage that?

“With respect to the willows, we’ll be looking at crude biomass, so essentially how much wood has grown,” Lavery said.

Sylvis is trying willow because it is a fast-growing, woody plant that manages in a range of difficult growing conditions and can quickly produce material ideal for use as mulch, a compost feedstock or even biofuel. It can also be repeatedly cut back to its base and regrow from the root without adverse effects to the plant’s health.

The project plans to harvest the willow every three years.

Lavery and Harckham said they are excited by the crops’ early success.

Harckham said the willow saplings are already five feet tall.

If the projects are successful, Harckham and Lavery said it would demonstrate to the province that human waste can be safely used to grow a large supply of crop and improve soil quality on land that was virtually useless before.

“The willows stay in place for about 30 years,” Lavery said. “The trees take up nutrients and then release them back into the ground through their leaf litter because they drop their leaves every year. So we have 30 years of accumulated organic biomass and the materials required to really nourish and sustain really sandy marginal soils.

“The bright idea behind the willows is we hope that over that period of time we take a Class 4 or 5 agricultural land and turn it into a 1 or 2 by virtue of being able to change the soil ... and at the same time we’re able to take biomass off of it every three years,” he said.

ZOO POO

Common compost can have exotic origins The Calgary Zoo contributes many tonnes of manure to the city’s waste recycling program

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

F

armers have it relatively easy when it comes to handling their animals’ waste.

Manure from corrals and barns simply gets hauled to the field as added organic matter.

But where does zoo poo go?

The 37 tonnes of manure from the Calgary Zoo is recycled into compost through the city’s recycling program and used for gardening.

The zoo can buy the compost back for its gardens at a reduced fee.

Manure from Edmonton’s Valley Zoo is also turned into compost and used on the zoo’s environmental gardens.

Officials don’t have an exact figure on the amount of manure produced by the zoo animals.

However, manure disposal is a different story at the Toronto Zoo, one of the largest zoos in Canada.

The Toronto Zoo has hired ZooShare to develop a plan to turn animal waste into electricity through North America’s first zoo biogas plant.

Nicholas Guthrie, investor relations co-ordinator with ZooShare, said the zoo is still looking for investors to help build the biogas plant, which will turn the 3,000 tonnes of annual zoo manure and 14,000 tonnes of food waste from a grocery store chain into

The $5.4 million project hopes to raise funds through community bonds. It will be used to build a 500 kilowatt facility, which will produce one-third of the zoo’s electricity demand and reduce its carbon footprint.

ZooShare hopes to make money by selling electricity back to the electri-

cal grid, charging to recycle waste and selling compost to farmers and gardeners.

Guthrie said funding delays and bureaucracy have delayed construction of the biodigestor. The zoo plans to start construction in spring and have it operating by fall.

An investor has promised $3 million if the group can raise another

$1.9 million. As of September, the group has raised slightly more than $1 million.

The zoo now hauls its manure across the highway and places it in long windrows until it is turned into compost, which is used in the zoo’s gardens.

Th based in Calgary, where e company is all the equipment is manufactured and dis tributed.

magine pouring thousands of litres of soupy manure through a series of filters and generating clean, clear water.

It is the premise of Livestock Water Recycling, a Calgary company that has sold its patented units to dairy and hog farms in Canada and the United States.

Milking parlour technology has advanced over the years, but manure management has not kept up, says Ross Thurston, the company’s chief executive officer.

There is plenty of manure on the average livestock operation, and government regulations stipulate how it must be removed, stored and eventually returned to the land.

A 2013 Alberta Agriculture study that focused on dairy farms discovered that an individual cow may produce as little as 2,000 litres to more than 80,000 litres of manure a year.

It is eventually removed from barns, sent to a lagoon and spread on farmland.

There is plenty of bulk in manure to add organic material to the soil, but phosphorus and nitrogen may not be applied at the right amounts.

Under current practices, manure leaves the barn and sits in storage for several months. This allows the ammonia to “degas” from the manure, which loses up to 70 percent of the manure’s nitrogen value.

As well, some operations are running out of land while others want a more environmentally friendly solution.

Land shortages and water pollution are a greater issue for American dairies, where more than 2,000

cows per dairy are common. American farms have fewer options when it comes to getting rid of waste. They also need more water.

“They run into operational issues because the cows don’t stop making manure,” Thurston said.

Some units have been sold in Canada, but most of the business has been with large dairies in New York, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin. These states are confronted with the problem of runoff into the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay and smaller lakes and streams.

The company has been working on waste-water treatment since 1990, but it was not until about 2005 that thoughts turned to manure.

“There are lots of devices out there for an astronomical cost. We had to make something that was customer friendly,” Thurston said.

Plumbers, engineers and welders custom build each unit in a southeast Calgary industrial area.

“The system is a standard. The process we developed is different every time because each manure has its own type of solids and its own type of electrolytes,” he said.

“We set up our chemistry around those things.”

The system requires 6,000 to 10,000 sq. feet of space and eliminates the need for new lagoons.

“It eliminates the need for 2,000 acres of land,” Thurston said.

“If you are going to have a big dairy in the U.S., you have to own or control the land that you are going to take your manure to.”

The entire unit, which includes filters, pipes and a hopper to receive manure, can be producing clean water within two hours of installation.

The filters separate solid components, including phosphorus and nitrogen, which won’t run off into water bodies when applied to fields.

In the first step, the effluent from the barn is pumped into an equalization tank and then pumped into the system, where it is filtered through a series of self cleaning membranes, where finer and finer particles are removed at each stage.

Pathogens cannot pass through the membranes, and elements such as ammonia are c onverte d to ammonium so that the salt stays in the fertilizer rather than volatilize from the land.

“That is a big problem with manure value,” Thurston said.

“You lose all your nitrogen that is the ammonia form becaus e it comes off when you apply it. We capture it.”

The process also reduces odour which will improve neighbour relations and create a more pleasant work environment for employees.

“We have the capacity to deal with the organics, we can deal with the salt levels that are in manure,” he said.

“That is a critical feature of what we have developed here.”

Seventy-five percent of the separated material comes back as clean water, which can be used to wash barns and animals or go into irrigation systems.

The system is computerized and can be operated off site with an iPad. This is particularly useful for remote problem solving, he added.
