Ecodrum - About Us

The management of animal mortalities is an important aspect of livestock farming since even the best livestock farmers lose some of their animals every year.

Rendering, burial and incineration have been the typical carcass disposal methods. However, these options are becoming less practical for many farmers because of decreasing rendering availability, higher costs, biosecurity concerns and adverse impact on air and groundwater quality. These reasons have made composting one of the most widely recommended methods of disposal of animal
mortality.

A properly managed mortality composting system is low cost, environmentally sound, biosecure, and virtually odour free. The Ecodrum was developed after extensive research and development work conducted at Tri-Form Poly facilities in Morris, Manitoba. The main objective of our R&D team was ’Äúto develop a cost-effective alternative to the outdoor composting process’Äù.

The Ecodrum successfully achieves this goal and as a result we are introducing it into the market. The Ecodrum is a combination of a device and process, targeting the quickest transformation of animal carcasses into consistent - quality compost at the lowest possible cost and management effort.

This manual includes the information you may need to successfully operate the Ecodrum and to decide whether or not it fits your operation.
