Viewers learn about the various treatment options available for dealing with milkhouse wastewater, with the focus primarily on small dairies.
This webinar instructs viewers on milkhouse waste production and its characteristics, such as high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and consisting of manure solids and liquids, bedding, wasted feed, and milkhouse wastewater. While an issue for all dairies, small farms are challenged to adequately address milkhouse wastewater. Pre-treatment options of milkhouse waste are reviewed to help viewers select from several treatment alternatives. Similar to working with manure management, each livestock operation is unique and no one option addresses all milkhouse wastewater concerns. Benefits and limitations of the various alternatives are outlined, and a list of references and resources useful in designing and laying out a milkhouse wastewater treatment system are provided. By understanding these properties and issues, viewers can make more informed decisions to recommend/select a treatment system. NOTE: Much of the material presented is adapted from information prepared by the University of Minnesota Cooperative Extension.
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
