Re: [Fwd: N&O article on hog farm regs (fwd)]




Lawrence,

There is an Animal and Poultry Waste Management Center at NCSU.  (In fact our
research was funded in part by them.)  They also have a website

http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/waste_mgt/

My knowledge of systems is limited.  I feel that better use of swine and poultry
manures can be accomplished through the composting and applying to fields in
that manner.  (Less runoff, better plant disease control, less likelihood of
mammalian pathogens, plus it smells better!)
