by the name of Natural Resources Group that picks up an average of <br /> 18,000 gallons a month from the lagoon. We help prevent fly breeding by <br /> placing a wasp predictor annually and then larvadez is applied around the edge <br /> of the pond approximately three times a year. <br /> Unit#6 is cleaned with a small kubota tractor weekly. It is pushed to the end <br /> and an electric auger it is brought into a trailer and then it will be brought into <br /> the lagoon or composting house. I estimate about 1 load weekly is removed <br /> or about 16 cubic yards of manure. <br /> Our waste eggs are poured into barrels for pet food and was picked up by <br /> Tulare Transport now is picked up by Modesto Tallow(209)644-8209. <br /> SKS hauls the garbage generated on the ranch in a 8x16x6 trailer to the nearest <br /> landfill. North County Landfill at Harney Lane, Lodi. We haul approximately <br /> 2 trailers per week. <br /> The daily mortality is kept in garbage cans and is incinerated daily. SKS <br /> estimates mortality at about 245 birds a day which is about .49%. <br /> We purchase grain feed for our hens that is delivered in and stored in feed tanks. <br /> We have two tanks. One tank has a 30 ton capacity and the other tank has a 6 <br /> ton capacity. <br /> SKS does not currently use a licensed pest control company. We do comply <br /> with all the Animal Husbandry and Quality Assurance programs that are State <br /> mandated. <br /> SKS complies with the Quality Assurance Program and as a part of that we have <br /> a fly and rodent control program. We use Quickbait, Ravap and Larvadex to <br /> control fly breeding and Hombre bait to discourage the rodent population on the <br /> ranch. All our procedures and findings are recorded and kept for the Q.A. <br /> program. <br />
