Benefits of using your dairy farm effluent as a fertiliser with Central Injection Agri

Nutrient-rich source:

Dairy farm effluent is a rich source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth and health. Cost-effective: Using dairy farm effluent as a fertiliser can help reduce the need for commercial fertilisers, saving you money on input costs.

Effluent, a nutrient-rich substance captured from various areas on a dairy farm, is a valuable resource. On average, a dairy cow produces around $25 worth of nutrients in the form of farm dairy effluent (FDE) each year, making the total value for a 400 cow herd about $10,000. Utilizing this effluent as a supplement for fertilizers is a cost-effective method for maximizing nutrient use on the farm.

Environmental benefits:

By recycling dairy farm effluent as a fertiliser on your farm, you can reduce the potential for nutrient runoff and pollution of waterways, leading to a healthier environment.
To obtain value and minimize environmental risk, consider these factors: when to apply, the rate and depth of application, and the presence of buffer strips near waterways and boundaries.

To maximize plant nutrient uptake, only spread effluent when there is adequate soil moisture and avoid excessive wetness. Apply effluent evenly at a rate that allows for infiltration without ponding or runoff.
At Central Injection Agri, our modern, fully equipped machinery has the correct measuring systems to ensure your paddocks get the correct application of slurry.

Improved soil fertility:

Your dairy farm effluent can help improve soil structure, organic matter content, and microbial activity, leading to better soil health and fertility. Sustainable farming practice: Utilising dairy farm effluent as a fertiliser is a sustainable farming practice that helps reduce waste and promote resource efficiency on your farm.

When maximizing the potential of your dairy farm effluent not only benefits your crops, but also your wallet and the environment. This nutrient-rich source contains essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, resulting in improved soil fertility, reduced input costs, and a more sustainable farming practice.

By recycling dairy farm effluent as a fertiliser, you can also prevent nutrient runoff and pollution of waterways, promoting a healthier environment for all. Add this practice to your farming methods to see the positive impact it has on your farm.
