Animal Waste Disposal: Challenges & Interventions in Dutch & Global Animal Production, Slides of Marketing Management

The challenges of animal waste disposal in the context of industrial animal production in the netherlands, with a focus on the two-year moratorium, mineral accounting system, and livestock buyout program. It also explores interventions to improve animal welfare and environmental sustainability, such as feed inputs, controlling stocking density, decreasing geographic concentration, dry waste handling, treating animal waste, and limiting cafos. The document also mentions the worldwide scope of the issue and the need for global interventions.

Animal Waste Disposal in the Netherlands

 Lots of food animals and very little land

10,000,000 hogs; 81,000,000 chickens; and 2,400,000 dairy cows

 Two-year moratorium

 Mineral accounting system

Similar to a nutrient management plan

Large operations with less land were affected

Minimal costs to small farmers

 Livestock buyout program

 Results indicate that voluntary programs don’t work

Worldwide Scope of Industrial Animal Production

 Problems with industrial food animal production (IFAP) are not

limited to the United States

 As the U.S. tightens regulations and enforcement of clean air and

water laws, companies are moving their operations overseas to

countries with little or no environmental or labor oversight

 Example: Smithfield Foods/Premium Standards

1990: Operated only in the United States

2000: Expanded to seven countries, with hog operations in

Mexico, Poland, and Romania

Interventions: Controlling Stocking Density

 Increase per-animal density

allotment

Currently ¾ square feet per

chicken

Currently a few square feet

per hog

 Alternative system: hoop

housing (versus current non-

bedded confinement)

Waste handled in dry form

Improved infrastructure for

raising food animals

Interventions: Decrease Geographic Concentration

 Control geographic

concentration

 Integrators responsible for

environmental and

community hazards

Interventions: Control Global Spread

 Control global transformation of the livestock sector in countries

where public health and environmental regulations are weaker

 Possible model: Environmental impact statements required of oil

companies going into other countries

 Hopefully, other countries will recognize the negative impacts of

current IFAP practices

Interventions: Treating Animal Waste

 Treat animal waste prior to land application

 Necessary because there is so little land available per animal unit

 Methods

Methane digesters—convert waste to energy; very expensive

Pelletization of animal waste—heated and dried

Composting—most feasible option

 Must be controlled and regulated and done correctly

 Carbon needs to be added—in poultry sawdust

 Aerate the pile, proper moisture to get high temperatures

that kill off enteric pathogens

Feed inputs

Change feed inputs:

  • Remove antibiotics, arsenicals, hormones used for growth promotion

Levels of Control

Feed inputs Production

Improve food animal production:

  • Decrease animal crowding
  • Increase facilities cleaning
  • Limit regional concentration Change feed inputs:
  • Remove antibiotics, arsenicals, hormones used for growth promotion

Monitor and

remediate

impacts:

  • Nutrients
  • Indicators/

pathogens

  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Antimicrobial

effects

Levels of Control

Apply appropriate treatment:

  • Composting
  • Heat drying/ pelletization
  • Incineration
  • Dewatering
  • Storage

Discussion

 Sanitation voted greatest medical advance since 1840

11,300 readers of the British Medical Journal chose the

introduction of sewage disposal (the sanitary revolution) as the

most important medical milestone since 1840
