Pig poo into power?

China has an estimated 700 million pigs, producing some two-thirds of the meat consumed there annually.









Pig waste contains a high level of nitrate, which
in liquid form can contaminate ground water and in flake form can
contaminate lakes, posing human health risks. 
Of 1.4 million metric tons (1.5 million tons) of pig poo a year  only one tenth  is used now as manure. 



 CRC for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC Care), a South Australian-based firm has a possible solution - using a bioreactor called "PooCareTM" and other
technology, the pig manure is converted into biofuel for cooking and
heating while the residual goes to farmers as nutrient-rich fertilizers.
Solid waste is converted into a biogas that is then pumped
through gas tanks that can be delivered to the local community. The
entire process takes about a month, with the first biogenerator already
running at a farm in Wuhan, central China.

4 arrested in hog theft ring

CELINA, Ohio – A sheriff in western Ohio said four family members have been operating a hog theft ring.



The Mercer County sheriff said the four have taken hogs from large farms in Ohio and transported them to Indiana, where they were trying to sell the animals.



Investigators said it’s not easy for farmers to notice when a few hogs are missing out of several thousand.



This reminds me of an old joke ...

Q: How did the farmers find out that the thefts were occurring?

    A:The pigs squealed!
