A lot of ingredients are incorporated in the feeds for hogs, to promote growth, including corn and protein sources like fish meal, and also chemicals and antibiotics, for disease prevention and likewise for growth enhancement. These feeds when eaten by the pigs will not be digested wholly and a large percentage of these will end up in the waste and also contains bacteria and the chemicals therein. These bacteria and chemicals in the hog waste have high tendencies to come in contact with the ground. Harmful elements like phosphorous from the waste is harmful to people and when these swine wastes are used as fertilizer and mixed in the soil, it becomes more risky.
The swine manure in itself already contains several bacterial pathogens that can pose risks to people. The waste itself already contains ammonia and sulfides which when inhaled, can be harmful. Swine feeds are bombarded with chemicals, antibiotics, and growth promoting ingredients which ultimately end up in the hog waste. From this waste can contain the resistant bacteria already antibiotic-resistant strains, and this is not good to people. A lot of toxic materials can come up from this animal waste, which people also use as fertilizer.
Swine waste contains toxic and harmful substances like ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, methane, and other harmful gases that are very harmful especially when already in large doses. These are toxic chemicals and gases that can cause nausea, headaches, respiratory problems, and other forms of discomfort not only to people but to the animals also. This is mainly the reason that hog wastes are properly disposed of because of the potential danger it gives to people and also to the hogs. Lagoons are built to hold these wastes.
A lot of water is used to clean these swine wastes which ultimately end up in the lagoons or waste pits. However there is also the danger that seepage will happen in the lagoons and even in the canals from the pens to the pits. The danger of these harmful and resistant bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances mixing with the groundwater is a big possibility. Many hog raisers are instituting ways like putting liners in the lagoon to prevent seepage and also putting chemicals in the lagoon.
Foam build up on the surface of the lagoons will be seen, and this is especially when the volume of hog waste is big. Toxic gases can be trapped beneath the foam, and this is toxic and very dangerous to humans, especially trapped methane. Clean up and pumping out the hog wastes can also be very difficult when sludge and crusts are building up in the lagoons. These problems need solutions, and hog farmers have these.
These hog farmers have the Activator Plus and AgraSphere as solutions to these and their lagoon problems have the solutions. They have the Activator Plus as the chemical that break down the animal waste by enhancing the natural bacteria and enzymes found in the waste. In the AgraSphere, they found the sludge and crust build up with solution by placing the material directly into the buildup areas. They just toss the chemical directly into these areas of heavy sludge and crust build up, and remedial measures like pumping out are then easy to do.
