There are a number of reasons why livestock producers may want to consider the use of anaerobic digesters in their operations.
Teng Teeh Lim, University of Missouri Extension professor and engineer, has studied the ways producers can utilize digesters.
“The benefits of on-farm anaerobic digestion include improved manure management, production of renewable energy and reduced greenhouse gas emission,” Lim says.
He says the improved manure management can lead to more consistent manure, and less odors in general. Also, he says reducing greenhouse gas emissions lowers the carbon footprint of the animal production. The process produces biogas as a byproduct.
