Manure can be processed into Recycled Manure Solids (RMS) or Dried Manure Solids (DMS) bedding. This presentation looks at the process of transforming raw manure into a dried manure solids bedding product, as well as the many benefits this can offer.

How it Works:

2. Livestock bedding fosters comfortable,
healthy animals. Unfortunately, traditional
bedding options have become increasingly
difficult to find, as well as more costly, forcing
many farms to look for an alternative.

3. Simultaneously, farms are faced with mounting
pressure to manage increasing amounts of
manure.

This has led many to discover that their manure
problem might just be the solution they need
to their bedding challenges.

5. Manure as a
Solution

6. Manure can be processed into a Recycled
Manure Solids (RMS) bedding, or further dried
and processed into a Dried Manure Solids
(DMS) bedding.

11. Bedding Recovery:
How it Works

12. While the bedding recovery process can differ,
a common approach is illustrated here.

a common approach is illustrated here.
Manure first goes through anaerobic digestion.
From there, coarse fibers are separated out
(solid/liquid separation via a screw press,
sloped screen, or centrifuge). Coarse fibers/
Recycled Manure Solids (RMS) can now be
dried into Dried Manure Solids (DMS) bedding.

A common approach to producing Dried

15. The drying step can be carried out in a rotary
dryer, an approach which allows for a
controlled drying medium.

16. Conclusion
Bedding recovery from manure offers a
number of benefits, including the opportunity
to alleviate the pressure on farms to handle
increasing amounts of manure, while
simultaneously solving their bedding issue.

17. Additionally, processing recycled manure
solids into dried manure solids provides a
product with reduced moisture and
pathogen content.

18. has been a leader in transforming wastes into
value-added products since 1951. In addition to
feasibility testing, process design, and more, we
offer custom rotary dryers for the creation of
Dried Manure Solids (DMS) bedding.
