Advanced Methods of Dairy Farm Waste Disposal

Dairy industry wastewater generally has fats, lactose, whey proteins, nutrients which lead play an important role to increase the biological oxygen demand of water. With milk components also wastewater contain detergents and sanitizing agents which are the result of cleaning process increase the concentration of chemical oxygen demand. Dairy effluent contains mostly organic waste therefore, biological degradation is the most promising options for the removal of organic material. However, sludge formed, especially during the aerobic biodegradation processes, can lead to serious and costly disposal problems.

As we are moving towards higher production, both through increasing population of animals at our farms as well as increasing per head production efficiently, dairy farm handling must also be efficient. Therefore, I find this an excellent article full of all related information regarding modern dairy farm waste management.

Good and valuable information, but depend on farm size, larger farms can produce more wast than medium and small farms, more waste could produce more biogas, but largely depend type of feed and feeding methods. Thanks.
