THE COMPLETE LISSCO FLUSH SYSTEM: The Lissco waste management system controls problems and in creases your profits by flushing animal wastes from the confinement housing to a lagoon or treatment tank. The wastes are then aerobically treated by the Lissco Aqua-Vac aerator. This aeration is very similar in principle to the process city waste treatment plants used to treat sewage. Instead of the waste solids decaying, they are actually broken down and digested by non-dangerous aerobic bacteria. Gases, odors, and disease producing anaerobic bacteria are controlled. fj* FARME 410 E. LINCOLN AVE. BEST IN DESIGN , PRICE AND EXPERIENCE HAVING MANURE PROBLEMS?
