Our photo this week shows granulated cattle manure. FEECO’s organics granulation system transformed the dewatered dairy manure into dry granules, as seen in the photo.

FEECO’s granulation systems are the ideal solution for turning organic waste into a valuable product. Fertilizer granules from organic materials offer many benefits over their raw counterparts, including:

    • Improved product handling- granules are dry and compact, compared to raw manure.
    • Storing capabilities- while raw manure must be immediately used to reap the benefits, granules can be stored for later use.
    • Farther transportation- granules cost significantly less to transport, reducing the limitations on transportation that raw manure presents.
    • Consistent nutrient delivery- nutrients in unprocessed manure vary. Granules contain a steady amount of nutrients, making them ideal for spreading on crops.

FEECO will be exhibiting at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI, from September 30- October 4, 2014. Stop by the booth to learn more about organics granulation systems and FEECO’s storied history in the agricultural industry, or contact one of our experts today!
