Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for the collection and removal of manure on a fur farm with breeding cages provided with a grated floor and disposed above the ground so that the manure can fall down from the cages. Moreover, the invention relates to a device for the collection of manure on a fur farm. In 1996, about 2.1 million fox skins and about
- the amounts of nutrients and manure to be used in field husbandry are minutely specified in the conditions for environmental relief allowances for agriculture. Based on the set limits, the areas defined for the spreading of cattle and fox/mink manure are generally so large that the spreading is practically impossible to carry out. For this reason, many municipalities have requested exceptional permission to spread fox/mink manure in the woods.
- the waste load imposed on the environment is increased in areas with fur farms.
- the farms are generally located on even ground with an easy soil structure, usually mineral soil. A considerable proportion of the farms have been established in places near water courses, brooks, ditches etc., in some cases even in ground water areas. In this case the amounts of waste washed away with rain water into the water courses are considerable.
- the total nutrient load resulting from fur farming in Finland is of the order of about 300 t of soluble nitrogen and nearly 1000 t of phosphor per year while the total amount of manure produced is of the order of about 90 000 t a year.
- the manure produced by fur farms constitutes a difficult problem and a drawback imposing a heavy load on the environment in countries where fur animals are raised.
- Stricter environ- mental laws will be enacted, among other things, because of the proposed European Council resolution, which means a roughly 70-% reduction in phosphor emissions over a given period. So far, no solution to these problems has been presented.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks described above.
- a specific object of the invention is to disclose a system for the collection and removal of manure from fur farms so that the manure can be treated in an appropriate man- ner to make it usable as fertiliser e.g. in agriculture and forestry and so that it will not be released into the environment unintentionally.
- Another object of the invention is to disclose a device for the collection of manure on a fur farm.
- the invention is based on the fundamental idea of placing below the fur animal cage a relatively heavy manure vessel capable of resisting the wind load so that the manure produced by the fur animal will fall down from the cage directly into the vessel. The manure vessels can be emptied directly into an unloading vehicle, e.g.
- manure vessels have a relatively large mass, of the order of over 100 kg, e.g. about 200 kg per 1 m 2 of surface area exposed to wind load. This ensures that even a strong wind will not overturn the vessels.
- manure vessels are made of massive material that will not produce much noise when manure falls into the vessels, such as massive plastic raw material, glass-based raw material, ceramic raw material, combination raw material or the like.
- massive plastic raw material glass-based raw material, ceramic raw material, combination raw material or the like.
- plastic-based raw materials such as polyester resins, to which it is possible to add weighting material, e.g. stone chips and/or glass cullet, grain size 0-1 mm or larger.
- weighting material e.g. stone chips and/or glass cullet, grain size 0-1 mm or larger.
- weighting material e.g. stone chips and/or glass cullet, grain size 0-1 mm or larger.
- weighting material e.g. stone chips and/or glass cullet, grain size 0-1 mm or larger.
- weighting material e.g. stone chips and/or glass cullet, grain size 0-1 mm or larger.
- minerals e.g. flocobite.
- the manure vessels are preferably provided with con- cave smell blocking covers with apertures designed to guide the manure into the vessels and to prevent the gases from getting out of the vessels.
- manure vessels may be provided with guide vanes and/or guide plates to guide the ma- nure falling from the cages into the vessels.
- the manure vessels may also be provided with gripping elements adapted to the lifting clutches or other handling elements of a truck or a similar machine to allow the vessels to be handled by such ma- chines.
- the system and device of the invention are suited for use on ordinary fur farms where the cages for the fur animals are disposed above ground.
- the manure vessels of the invention can simply be placed un- der existing cages. Generally no additional equipment is needed.
- the invention provides a simple and cheap solution for collecting the manure produced on fur farms.
- the manure vessels can be emptied e.g. once a year, which means low operating costs.
- the manure collected can be treated and, if desirable, composted and processed further in a desired manner to make it fit for use as fertiliser e.g. in agriculture and/or forestry or eTsewhere, e.g. in parks and yards.
- the value of the invention is augmented by the fact that, by an apparently simple method, it creates a system for total elimination of the difficult environmental problem caused by fur animal manure; before, no corresponding development result has been produced in spite of the magnitude and significance of the problem.
- Fig. 2 presents another manure vessel according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a fur farm where cages 1 provided with grated floors 10 are placed above ground so that the manure can fall down from the cages.
- the system comprises a special tank vehicle or vacuum vehicle 4 for emptying the tanks by a vacuum method.
- the required negative pressure is generated by means of a vacuum system 13, and the manure is drawn into the vacuum vehicle 4 via a pipe 14.
- the manure vessel 3 comprises walls 11 and a bottom 12.
- the manure vessel 3 has a mass of the order of over 100 kg, e.g. 200 kg per 1 m 2 of wind load surface area. This ensures that even a strong wind will not be able to move or overturn the manure vessel.
- the manure vessels 3 are made of massive material that will not produce much noise as the manure falls into- the vessels, e.g. from massive plastic raw material, rock or glass based raw material, ceramic raw material or the like.
- An especially advantageous solution is to manufacture the manure vessels from waste material, e.g. waste plastic, from rock material and/or glass material or the like.
- the manure vessel can be manufactured e.g.
- the manure vessels can also be manufactured from a combination of two or more materials, e.g. an impermeable inner surface joined to a sound damping and insulating outer layer, e.g. an inner surface of plastic or metal and an outer layer of cellular plastic.
- the system may also comprise a special water supply system 8 and/or a composting material supply system 9 to allow water to be added to the manure to ensure its fluidity and, respectively, to allow composting material to be supplied into the manure vessels to promote the decay and/or composting of the manure .
- a special water supply system 8 and/or a composting material supply system 9 to allow water to be added to the manure to ensure its fluidity and, respectively, to allow composting material to be supplied into the manure vessels to promote the decay and/or composting of the manure .
- the manure vessel presented in Fig. 2 is made of polyester resin, using stone dust as weighting material.
- the side edges of the vessel measure about 120 cm, the height about 50 cm and its mass is about 100 kg.
- the vessel has a shape that widens towards the top to facilitate piling up of vessels.
- the vessel is provided with an edging 8 enabling the vessel to be gripped by the lifting clutches of a truck from both sides of the vessel.
