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.

Nutrient Management - The Achilles Heel of Feedlot Anaerobic Digestion Projects
Picture this...feedlot manure has been collected from roller compacted concrete pens, fed into an anaerobic digester, and made a lot of renewable natural gas...so now what? There's digestate to handle! And make no mistake - handling liquid digestate (and a lot of it) is a significant departure from the status quo of feedlot manure management. Join Andrew and Brock as they discuss what they're seeing when it comes to the challenges associated with integrating digestate handling into feedlot manure management. If you're an anaerobic digester project developer or livestock producer considering AD, this is one you won't want to miss.
