By Lianne Derocco


Swine production is a big industry, the reason that there are many business people into this agricultural industry because of the big rewards they get. This kind of agricultural business however has a lot of problems also. Agricultural waste or the disposal of hog waste is one of these, aside from other problems that the business can have. There are regulations regarding this concern because of its effect to people and also the environment. If not properly contained and disposed of, serious problems will be faced by the owners.

One concern that business owners have to face is the proper management of agricultural waste products and its proper disposal. The farm company can construct containment lagoons or waste manure tanks and these are for proper disposal of hog waste and waste water. If the waste water in the lagoons leak and seeps into the water table in the area, this can pose a serious problem for the business owner. It will be a huge disaster if this happens because there are problems in the waste disposal management and leakages are not checked.

Solutions for agricultural waste disposal have to be found and implemented for the efficient waste management methods to be in place. The proper disposal of hog waste and not only this but also the proper collection and proper storage of waste water and manure in the lagoons, are parts in this good system in waste management. This is the whole swine production method, the important part of waste disposal management included.

Sludge forms in the lagoons, and there are several reasons why these form in the manure tanks and lagoons. If there is inadequate agitation of the hog waste and waste water, sludge can form, especially if this happens over a long period of time. In the lagoons, sludge form from the waste materials and this can include the excess and uneaten feeds that go with the waste. Sludge removal is very important, and not only for these reasons. Foul odor can be emitted and released to the environment which is not good, and this comes from the sludge and crust formed.

There has to be swine waste management methods that have to be effective and the removal and disposal of waste water and manure have to be efficiently done and stored in the lagoons and pits. This can be done, the collection and storage of manure and waste water, but treatments have to be done also in order to lessen the environmental hazardous effects. Biological treatments can be done and these are with expected good results also.

Lagoon Activator and AgraSphere are products for the biological treatment of waste water and manure in the waste lagoons and pits. The lagoon Activator is a concentrated blend of natural bacteria and enzymes that will effectively establish a balanced environment in the lagoons. This is best when used together with AgraSphere, a safe and natural biodegradable product that will prevent and reduce sludge and crust formation in the lagoons. It is a product that is ready to use and just thrown around the pits without no need for mixing. It is a time-release product, thus will just work on its own in the pits.
