Farms and Feedlots

Where you have livestock, you have deadstock. This is a fact of life that farmers, hatcheries and feedlots have to content with daily.

Considering the enormous investment that is required to produce meat, it only stands to reason that safeguarding your investment should be paramount. This also extends to hygiene and good housekeeping practices. Any biological waste can be a source of potential infections that can result in catastrophic mortalities due to accumulation and build up of pathogens.

Traditional methods of disposal like incinerating, landfills, burial, rendering, composting and re-feeding are not always effective or affordable. Re-infection of livestock is a very real danger due to scavengers, rodents, birds as well as contamination of water pastures feed and fodder.

In order to treat biological waste at the source, Convertech has developed cost-effective equipment that handle this problem efficiently.
