Case Study: MF01

Location: Kerepehi

Cows: 450 Spring Calving

Brief/Description:

  • Aim to become fully compliant.
  • Existing system consisted of a blocked off barrier ditch that feed pad was also scraped into.
  • Provided approximately 2 weeks of storage before being spread via Yardmaster pump & old Williams irrigator.

Solution:

Given the slight elevation of the shed, every effort was made to ensure effluent could gravity feed into the suitably sized HDPE lined storage pond to eliminate the need/risk/cost of requiring a transfer sump. Installed large 20 x 4 stone trap off the end of feed pad that cowshed effluent enters also. Separated effluent gravity fed into pond before being pumped to pasture when/as required.
