The Pig Site: “An award winning composting tool, originally developed to deal with mortalities in the swine industry, is finding new uses, both agricultural and non-agricultural. The Biovator was developed by the Niverville, Manitoba-based Puratone Corporation and consists of a rotating four foot diameter drum that mixes livestock carcasses with wood shavings while introducing oxygen. The unit’s design earned its creator Dr. Shokry Rashwan the 2005 Banff Pork Seminar’s F.X. Aherne Prize for Innovative Pork Production.”
