New guides to managing farm dairy effluent

Wednesday 01 June 2011

Winter 2011

The Farm Dairy Effluent Design Code of Practice and the Farm Dairy Effluent Design Standards are part of an initiative to set industry-agreed standards for the design and installation of effluent management systems.

The new code and standards were recently released by DairyNZ with the aim of guiding designers through the process of developing effective farm dairy effluent systems.

The accompanying farmer guide, Planning the Right System for Your Farm, outlines the process of designing and building a system based on the new code. The standards enable farmers and others to measure the effectiveness of farm dairy effluent systems in New Zealand.

The documents are available to download from the DairyNZ website.

Thanks to DairyNZ for providing this content.
