The traditional method of spreading effluent utilises an electric pump with a travelling irrigator, but there are other methods that could increase reach and efficiency. With many farms under utilising paddocks, equipment such as slurry tankers and hose reelers have the potential to spread effluent faster with less hassle. Travelling Irrigator Travelling irrigators are generally […]
Getting a paddock back into rotation aftermspreading effluent can be approached either with an umbilical system, or a slurry tanker. With a RainWaveTM attachment or trailing shoe system on a slurry tanker, a paddock can easily be irrigated often to maintain optimal nutrients. Preparing Paddocks There are limitations in where effluent can be applied when […]
Fabian is able to access 70% more of the farm with greater capacity to grow grass and increased days in milk.
It’s not! By changing how you view and use farm dairy effluent (FDE), you can improve your farms soil health and inturn increase profit on your dairy farm. Soil Biology: The Hidden Gem Beneath Your Feet Let’s dive into soil biology – the fascinating world beneath your boots. Your soil is teeming with life, from […]
By upgrading to a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker, Ben says, “The cost analysis is looking great.” They can now deliver 300 cubic metres in the same amount of time, nearly tripling their capability.
The factors to consider when calculating how many loads you can manage in a day is dependent on the size of the slurry tanker, the type of loading mechanism on the tanker, the spreading applicator system, and the distance you have to travel when transporting the effluent. Slurry Tanker Size Farmers who are using a […]
There are several benefits of a Trailing Shoe for effluent management. These are outlined below: Application Directly Under Crops One of the main benefits of a trailing shoe is able to apply effluent directly under crops with accurate placement, which allows for less wind drift and minimal odour reaching to other areas. A trailing shoe […]
Manage Effluent from a Slatted Floor Cow Barn A slurry tanker is the best way to remove the top layer of effluent because of its ability suck the slurry layer through a vacuum. With only requiring one farm worker to load and apply effluent, it gives the ability for smaller runs more regularly, or the […]
Durability of Galvanised Steel Galvanised steel coating is better than paint in effluent equipment for a number of reasons. Zinc-iron alloy layers of hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) steel coating are durable in nature and have a rare need for maintenance, unlike field touch-ups that are required for painted bare steel. Zinc Paint vs. Galvanised Steel Paint […]
Benefits of a Slurry Tanker Unlimited Reach Slurry tankers have unlimited reach across multiple paddocks and areas of operation. A slurry tanker allows you to reach a greater area without concern of toxic build up over time that could create health problems for animals. Whether you have long or irregular shaped paddocks, a slurry tanker […]
Increases Water Holding Capacity Irrigating has the ability to improve paddocks by increasing the water holding capacity of the soil to ensure the pasture recovers effectively. One approach to applying effluent to assist with improving pasture conditions is to utilise a Nevada RainWave™ Applicator. With a gentle low-pressure rain pattern and the ideal heavy droplet […]
To spread effluent further down the farm, Alan invested in a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker to complete his effluent system design.
