PLAN a dairy effluent system with growth in mind.
But growth doesn’t necessarily mean extra infrastructure – productivity improvements can also lead to extra manure.
These were some of the messages from a panel of effluent management experts at the 2024 DairySA Innovation Day, near Mount Gambier.
Agriculture Victoria Dairy Services Program Manager Scott McDonald told the crowd that there were so many business changes or practices that “trigger” dairy farmers to consider effluent expansion.
“If the herd increases, you’ve built a bigger yard – because there’s more rain coming into the dairy – you change the flood wash, this all influences the effluent system,” he said.
“It is not just big changes around infrastructure, it’s also if there’s increased production. More milk means more manure.”
