There will be an opportunity to view the liquid manure acidification technology

This year, on October 11, it was planned to demonstrate a new technology in Latvia - acidification of liquid manure during incorporation. Due to bad weather conditions, we are moving the acidification system inspection to the following coordinates in Džūkste parish (56.806288, 23.357223)

Driving along the Riga-Liepāja highway, at the Apšupes intersection (Jelgava-Tukums), we turn right towards Tukums and after about a kilometer, an old farm and a silage pit will be visible on the left. We will also present there. Starting at 3:30 PM.

Nitrogen losses from livestock farming are both economically and ecologically undesirable. One option for reducing them is the use of slurry acidification technology (SAT). These technologies have been widely tested and used in Denmark. They are emerging in Denmark, but are not as well known in the rest of the Baltic Sea region. The task of the Baltic Slurry Acidification project is to demonstrate and analyse the implementation of SAT in the rest of the Baltic Sea region.

The equipment necessary for ensuring the acidification process has been purchased within the framework of the project "Baltic Slurry Acidification" or "Reducing nitrogen losses in the livestock sector by promoting the use of slurry acidification technology in the Baltic Sea Region" R#016. Project partners from Latvia: association “Zemnieku saeima”, SIA “Lauku agro”, SIA “Latvijas Rural Consulting and Education Centre”.

We invite media to apply by October 10 by phone: 67027044 or by writing to: office@zemniekusaeima.lv.
