Manure Management, Odor and Diseases Control Livestock Producers are going through much criticism for creating pollution and diseases problems. In the mean time farmers having production problems (costly manure handling, high energy consumption, medicine cost and most important barn is not save working place).

Idea sounds good and practical but in all designs I have seen canals leading to pit/septic tanks. Do u foresee any challenges in using sufficiently sized pipes to maintain flows and avoid settling of solids? This can be designed with branched feeders into a main line to preliminary treatment. Wash down would be simplier for a smooth surface flow even minimising water volumes?
Another advantage can be that the pipe can be placed externally so parallel buildings can use same main. Wash downs can be scheduled in a staggered manner so pipe does not need to be overdesigned.
Having said the above I guess it comes down to economies of scale? Your thoughts?
