Manure Management:
A problem facing all horse owners, regardless of the size of their operation,
is manure management.
This is something that is becoming more of a problem with the ever- increasing
legislation regarding
disposal.
Equine Pine® is the answer! Disposal volume will be reduced by up to 60-70%. With
shavings,
the manure pile is more bedding than manure. With Equine Pine you pick only the
manure and
wet spots and remove very little bedding. When you reduce the amount of waste,
you reduce
the amount of consumption and cost. In addition, if you are paying to remove the
waste, these
costs will be dramatically reduced.
An added bonus is that the used sawdust and manure makes some of the highest
quality compost
available. There is actually income to be made if you choose to do so. Go to
www.o2compost.com
and find out more about this. One of the testimonials on the site is from a farm
with 12 stalls that
used to have removal costs of $4,800 a year. After composting they were selling
$7,700 a year to
a local tree nursery. That’s a positive swing of $12,500. This was enough to pay
for all their bedding
needs and then some!
