Forced Air Composting Testimonial from a NC Hog Farmer
• In the first 4 months we composted 228,000 lbs. of dead animals.
• We have run the facility at both 3% and 10% mortality. The forced aeration system is forgiving enough to accommodate either.
• I suggest under normal conditions an application rate of between 8,500 and 9,500 lbs. per bin.
• During times of high mortality, the bins will adequately handle up to 11,000 lbs. of mortality.
