Australian Pork Limited commissioned this project to develop a comprehensive “how to” guide regarding the manufacture and use of permeable pond covers. Straw, polypropylene and shadecloth composite covers were similar, with no evidence of impairment of the anaerobic waste treatment as the values of all covered ponds were within the ranges previously observed before the study. The Guide recommends polypropylene and shadecloth covers are used on the basis of cost and reduced maintenance. Further recommendations can be found in the guide entitled: Guide to the manufacture and use of permeable pond covers.
