Context
The general conclusion derived from the activities carried out and from the above recommendations is that the livestock farming sector must evolve and innovate in order to carry out the correct individual or joint management (and treatment) of manure and to adapt to the new regulations, especially those farms located in vulnerable areas. Other recently published regulations, such as the regulation on fertilisers, put an end to the waste status of manure and open the door to greater agronomic recovery of manure. There are, therefore, useful tools that the sector can apply to increase its economic and environmental sustainability, complying with the established limits and those that could be established in relation to aspects such as the minimisation of emissions during storage.
Objectives
Innovative tools and strategies for the optimisation of livestock manure management and agricultural fertilisation have been validated, focusing on both economic and environmental aspects, in a joint project with coordination between the participating cooperatives, and with the following specific objectives:
To achieve joint management of manure and fertilisation in a careful and sustainable manner.
To recover livestock manure for its fertiliser content and reduce its environmental impact.
To improve the technological management tools available and adapt them to the needs of the participating cooperatives.
Objectives
Se han validado herramientas y estrategias innovadoras para la optimización de la gestión de las deyecciones ganaderas y la fertilización agraria, con un enfoque tanto económico como medioambiental, en un marco conjunto y coordinado con respecto a las cooperativas participantes, y teniendo como objetivos específicos del proyecto los siguientes:
Alcanzar una gestión conjunta de las deyecciones y de la fertilización sostenible y cuidada.
Valorizar las deyecciones ganaderas por su contenido fertilizante y reducir su impacto ambiental.
Mejorar las herramientas tecnológicas disponibles para la gestión y adaptarlas a las necesidades de las cooperativas participantes.
Activities
Various cross-cutting measures and pilot experiences have been carried out, in a joint management framework based on four fundamental areas of improvement:
1.Improving slurry application through fertilisation planning. Soil analyses, use of conductivity meters, precision machinery, GPS, etc.
2.Improving management logistics: optimisation of transport routes, registering applications, etc., by means of computer tools to facilitate tasks and to obtain traceability of the applications on the plot.
3.Improving cereal quality: increasing protein through fertilisation.
4.Reduced environmental impact.
Activities
Se han llevado a cabo distintas acciones transversales y experiencias piloto, en un marco conjunto de gestión basado en cuatro ejes de mejora fundamentales:
1.Mejora de la aplicación de los purines mediante la planificación de la fertilización: análisis de suelo, uso de conductímetros, maquinaria de precisión, GPS, etc.
2.Mejora de la logística de gestión: optimización de rutas de transporte, registro de las aplicaciones, etc., mediante herramientas informáticas para facilitar las tareas y tener una trazabilidad de las aplicaciones realizadas en la parcela.
3.Mejora de la calidad del cereal: incremento de la proteína mediante la fertilización.
4.Reducción del impacto ambiental.
