Alternative Dairy Effluent Management with farmer Brad Boley & Dr Stephan Tait
Talkin' After Hours with the Lower Blackwood LCDC - A podcast by Lower Blackwood LCDC
Categories:
In this Talkin' After Hours podcast , Jo & Kate talk to A2 milk producer Brad Boley, & University of Southern Queensland Research Fellow, Dr Stephan Tait about an alternative way to manage dairy effluent. In 2019 a trial of manure separation was conducted on Brad’s farm using a commercial dewatering/filtering equipment called the Z-Filter. The aim of manure separation is to provide options for dairy farmers to beneficially utilise nutrients and organic material in effluent, whilst simultaneously reducing the risk of causing environmental harm to waterways and groundwater.
