3 INTRODUCTION JH AGRO Founded 1983 Supplier of total farm automation solutions automatic feeding distribution automatic bedding distributin slurry handling Own product lines JH bedding/feeding JH slurry acidification 3

4 INTRODUCTION JH products Automatisation technologies Environmental value Animal and people welfare 4

5 INTRODUCTION Automatisation technologies Nice to have, need to have Labor saving Less hard work Pig health Let robots do the hard work more management 5

6 JH AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION Small robot large capacity Robot on rail with central filling station Automatic distribution several times a day More than 250 systems in Denmark and developing new markets abroad 6

7 JH AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION Rail system Robot Filling station 7

8 RAIL SYSTEM 8

9 ROBOT From very small to very large 9

10 FILLING STATIONS 10

11 DISTRIBUTION TASKS 1. Enrichment material 2. Deep litter 3. Floor feeding 4. Combi 11

12 ENRICHMENT MATERIAL Environment Enrichment for Pigs Straw is premium choice JH automatic distribution Keep pigs occupied and healthy Prevent tail-biting Avoid clogging of manure systems VIDEO 12

13 ENRICHMENT MATERIAL 13

14 DEEP LITTER Automatically distribute straw in deep litter stables Save labor AND up to 30 % straw 14

15 DEEP LITTER JH Bale opener JH straw chopper drum 15

24 SUM UP Automatisation technologies Nice to have, need to have Labor saving Less hard work Pig health Let robots do the hard work more management 24

25 AUTOMATIC SLURRY HANDLING 25

26 AUTOMATIC SLURRY HANDLING Acid in slurry why and how? 26

27 WHY ACID IN SLURRY? We loose too much ammonia to the atmosphere Ammonia (NH3) evaporating from Stable Slurry storage Field We need ammonia in the slurry! With sulfuric acid we convert NH3 to NH4+ which is a nitrogen (N) form that stays in the slurry instead of evaporating

28 CONVERTING NH3 TO NH4+ Chemical balance NH3 (ammonia) NH4+ (ammonium) Lowering ph in slurry displaces the balance towards NH4+ ph around 6 70 % reduction ammonia evaporation!

29 CONVERTING NH3 TO NH4+ Reducing the ph will give: Less ammonia emissions from stable, storage and field: Good for nature, animals and employees More available N in slurry for the plants: Good for the farmer

30 Slurry is treated with sulfuric acid every day in a process tank outside the stable PROCESS

31 PROCESS Housing Computer Slurry storage Tech well Process tank Acid 31

32 PROCESS VIDEO 32

33 AUTOMATIC SLURRY HANDLING Fully automatic slurry system continuous monitoring documentation of the operation PC-controlled Connected to Internet All data is logged

34 ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE We stop the evaporation of NH3 at the source Less ammonia in stable air Employee and animal health Less ammonia to the atmosphere Benefits sensitive nature Labor saving Acidified slurry can easily be pumped to storage

35 CONVERTING NH3 TO NH4+ Advantages of acidified slurry Less ammonia in stable air and less evaporation from stable Improvement of fertilizer value Not necessary to take out slurry manually 35

36 ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY Acidified slurry Acid is only used to change the chemical balance of NH3 and NH4+ No harm to concrete Use 4-8,5 kg sulfuric acid pr. m3 slurry Acid is stored in a secured tank and only handled by trained people The system is officially tested and documented by VERA 36

37 ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY Acidification of slurry reduces the gas outlet with kg CO2 equivalents per t/slurry 1% of treated slurry = reduction of t CO2 equivalents 3,3 % or 1 mio. t slurry is treated with acid in Denmark Reduces emissions with t CO2 equivalents Acidification reduces N emissions of about 700 t/day in Denmark

38 SUM UP Advantages of acidified slurry Less ammonia in stable air and evaporation from stable Improvement of fertilizer value Acidified slurry can be pumped automatically to storage tanks 38
