This is how I do conventional farming Kim Kjær Knudsen Allindemaglegård 2. Marts 2012

Agenda Who am I? The farm Nutrients in system Fieldwork with carbon storage New technologies?

Who am I? - 26 years old - Educated in Practical farming & Agra economic Bought Allindemaglegård in Build farm for 1250 sows in 2008 Bonus: -Had in family home 200 sows in organic outdoor production 1995 – Had 120 ha of field in organic production

Allindemaglegård 235 ha sows, selling 7-kg’s UK pigs pigs in fattening 10 apartments rentals 5 employees in pig production Fields in corporate with senior (900 ha) Sows Fattening Food production Rentals

First I will set… No benefit No technologies

Nutrients from field to field - with lowest lost (1) Political restrictions » Organic material is very important (Nutrients) Reduced emission – High feed utilization – collecting the slurry – Reduced evaporation – Reduced emission of ammonia from stable from stock from field

Nutrients from field to field - with lowest lost (2) – High feed utilization Animal genetic phase feeding feed composition – collecting the slurry “In-door production”

Nutrients from field to field - with lowest lost (3) – Reduced evaporation Slurry cooling (37 º C -> 3 º C) Heat production – Reduced emission of ammonia From stable and stock by Slurry acidification (Lowering pH) give chemical reaction NH3 + H2SO4 -> NH4+ Pumping high-value-slurry direct from stock to plants

Fieldwork with carbon storage High contents of carbon in soil » Gives high nutrients consumption » We do No-till & reduced-till farming

Next technologies? – Water ionization and revitalization Healthier animals Food stabilization Increased production results Reduced ammonium emission Reduced sulphide emission – Ozone/oxygenation of slurry Increased nutrient availability Reduced smell for environment

How do we feed more than 9 billion people? - I don’t want to go hungry to bed!
