Free Dairy Effluent Nutrient Testing
Do you know the nutrient value of your dairy effluent?
SADA is seeking Expressions of Interest from dairy producers interested in participating in a free dairy effluent sampling program currently being finalised for the Murrayland region.
Participating dairy farmers will receive:
- Free collection (by SADA) and sampling of liquid and solid dairy effluent
- Laboratory testing for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K)
- A personalised report outlining the nutrient value of your effluent
- Practical guidance on using your results to improve nutrient management and fertiliser decisions
Participants will receive and discuss their results at an upcoming SADA Farm Smarter Workshop, where you'll learn how to incorporate the findings into your fertiliser program, improve nutrient use efficiency and potentially reduce input costs.
Project findings will also contribute to a regional case study demonstrating the value of effluent testing. Individual farm results will remain confidential and will only be reported in grouped or anonymous form.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
