Abstract
"Waste management is an important consideration in animal agriculture. Environmental aspects concerning waste management are of particular importance to dairies because, in general, dairies are located relatively close to populates areas. This studies provides an overview of waste management regulations in Missouri and Clean Water Act procedures. In addition, this study provides a comparative analysis of two waste management systems - lagoon and liquid tank. Both annual ownership and operating costs are computed for various herd sizes (100, 200, 300, 500, 750, and 1,000 cows). Also detailed cost calculations provided. In addition, a breakeven analysis is provided for the irrigation system used with the lagoon system. Many factors may influence the decision to custom hire or own an irrigation system. The breakeven point is calculated to be 300 cows for ownership to be deemed profitable."--First paragraphs
