Sustaining The Herd
Sustaining the Herd is a resource for all things related to sustainability in animal agriculture. We hope to deliver value to listeners by interviewing industry leaders as well as producers involved in sustainability projects. Every two weeks, we'll give a practical perspective on new technologies as well as new rules and regulations affecting the adoption of sustainability-related technologies such as anaerobic digestion and the production of renewable energy.

Manure Management for Digester Developers 101: Water, Hoof Blocks, and Neck Chains
Why is there so much water in dairy manure? What makes for a good anaerobic digestion feedstock? Why is there sand and grit in manure? Sit down with Andrew and Brock to discover answers to these questions and more as they dig into manure management for anaerobic digestion. There are several key considerations for producers and project developers to keep in mind when working to develop an anaerobic digester project on a livestock operation. Andrew and Brock approach these considerations from several angles to help project stakeholders think about what they could encounter.
