Animal effluent and waste, and associated disposal issues, are becoming an increasing focus for rural industry bodies and government agencies. Farmers and operators are now increasingly faced with the need to capture the value of nutrients, reduce water usage, and minimise the disposal of effluent into waterways and the environment.

Whether you work with animals – livestock and abattoirs – or in food production, processing and associated industries, you are probably dealing with the same inter-related issues of effluent disposal and odour management.

• odour from intensive farming activities increasingly lead to many problems for farmers including complaints from neighbours, local councils, EPA and industry bodies
• piggeries, dairies, poultry farms or feedlots suffer from image problems with every encroaching urban community
• effluent discharge into waterways is being increasingly regulated
• the inherent nutrient value in effluent and water usage regulation, encourages the treatment and  reuse of effluent via irrigation.
