Depopulation 2012
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Do not fear! And do not store up your treasure with things of this world which rot and decay, but look to your Holy Creator and eternal home.
While the 4th Annual Symposium focus is on managing animal mortality each of these techniques is quickly and easily applicable to manage mass casualty human mortality in a ‘green’ world. In each instance you can substitute the word animal for human beings as that is what the power brokers have defined us as in their own writings. With the onset of summer some of their major conferences and symposia on managing planetary population are almost concluded and they are ready to draw back the curtain for four horsemen of the apocalypse and the final stages of history. This list is not all inclusive for there are other techniques that will be applied such as decapitation of which we are seeing increased media attention laying the foundation. Many will die, but a remnant will live, and those who believe in Jesus Christ will not perish but live eternally before the Throne of God.
1) Foam Euthanasia. The Martin Michigan Fire Department and USDA National Veterinary Stockpile. The Martin Fire Department will demonstrate the CAFSCO, CSWAT 1.5 Module pneumatic foam manifold. Commercialization of this unit is pending. Chemguard “First Class” will be the non-corrosive, non-toxic, biodegradable Class A foam concentrate used. It is a non-corrosive, non-toxic, and biodegradable Class “A” foam concentrate. A portable foam depopulation unit, similar to one type of unit, that is inventoried at the National Veterinary Services.
2) Small Transportable Gasifying Unit. Biomass Marketing Associates have been developing compact gasifier systems for addressing daily mortality disposal as well as the animal shelter and highway department carcass disposal arena. They will be demonstrating a small gasifier unit to show the simplicity and versatility of the process and the potential for wide industry application
3) In-Vessel Food Composting. Eco Value Technology, Inc., Alpena, Michigan. Eco Value Technology, Inc. is a USA manufacturer of rotary in-vessel composters. The composters are designed for all season, continuous flow, composting most organic materials like food waste and animal mortalities. Pathogen destruction and material digestion are optimized by naturally created 140-150 degree F. operating temperatures for a bio secure process. Automatic air input and material rotation are standard operational features that can improve your working conditions and facility efficiency. Aside from being a simple and fast process, composting with an in-vessel system is a responsible way to manage animal mortalities by removing composting from public sight, greatly reducing odors, and generating a highly valuable end product. Composters run on very little energy and can also be solar powered. Additional system components such as material handling, loading and unloading options are available.
4) Microwave Sterilization. Sanitec Industries of California and Indiana has been processing and sterilizing medical waste across the US for many years. Over the last 6 years they have been working with the agriculture industry to modify their equipment for processing of animal carcasses during non-prion disease outbreaks. They will be exhibiting their mobile sterilization unit (Big Red Machine) which loads, grinds, steam and microwave sterilizes, and discharges into traditional waste containers. Material may then be safely composted or placed in a landfill.
5) Animal Premises Decontamination. Steris Corporation will demonstrate the decontamination of simulated animal facilities using several devices manufactured by Lafferty Equipment Manufacturing Inc., i.e., the Model #971185SR Portable WR-1 Spray / Rinse device, the Model 981100 1-Way Push Lever Mixing Station, and the Model 969925-B Model 25 Compact Airless Foamer. Decontamination of animal facilities following removal of animals from the facility during a foreign animal disease event, such as foot-and-mouth disease, is essential to help manage the incident. STERIS Scientific is a Formulated Chemistries company that manufactures for regulated industries, Pharmaceutical, Ag Vet and Research.
6) Farm Animal Euthanasia. Dr. Jan Shearer, Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The objectives of the laboratory session will be to familiarize participants with information from the updated version of the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia of livestock. The clinic will include video demonstration of euthanasia techniques and application of physical methods for euthanasia of livestock including use of firearms, penetrating and non-penetrating captive bolt. Proper handling, placement and firing of the captive bolt will be demonstrated.
7) HAZMAT Unit. Novi Fire Department. The purpose of this demonstration will be to show the proper decontamination procedures that are necessary to reduce or eliminate to spread of biological contamination. This will be accomplished by highlighting the engineering controls and work place practices that can be used to protect the worker and environment from the spread of contaminants. A simulated decontamination line will be used to demonstrate proper PPE selection and donning procedures, set-up of a decontamination area and proper decontamination procedures. The demonstration will conclude with termination of decontamination activities that include proper removal of PPE and disposable of contaminated materials.
8) Alkaline Hydrolysis. BioLiquidation, Pittsboro, Indiana. Alkaline hydrolysis tissue digestion is a non-burn process during which animal tissues are broken down into their basic building blocks. This naturally-occurring process is accelerated in the BioLiquidator system, producing a sterile solution of amino acids, small peptides, sugars, nutrients, and soap, along with the mineral ash of the bones and teeth (calcium phosphate). Alkaline hydrolysis allows the nutrients to be recycled back to the environment safely. Through the thermochemical process, any pathogens that may be present in the tissues are sterilized.
9) Carcass Reduction. Supreme Enviro Processors, Brodie Ag & Industrial Inc. Ontario. This machine is equipped with a patented auger design and has the ability to cut and blend various compost materials such as green waste, vegetable waste, biosolids, wood, and mortalities. The result is a thorough and accurate mixture with a consistent and even distribution of moisture and porosity throughout the entire mix. Results are a quicker composting process and a more consistent product. The material may also be size-appropriate for anaerobic digestion.
10) Carcass Compost Carcass Dig! This demonstration will allow you to participate in excavating a 10 week old carcass compost pile. Participants will learn how to properly use compost as a management tool in both routine and catastrophic events. You will see and experience how different compost feedstocks and pile construction affect the rate of decomposition. Different management strategies for varying needs will be discussed. This one may require a strong stomach!
11) Construction of a Carcass Compost Static Pile. This demonstration will provide you with a ‘hands on’ opportunity to experience the construction of a carcass compost pile. Participants will learn the proper layering, volume and size requirements for efficient composting and vector control. Common reasons for poor composting performance will also be shared. Be prepared to grab a shovel and join in on the fun!???
12) Milk Tank Truck Decontamination. Ogena Solutions Canada Corp. will demonstrate foam disinfection procedures on a 10 wheel milk tank truck used for hauling raw milk from farms to processing plants. The demonstration will be accomplished using the Lafferty Model 20 SS Combo Airless Foamer device. The ability to clean and disinfectant contaminated milk tank trucks prior to enter and prior to leaving from dairy farms and dairy processing plants is essential during an emergency foreign animal disease, such as foot-and-mouth disease, to help manage the incident. Ogena Solutions is dedicated to providing effective, environmentally friendly bio-security products, equipment and protocols. It currently operates in the animal health, cleaning and disinfection chemicals and equipment sectors including veterinary, food animal and general farm applications.
