Stabilized litter for dairy cows: optimization of the use of litter derived from the solid fraction separated from manure

Obiettivi
Objectives

The objective of the Operational Group is to evaluate the impact of the use of the litter obtained from the solid/liquid separation of manure in the Parmigiano-Reggiano district by testing an innovative technology.

Activities

• test the litter employment stabilized in cubicle stables;
• fine tuning of the machinery system;
• define the operational capacity of the machinery system;
• analyze three cases-studies of actual application of the prototype in the dairy farms;
• assess the technical results;
• analyze the actual impact on the production costs and farm profitability;
• compare the costs and benefits of traditional straw bedding and stabilized litter options;
• training and dissemination of results

Pratice abstract
Description

The widespread diffusion of manure treatment by mechanical separation led farmers to evaluate the opportunity to use the solid fraction derived from such treatment not only as fertilizer, but also as bedding material for dairy cows. Even if this system shows relevant economic benefits due to the saving on purchase and storage of traditional materials (straw, wood shavings or sawdust) it is not commonly used in Emilia Romagna, because of the potential sanitary risks related to milk quality.
A company in the province of Reggio Emilia has developed an innovative technology of dynamic bio-cell / aero-cell sanitizing system that allows the sanitation and stabilization of the litter, so that is possible to use the material excluding hygienic hazards. The Operational group will test and evaluate the applicability and the effectiveness of this technology in the Parmigiano Reggiano area, with the final aim to improve animal welfare, the quality of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and to reduce the environmental impact and costs production.
