These products may be applied to the land because they contain nutrients that will give a benefit to agriculture. They do not contain any substances that are harmful to human or animal health. What do Milk Washings contain? The analysis will vary from individual dairies but it is consistent from those units. Typical analysis of nutrient content supplied from an application of 50m 3 (depending on the source) ranges from:
N 70—19 kg/Ha
P2O5 20—11 kg/Ha
K2 O 10—5 kg/Ha
SO3 34—5 kg/Ha
It also contains some useful levels of Mg, Ca & Na. pH 6.8—4.5 The application rate is 50m3 /Ha & this can be applied up to 5 times a year (total 250m3) providing the total permissible level of N is not exceeded.

The Benefits:

  • A free source of important nutrients.
  • Payment for each application.
  • Excellent “kick start” for grass following cutting or grazing.
  • Works well applied to stubbles, summer, Winter or spring. Maize fields, Stubble Turnips & many other crops.
  • Minimal farmer involvement, no use of own farm labour or machinery.

How is it Applied to Fields?
The product is applied via tractor mounted umbilical system using either surface application, shallow tine cultivation or deep leg injection (subsoil benefit). Application method would depend on crop & ground conditions. A storage vessel is located at a suitable position, the liquid waste is then pumped to the tractor through the umbilical pipe.
