Event to spotlight slurry and manure value

Specialist event will combine live machinery demonstrations, technical discussion and practical advice for livestock farmers, contractors and advisers.

Muck Management UK will put the value of slurry, farmyard manure and organic manures under the spotlight when it takes place at Bodrhyddan Hall, North Wales, on 3 and 4 June 2026. Aimed at livestock farmers, contractors and advisers, the two-day event will combine live machinery demonstrations, a static exhibition and an ADAS-supported technical forum focused on improving nutrient use, storage, handling and application.

Organisers say the event comes at a time when livestock businesses are under pressure to make better use of nutrients already available on farm, as input costs, weather pressures and tighter regulation push muck and slurry management higher up the agenda. Visitors will be able to compare machinery in action, assess storage and handling systems, and hear technical discussion on infrastructure, slurry separation, nutrient partitioning, application techniques and air quality.

The technical forum will run across both days with sessions on organic manures, manure storage and infrastructure, slurry separation and nutrient partitioning, and application techniques and air quality. Alongside the forum, visitors will be able to see nine machines working three times each day, offering repeated opportunities to compare spreaders, slurry tankers, trailing shoe systems, self-propelled units and grassland equipment.

Machines due to appear include the Richard Western Delilah D Series, Strautmann TS Spreader, Vervaet Quad 550, Vredo VT7028-3, Vogelsang BlackBird trailing shoe, BAUER Polytanker with Vogelsang dribble bar and the Holmer Terra Variant 650. One-day tickets cost £25 including VAT. Event director Jake Davies said the aim is to give visitors a practical event where they can see equipment working, speak directly to manufacturers and suppliers, and take away ideas to improve nutrient efficiency and compliance on farm.
