Chemicals, antibiotics, and other growth promoting substances are mixed in swine feeds, including the organic materials like corn, fish meal, soya meal and other sources of protein, and this is the composition of swine feeds. Swine wastes are not wholly wastes but also contain some of the undigested food including the chemicals and medicines because no 100 percent digestion takes place. The soil that comes in contact with these wastes can also be in contact with the toxins and bacteria. Swine wastes are also sometimes used as fertilizers, and this pose risks to people, with the harmful substances included in the mixture of soil.
The risks to people can come in the manner that the waste itself has already lots of harmful pathogens in itself. When this is inhaled, and cannot be avoided because of the exposure, people get exposure to ammonia and sulfides. The hog wastes contain the chemicals and antibiotics and other harmful substances because the feeds are bombarded with a lot of these substances also. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can come up in the wastes, and this is a good possibility, and likewise not good to humans. Swine wastes are used as fertilizers which can also contain a lot of these toxic materials.
Ammonia, sulfides, carbon monoxide and dioxide, and also methane and other gases harmful to people can already be in the hog wastes, and when in very large doses, can be very harmful. These gases can be very toxic to humans and even small doses can cause nausea, headaches, respiratory problems, and also a source of discomfort to people as well as the hogs themselves. For this reason, hog farmers are properly disposing the animal wastes due to the high danger these wastes give to people and also the animals. For this reason, lagoons are made, for the holding of these wastes.
A lot of water is used to clean these swine wastes which ultimately end up in the lagoons or waste pits. However there is also the danger that seepage will happen in the lagoons and even in the canals from the pens to the pits. The danger of these harmful and resistant bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances mixing with the groundwater is a big possibility. Many hog raisers are instituting ways like putting liners in the lagoon to prevent seepage and also putting chemicals in the lagoon.
In the lagoons and pits, foam will build up on the surface, especially when the volume of hog waste is already high. The foam and underneath this is already very toxic and dangerous because the gases are trapped, especially the methane build up underneath. There can also be sludge and crusts in the lagoons building up in huge volumes, making the pumping out of these wastes very difficult. The hog farmers are coming out with their solutions to this.
The solutions to their lagoon and pits with crusts and sludge and other toxic materials are with Activator Plus and AgraSphere. Breaking down of the hog waste is enhancement of natural bacteria and enzymes in the hog waste, and they do this with Activator Plus. The sludge and crust build up is solved by placing chemicals in the areas with these problems, and the chemical used here is AgraSphere. The remedial solutions of pumping out and cleaning can then be implemented when the problems on sludge and crusts are solved, and this is done by placing or throwing the chemicals directly into these problem areas.
