  1. Intensive Livestock Farming Ineke Jansen Tallinn, March 2007

  2. Ineke Jansen • Province of Zeeland, Netherlands • Head Environmental Department • 220 sites; about 50 IPPC installations • 3 on intensive rearing of pigs • I.Jansen@zeeland.nl

  3. Content • What animals are we talking about • Key environmental issues • Animal welfare • Whole chain concept • How to come to BAT: • housing systems • landspreading of manure • Conclusions

  4. Poultry: • Chicken laying hens and broilers • (Turkeys, ducks and Guinea fowls) • Pigs: • Mating and gestating sows • Farrowing sows • Weaned piglets • Growers/finishers

  6. Mating sow Gestating sow Farrowing sow Weaned piglets

  7. Grower Finisher

  8. Farm activities: • Farm management • Feeding strategy • Rearing of animals: housing systems • Collection and storage of manure • On-site treatment of manure • Landspreading of manure

  9. Key environmental issues • Emissions to: • air (ammonia) • soil and groundwater (N, P) • Energy and water • Waste

  10. Animal welfare • Water for the animals • Housing systems • cages versus free range systems for laying hens • litter based systems for pigs • materials for enrichment for pigs and chickens • light, heating/cooling, ventilation, ….

  11. Whole chain concept

  12. How to come to BAT • How to come from Chapter 4  Chapter 5 • A tool for the BAT-assessment • Reference system (few data + climate conditions) • Applied for assessing: • housing systems for pigs • housing systems for layers and broilers • air abatement systems in housings

  13. Housing systems; pigs • Reduce manure pit • Remove manure • Flush with liquid part • Cool manure surface • Use smooth surfaces

  14. Housing systems; pigs • The conclusions in Chapter 5: • BAT • Conditional BAT; odour • BAT for systems that are already in place • Split view from one Member State • Littered systems

  15. Housing systems; laying hens • Conventional cage housing: Ban on new: 2003 Total ban: 2012

  16. Housing systems; laying hens • The conclusions in Chapter 5: • Conventional cage housing • BAT: • quick removal of manure • quick removal and drying of manure • Conditional BAT

  17. Housing systems; laying hens • The conclusions in Chapter 5: • Enriched cage concept is the only alternative • BAT assessment not possible • Non-cage housing • BAT, although higher ammonia and dust emissions

  18. Housing systems; broilers • Reference: simple closed building with litter; no cage • The conclusions in Chapter 5: • BAT • Conditional BAT; the Combideck system • BAT for systems that are already in place

  19. Landspreading of slurry • BAT for applying slurry to arable land: • Injection • Bandspreading + incorporation < 4 hours

  20. Landspreading of slurry • Split view: • Bandspreading with / without incorporation • Not BAT: • Conventional broadcasting • No consensus on: • Improved broadcasting + incorporation

  21. Landspreading of solid manure • BAT for applying solid manure - from pig and poultry - to arable land: • Incorporation < 12 hours • Split view on pig and poultry manure: • Incorporation < 24 hours

  22. Conclusions • The TWG reached a high degree of consensus on the BREF document and on the BAT-conclusions • Five split views were reported • A useful document for the permitwriter • The Province of Zeeland is offering you practical help in your permitwriting processes

  23. Conclusions • A whole new ‘living’ area for the EIPPCB
