Farm management has become a central focus of the farming industry in the 21st century. In order to manage a successful farm with excellent housing facilities for a large number of livestock, it is highly essential that slurry management and how this slurry will then be utilised are factored in as a core element from the first inception of the farm. Consequently, it is advisable to build a waste management policy, in advance, that is compliant, sustainable and environmentally friendly for your farm.

Whether your farm has dairy cows, beef cattle or pigs, these animals will need the correct slurry removal and storage procedures to keep their housing clean and free of potential infectious risks. In turn, the farmer should invest in efficient slurry solutions to help them in getting the most out of their slurry, for when spreading season rolls around and they require fertiliser for their silage fields and grazing.

Nowadays some slurry management tasks have become automated thanks to advances in technology. Some farmers have adapted to this new technology in the industry, whereas others are stuck in their old ways. Dairypower is one of the market leaders in this industry, providing several bespoke and extremely safe solutions to all your slurry management needs. This can result in your slurry handling being reduced and streamlined, in order to run your business as efficiently and ecologically as possible.

There are numerous ways in which farmers can take advantage of their livestock waste and slurry. It is well known that animal slurry is rich in nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, therefore never underestimate the quantity of this waste that your livestock can produce.

Dairypower has created the class-leading Smart Slurry Aeration System which is an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional methods of tractor agitation. Due to the method of operation of this system, air bubbles are blown into the base of the tank by means of a roots-style blower pump, the physical rising action of these bubbles keeps the slurry in a homogenous, pumpable state. This is where the name ‘aeration’ applies. This air bubble aeration avoids the production of harmful toxic gases and increases the Nitrogen content available in the slurry. This Nitrogen increase can reach up to 70%, which is a huge increment and will greatly impact the yield of your crops, silage or grazing.

This is fantastic for promoting the growth of grass, as Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients to ensure that grass grows well. With an extra availability of 70% Nitrogen, this should result in a 14% yield increase for your grass. This will reduce the need for chemical fertilisers and save a lot of money for the farmer!

At Dairypower we have created some of the most cost-effective solutions to save your chequebook and bank account! Our innovative products were designed to reduce running costs as much as possible, and this has become very important with the increase in energy and fertiliser prices in early 2022 which have persisted throughout the year. Because most of our products are automated you will not have to pay farm workers to perform these tasks. This will result in a reduction of labour costs as these workers can perform more important tasks at the same time that our automated systems are doing the relentless jobs for you.
