HOW TO REGISTER / JOIN


This webinar will provide an in depth look at aeration technologies used to maintain pumpable manure in deep pits beneath dairy and beef slatted floor facilities. The session will cover the motivation behind adopting aeration systems, including challenges with agitation, high solids manure, hydrogen sulfide risks, and confined space safety concerns. Drawing from New York installations and ongoing Cornell PRO DAIRY research, the presentation will discuss system design considerations, operational lessons learned, impacts on manure handling logistics, and observed improvements in barn air quality. Practical guidance, common pitfalls, and resources for further learning will be included to support NRCS engineers working with producers considering these systems.
Introduce a novel aeration-based approach for maintaining pumpable manure in deep pits beneath dairy and beef slatted floor facilities. Highlight ongoing Cornell PRO DAIRY research on system performance in beef operations and share updated findings, operational considerations, and safety implications.
