Best management practices for biosolids land application

Pdf created from MU Extension webpage, July 2022."Biosolids is domestic wastewater sludge that meets standards for use as a fertilizer or soil conditioner. These standards include monitoring requirements, metal limitations, pathogen reduction, vector requirements and best management practices. Applying biosolids to land uses the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash as fertilizer for growing crops. It is an environmentally sound practice sanctioned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Reusing biosolids on crops, pastures and timberland reduces water pollution. It eliminates the environmental risks and costs associated with sludge disposal options, benefiting all Missourians."--Page 1.Reviewed by David Brune (Department of Agricultural Engineering), Ken Arnold (Chief of Land Application, Missouri Department of Natural Resources), John Dunn (Environmental Engineer, Environmental Protection Agency Region VII), Jerry D.

Swine farrowing and nursery unit

"This unit is designed for use with individual farrowing houses. It provides an economical system for farrowing and raising feeder pigs.
