The NH Foods Group has consistently been engaged in the production, rearing, and sale of pigs and chickens in Japan and cattle in Australia.
The 바카라 추천 produced when raising livestock accounts for the largest amount of waste generated within the Group, and despite having a high environmental impact, it can be effectively used as a resource. The Group is therefore engaged in sustainable business activities, such as composting 바카라 추천 and creating biofuels from that to reduce CO2 emissions.
We have engaged in these resource recycling activ바카라 추천ies for 40 years already, and will continue to do so into the future.
Chicken-related 바카라 추천s
We primarily employ the following two methods at all of our business sites to effectively utilize the bird droppings (poultry 바카라 추천) produced when raising chickens.
Composting
Most of the poultry 바카라 추천 is fermented to produce compost formulated for different applications.
The resulting compost is commercialized and sold for use in the fields of neighboring farmers, among others.
For example, the Tohoku Business Division of Nippon Wh바카라 추천e Farm Co., Ltd., located in Aomori Prefecture, one of Japan's leading producers of burdock root and Chinese yam, sells the compost 바카라 추천 produces for use by farmers in the Kamik바카라 추천a and Shimok바카라 추천a regions.
Use of fuel
Some of the poultry 바카라 추천 that is not composted is burned in biomass-fueled boilers to supplement fossil fuels. These boilers serve as a heat source for the hot water used to heat and clean chicken houses.
In Miyazaki Prefecture, we established Japan's first poultry 바카라 추천 biomass-fueled power generation business in 2003 through a joint investment with poultry farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and other businesses. As part of this effort, we have been working to convert poultry 바카라 추천 into fuel for more than 20 years now.
This project was also selected as a recipient for the "2023 Regional Coexistence-type Renewable Energy Project Awards " administered by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy.

Pig-related 바카라 추천s
We primarily employ the following two methods at all of our business sites to effectively utilize the pig droppings (Pig 바카라 추천) produced when raising pigs.
Composting
Pig 바카라 추천 is fermented to produce compost formulated for different applications.
As a group company, Nippon Clean Farm Ltd., which raises pigs, is also engaged in the vegetable cultivation business. It provides the vegetables it grows using its compost from pig 바카라 추천 as a benefit to shareholders of NH Foods Ltd.
Since fiscal 2021, 바카라 추천 has also grown wheat, which 바카라 추천 uses as an ingredient in the pig feed used at 바카라 추천s farms.
Use of fuel
Some pig 바카라 추천 is sujetod to anaerobic fermentation, and the methane gas generated during this process is used as boiler fuel.
This approach generates fewer CO2 emissions than kerosene-fueled boilers, thereby contributing to lower GHG emissions originating from livestock.

Beef-related 바카라 추천s
We primarily employ the following the method at all of our business sites to effectively utilize the beef droppings (beef 바카라 추천) produced when raising beef.
Composting
All of the feces generated at the Whyalla Feedlot, where beef are raised, is composted through a fermentation process.
Some of the compost is used to grow the barley and cottonseed used as cattle feed. Specifically, these are used by the feedlot’s feed plants as an ingredient in the feed formulations optimized to match the health cond바카라 추천ion and weight gain of cattle.
