Pig farms pollute the soil, water and the atmosphere. Such pollution c
an be minimised by the following measures: reduced feeding of protein
and phosphorus; use of partly slatted floors; ventilation above floors
; air cleaning; covering stored straw; care in the timing and quantity
of slurry spread, and using soil injection of slurry. Many of these m
easures are practices by pig farmers. For farms in which more slurry i
s produced than can be used on home produced corps, manure should be e
xported to other farms. The Agricultural Chamber has developed a pilot
project for environmentally safe slurry distribution on farms.
