Microbes are abundant in manure and food waste. Harnessing and/or controlling microbial action in a treatment process is challenging - but some technologies are making headway. This webinar will present pilot-scale research for manure and food waste treatment. One project focuses on electrochemical means of hydrogen sulfide mitigation in dairy manure, while supporting beneficial anaerobic digestion microbes. A second project will focus on solid state fermentation of food waste. The third technology is plasma technology to enhance manure value as fertilizer. These presentations will highlight successes, challenges for scale-up, and open the door to discussion for translation to other manure or waste systems.
An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) will be submitted.
Presenters include:
- Bo Hu, University of Minnesota
- Lingkan Ding, University of Minnesota
- Jason Oliver, Cornell University
Handouts (PDF format) will be available the day of the webinar at the live webinar information page. Find out more about this webinar and future webinars by the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community (LPELC).
