Gases from Slurry Agitation Can Cause Death

25 Jun 2012

On a farm visit in Co. Antrim, where a client informed us that 5 show cows died from gas inhalation associated with slurry agitation. Cows were under the same roof area, on a straw bed, 150 feet from the slurry agitator. This clearly shows the dangers of gas inhalation from slurry and gypsum bedding.
