The 2022 event will be the first since an inaugural TAMMI conference in 2009, said Zong Liu, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialist and assistant professor in the Texas A&M Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering.
Liu, the TAMMI conference chair, said most major livestock industries, including beef and dairy cattle, poultry, equine and swine, are expected to be represented among conference speakers. He said the conference mission is to provide animal waste management education and information to livestock and poultry producers and technical advisors.
“The first conference was wildly successful, and we want to bring it back,” he said. “We think the programs will serve livestock and poultry operations well by providing a comprehensive view of manure management and the latest about technology and information that can help producers and operations.”
What to expect at TAMMI
The conference will include comprehensive discussions regarding waste management, animal mortality, mass mortality events caused by natural disasters or disease outbreaks, greenhouse gases reduction and carbon credits, composting, regulatory requirements and compliance, and machinery and technology to help operations manage waste.
Speakers come from a wide range of backgrounds, including AgriLife Extension and regulatory agencies like U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board. Speakers also represent industry associations like the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Texas Association of Dairymen and Texas Poultry Federation.
This event will include continuing education units (CEUs) for nutrient management (7 credits), Dairy Outreach Program Area (DOPA, at least 4 credits), and others.
