The average cow produces about 35 gallons of waste per day. One thousand cows on a large dairy farm create a waste stream equal to that of 20,000 humans. Cow manure is often stored in ponds, spread over fields or hauled away at substantial cost to the farmer. Integrity Ag Systems has developed technology to help family and family-factory dairy farms create a manure management system that prevents non-point source pollution, reduces a farm's carbon footprint, captures methane for use as a bio-energy source and recovers material for re-use as animal bedding. That adds up to more profit, less waste and improved environmental stewardship for the company's customers.

The company has installed more than 120 agricultural waste control systems since its inception in 2001.  Filling a major need--manure mismanagement is one of the leading causes of water contamination in the U.S. and increasingly the focus of government regulation--Integrity uses a composting and sequestration process that captures undigested nutrient materials that form the bulk of manure and which can be reused as "green sawdust" or sold when separated, sterilized and dried. One of Integrity's fluidized-bed anaerobic digesters captures methane that can be used to supply all the energy a farm needs.  Farmers can spend up to $60,000 annually on sawdust alone.

The company received $125,000 from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern Pennsylvania early in 2009 to add sales, service and engineering staff. Also in 2009, it introduced its packaged system that allows dairy producers to make sanitized bedding from the undigested plant cellulose in manure produced by their animals.
