an existing 1 10-sow farrow-to-finish
operation; an existing 293-sow
farrow-to-finish operation and a new
2,500-sow barn. The cost of
purchasing and operating the system
ran from $9.51 per piglet on the 110-
sow farm to $1.13 on the 2,500-sow
farm.
ABohni "Compact Anaerobic
Digestion System" was tried
out, using the tools in the
database, on an existing barn with
2,000 finishing pigs with a new
manure storage required, a 5,000-hog
finishing barn with new manure
storage required, a 2,000-hog barn
with an existing manure storage and
a 5,000-head barn with an existing
storage. The results ran from a per-
hog capital and operating cost of
$3.37 for the small barn that needed
new manure storage to 43 cents for
the 2,000 head barn with an existing
storage to a saving of $L32 per hog
for the 5,000-head barn with existing
storage.
A J. F. BioEnergy Pyrolysis
System was modeled on an existing
28.000 bird broiler operation using a
12-ton-per-day system taking some
off -farm waste and another larger 36-
ton-per-day unit was tried on the
same farm taking more off -farm
waste. The cost of technology and
operation ran from 58 cents per
broiler for the smaller unit and just
one cent per broiler with the larger
unit.
Finally, a New Logic Vibratory
Shearing Enhanced Processing
(VSEP) Membrane System was
modeled on an existing 2.500-sow
farm with 105 per cent excess
capacity and on a farm expanded to
3,125 sows with 75 per cent excess
capacity. Costs for this system ran
from $2.34 per piglet for the first
barn to $2.24 for the second.
