[Digestion] Use of Solids from Thermophilic Digestion for Dairy Bedding

[Tom Miles]

All,
 
A North American company has proposed a thermophilic digester for dairy
waste. They say that after dewatering the solids can be used as bedding in
place of the sawdust that is now used.
 
Is anyone actually using 100% thermophilic digestion solids as bedding in a
dairy?
 
I have heard that solids from thermophilic digestion are difficult to
dewater and consequently have an odor problem. Does anyone have experience
with thermophilic digestion of dairy waste and use of the solids as bedding?
 
Thanks
