What We Do
Dairy slurry storage and NVZs
The new NVZ (Nitrate Vulnerable Zone) rules come in to effect on 1st January 2009 which presents two major issues to dairy farmers. Farms which are in the NVZ will be subject to a closed period for spreading slurry and they will have to have a minimum of 22 weeks slurry storage.
The Dairy Group can carry out an appraisal of your existing slurry production and storage and identify alternative strategies to meet the 22 weeks storage requirement. The most cost effective approach will depend on housing, roof areas, yard areas, drainage and the level of rainfall.
