First Swine Toilet Undergoes Testing
22 December 2011
THE NETHERLANDS - The Swine Research Farm Sterksel (Wageningen UR) in the Netherlands recently started to test the first prototype of a swine toilet.

This way the manure can be directly transported away from the pig house, in turn leading to a lower ammonia emission.
