Introduction Dairy farms are coming under increasing pressure to control the odors from their operations. Often nutrient management plans designed to protect water quality prescribe manure storage. Stored manure can produce objectionable odors, creating a conflict with neighbors. By comparing two feasible alternatives to manure handling that achieve odor control, agricultural engineers and producers will be better able to chose an effective and economically viable system for farms. These systems improve neighbor relations, reduce the impact on the environment, and will help provide for sustainable development of the dairy industry. Objective The objectives of this paper are to show the material flow, nutrient content, and costs of two different manure handling systems. The advantages and disadvantages of each system are described so that managers can decide if either system will meet their needs as a manure handling system. Farm A This dairy farm is a 500 cow operation located in a rural community in south central NY. The farm is owned and managed by one family. They are in the process of completing their business plan goal of milking 1,000 cows. However, water quality and odor concerns from the community that their land surrounds has led them to choose a manure handling system that will both allow them to utilize the nutrients in the manure and allow them to control odors produced by the manure. Figure 1 shows the layout of Farm A's buildings and manure handling system. There is a planned 500 cow freestall to the West of the existing milking center. The milking center and bunk silo are sized to meet the capacity of a 1,000 cow herd. Their original plan was to expand rapidly to a 1,000 cow herd. 2PDF Image | ANAEROBIC DIGESTION AND WETLAND TREATMENT CASE STUDY: COMPARING TWO MANURE ODOR CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR DAIRY FARMS
