Management of Lagoons and Storage Structures For Dairy Manure

John Chastain and, Stephen Henry (2015)

Summary

Most dairy buildings in South Carolina are designed to collect and transfer manure to an anaerobic lagoon or storage pond as a liquid or slurry. The two most popular collection and transfer systems are tractor scrape and flush. The floors of many milking centers are cleaned by scraping, with a high-pressure hose, or by flushing.
