Visit DCC Waterbeds at the 2022 PDPW Business Conference

If finding a better solution for manure management and wastewater treatment is on your 2022 ‘to-do’ list, we invite you to visit the DCCW booth in the Hall of Ideas at the 2022 Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin Annual Business Conference at the Kalahari Resorts and Conventions. We hope to see you there!

Don’t forget to check out The Dairy Signal with Dr. Frank Mitloehner, PhD, University of California, Davis Department of Animal Science, and Austin Allred, Royal Family Farming, as they talk about the Nutrient Management Paradigm Shift and Austin’s personal experience with the BioFiltro system. 

With 6,500 milking cows, the BioFiltro worm-powered wastewater system at Royal Dairy removes 90%-99% of the nutrients from the green water, builds soil by generating worm castings, and produces 6-8 carbon credits per milking cow. DCC Waterbeds were installed in the freestall barns in the summer of 2021 to provide low-maintenance cow comfort and allow for a cleaner, simpler manure waste stream. “We’re already using 75% less bedding at this point,” Allred said at a presentation given at World Dairy Expo in September 2021. At the time, DCC Waterbeds were installed in about half of his stalls. With the 75% reduction in bedding, the farm reduced barn labor by one person, and the operational efficiency of their worm-powered BioFiltro wastewater system greatly benefitted from the reduction in large solids.
