The challenges of liquid manure spreading in dry weather:
Slurry spreading poses particular challenges for farmers, especially during periods of dry weather. Drought causes the liquid components of the slurry to penetrate the soil quickly, while the solid fibrous matter remains on the surface. These fibers can affect the quality of the forage as they can be mixed with the grass during the next cut. This is a serious problem that can affect animal health.
How the XSplit Separator works
The XSplit Separator from Vogelsang offers an effective solution to this problem. The device separates the manure into liquid and solid components before it is spread. This process makes it possible to distribute the liquid nutrients precisely and evenly in the soil, while the solid components can be treated separately. The separator works by mechanical separation, whereby the slurry is fed through a sieve using a press screw, which filters out the solid components. This results in a homogeneous liquid that can penetrate the soil more easily.
Advantages of separating liquid and solid components
Separating the slurry into liquid and solid components offers numerous advantages. Firstly, the plant surface is kept clean as no fibrous matter remains on the sward. Secondly, infiltration of the liquid components is significantly improved, which is particularly advantageous in dry soil conditions. This makes liquid manure spreading not only more efficient, but also more environmentally friendly.
Improved nutrient supply through precise spreading
The precise spreading of the liquid manure components ensures optimum nutrient supply to the plants. The nutrients enter the soil with minimal loss and are immediately available to the plants. This leads to even and healthy plant growth. The improved nutrient uptake has a positive effect on crop yields and contributes to general soil health.

Clean plant surface and improved feed quality
Another decisive advantage of slurry separation is the clean plant surface. Without the fibrous matter that can remain on the sward in dry conditions, the forage remains free of impurities. This is particularly important for feed hygiene and animal health. Clean feed reduces the risk of disease and contributes to better milk and meat quality. The increased feed quality is a direct economic benefit for farmers, as healthy animals are more productive.
Case studies and practical experience with the XSplit Separator
Practical examples confirm the advantages of the XSplit Separator. The situation on a dairy farm has improved significantly since the introduction of the separator. The liquid manure is now spread cleanly and efficiently without leaving any residue on the plant surface and the feed quality has increased noticeably. The separator also shows its strengths in difficult weather conditions and enables flexible and effective liquid manure spreading.
Conclusion: Using the XSplit separator from Vogelsang is an innovative and efficient solution to the challenges of liquid manure spreading in dry conditions. By separating the liquid manure into liquid and solid components, more precise and cleaner spreading is made possible, which improves both plant and feed quality. For farmers, this means a sustainable and economical optimization of their business processes.
