Abstract
"Hoop structures for raising swine offer an alternative to managing manure in the traditional liquid form (Figures 1 and 2). Some producers are willing to provide the increased labor and management required for a hoop structure so that manure can be handled as a solid. Advantages of handling manure as a solid include the following: bedding availability on the farm, less odor than with liquid manure systems, less risk of runoff or spills than with liquid manure systems. Disadvantages of handling manure as a solid include the following: large amounts of bedding required, labor required to handle bedding and manure, bedding costs, if bedding must be purchased." -- page 1
