Converting feces to water

Hello folks, hope you all doing fine. See I am hoping to start a livestock farm, and I was thinking of ways to save energy by recycling water. My question is, is there a machine out there that can compress the livestock feces in order to extract the water (which will obviously include water used to clean their sheds) in order to recycle? So what I'm looking for is like a compressor or something like that.

We had a "greenwater" wash system on our holding yard, it was just a weeping-wall separation setup, but certainly saved a heap of fresh water being used up. Solids and sludge stay behind, liquid sprayed on pasture. Then you can target the sludge where its most needed and the remainder is basically just green water.
Only fresh water useage was hosing out the shed itself and cleaning the plant/BMT
