In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Frank Mitloehner, Professor and Director of the CLEAR Center at UC Davis, explores how livestock sustainability connects with biogas production and methane reduction. He explains how optimizing the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio can boost biogas production from swine manure and what’s needed to advance swine waste-to-energy systems. Listen now on all major platforms!

"The carbon-to-nitrogen ratio defines how effective manure management systems can be for composting or biogas generation."
