Video Case Studies
Full session video. Individual presentations are linked to the presentation title.Anaerobic Digesters in Utah | Smithfield Foods has recently installed anaerobic digesters at their swine production facility in Milford, UT. This operation converts the methane produced to a renewable natural gas. |
Improving Organic Grazing Systems | View the work being conducted by several scientists at the Utah State University Intermountain Irrigated Pasture Research facility to improve organic dairy grazing systems. Research examines the use of grass-legume mixtures and their impact on rates of gain, nutrient cycling, reproduction, and economic returns. |
Alternative Management Strategies for Land Receiving Manure and Lagoon Water in Idaho | The purpose of this video is to highlight the potential ways that cropping system management can help overcome nutrient management challenges faced by dairymen in southern Idaho. The video features an environmental consultant and a dairyman discussing cropping rotations and management strategies that can reduce soil nutrient accumulations by manure and lagoon water application. |
Use of centrifuges for dairy manure solid-liquid separation | This video showcases the use of centrifuge technology for secondary solid-liquid separation on two Idaho dairies. |
Ammonia and odor reduction while retaining nutrients, a dairy producer experience in Idaho | This video describes a southern Idaho dairy farmer's technology use, including dairy slurried manure application using a drag hose and subsurface injection system. It also highlights a pilot zeolite filter trial at his farm that resulted in significant ammonia and odors emission reduction from a dairy flush pit. |
