                    [Summary] => A biogas technology using pig manure continues to gain acceptance by small swine raisers. 


Simply called BAI-TPED or tubular polyethylene digester, the device was developed by the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Animal Industry (DA-BAI).


BAI-TPED is a cheap and simple design made of plastic materials, in contrast to the more expensive and less-adopted concrete-based bio-digester,  according to BAI.


The bureau developed the cheaper biogas technology in response to the serious problem of improper disposal of animal wastes in pig production.
