Ohio's farms — over 75,000 of them — could capture bio-gas from
livestock manure by using bio-digesters with a potential for 165 million kilowatt hours annually.
Now scientists have discovered that those drugs are sprouting up in unexpected places: Vegetables such as corn, potatoes and lettuce absorb antibiotics when grown in soil fertilized
with livestock manure, according to tests conducted at the University of Minnesota.
Bilbao describes the advantages of the envisioned concept: «With our mineral fertiliser salt and organic soil improver products, synthetic phosphate fertilisers are saved and overfertilisation from the application of
livestock manure on the agricultural fields is prevented.
Besides non-renewable reserves, alternative phosphate resources include municipal wastewater and agricultural organic residues such
as livestock manure or digestate from biogas plants.
These bacteria and other organisms will contaminate the cow and
other livestock manure because of the food they have been fed.
The shift from factory farm production of milk, meat, and eggs by returning to mixed crop - livestock operations facilitates nutrient recycling as local farmers
return livestock manure to the land.
But
livestock manure also produces methane as it decomposes in closed - air containers known as lagoons, which factory farming operations often use to store the massive amounts of manure produced by their farms.
Agricultural emissions arise principally from cropland soil management, rice cultivation, ruminant livestock and
livestock manure management, all of which emit Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Methane (CH4).
It outlines livestock's potential as a renewable energy source, through the use of cost - effective technologies such as biogas systems that can stem methane emissions from
livestock manure by recovering the gas and using it as an energy source in alternative to wood / charcoal or fossil fuel.
Nitrogen or NPK is going to be recycled
from livestock manure, from the biogas digester residues and the algae grown on it.
In the real world:
Livestock manure is one of the largest sources of pollution in the nation.
