• This should be sited near the lairage and / or on the dirty side of the plant.
• In some cases stomach and intestinal material is handled along with manure or it may be processed separately.
• Size and design depend mainly on throughput but in all cases of transport vehicles should be made priority, which usually means having the bay in an elevated position.
• Its floor and sides should be impervious, with provision made for overflow liquors to be drained away.
• In certain whether conditions the manure has to be treated to prevent problems with flies.
