YesSo your current slurry handling is poor and insufficient

Slurry gives off ammonia when it comes into contact with the air, the roofs minimise the volatilisation so it is retained in the slurry, it also stops rain water getting inSo if slurry is giving off ammonia how are we going to collect it if we cover a store, and what are we going to do with it once we’ve collected it?? Do we have to pay a disposal charge to get rid of the ammonia?
Or does just chucking a floating cover over a lagoon stop it producing ammonia?
These are questions someone should ask before we are told to spend thousands on roofs and covers
Apparently thats what they do in Holland. Chopped strawHave heard rumors a chopped straw crust will be allowed, when we bedded 100 cows with a round bale a day in cubicles you could very near walk on the crust by end of the winter surely a biogradable recycled cover like chopped straw would be perfect?!?
they will be asking us to stop livestock crapping/peeing in fields next!Covering slurry stores is nothing to do with climate change and methane.
It is to prevent ammonia emissions that combine with other particles. This then Kills people.
Below is I know a guardian article but the science is the same science as the govt is working from. This air pollution will be stopped.
Do not do that they do not float & are a night mare , we have a man that put these in his lagoonI was recently told about Clay based small pellets that float across your a lagoo!? Surely when we come to mix our stores to spread slurry the gasses will all get released anyway?
No crapping and peeing in fields is good. The mixing of sh!t and urine creates the ammonia. In the field the urine soaks straight in and never mixes with the sh!t.they will be asking us to stop livestock crapping/peeing in fields next!
seems mad all this going on when there are billionaires using up worlds resources and causing levels of pollution equal to a small country just to say they have been to space.
The way it’s going it may be easier to cover the whole farm with a poly tunnel so the cows can graze all year round, on the other hand farming in Chile, where the climate allows this, looks more appealing.No crapping and peeing in fields is good.

We will however have cow housing in the future that tries to keep the sh!t and urine separate.
when the umbilical contractor came to spread slurry, he wanted us to get more rainwater in so it was liquid enough to spread, so what is the answer? Ban splash plates, so contractor is used with an injector, roof store to keep rainwater out, divert gutters into store to make the slurry more fluid so it spreads with the umbilical system. Don't use a contractor to spread slurry (due to the chances of spreading TB as well as other diseases), advice from the Vet during a TB breakdown visit, however small farm with small suckler herd so can't afford a tanker with injector so have to use a contractor then!Slurry gives off ammonia when it comes into contact with the air, the roofs minimise the volatilisation so it is retained in the slurry, it also stops rain water getting in
sorry, roughly 625000 gallonWhy a you all using m3 as your size reference?
I've got fed up converting it to gallons so I can understand how big you're talking

75m3/ha = 6750 galls/acre.... 50m3/ha= 4500galls/acre... 22m3/ha= 200galls/acresorry, roughly 625000 gallon
Just do what you have always, done.when the umbilical contractor came to spread slurry, he wanted us to get more rainwater in so it was liquid enough to spread, so what is the answer?

Have I misunderstood but isn't the main problem that ammonia joins withe particles from combustion and creates the pm 2.5There is actually no science to prove PM 2.5 from ammonia causes any harm to humans only a presumption because PM 2.5 from combustion does so it could all be for no benefit what so ever .
Yeah, kind of grates that particles from combustion get a free run, but that’s the issue.Have I misunderstood but isn't the main problem that ammonia joins withe particles from combustion and creates the pm 2.5
