Manure presents a challenge for large-scale farms. Growing herd sizes, in combination with high land costs, have increased the amount of manure farmers manage, while reducing land available for manure disposal. Furthermore, research indicates that manure application can result in nutrient runoff, which in turn, can result in ground and surface water contamination.

Manure nutrient recovery via organics granulation is a viable solution to help alleviate the aforementioned issues. Through an advanced series of processes, FEECO’s custom equipment can transform raw manure into a dry, granular product. Granulation provides a multitude of benefits, including:

      • Enhanced nutrient management.
      • Additional source of revenue.
      • The creation of a premium product.
      • Reduced opportunity for runoff.
      • Reduced waste management expenses.
      • Improved product handling, transportation, and application.
