How to Sample Manure for Nutrient Analysis
A field-by-field nutrient management program requires multiple components to maintain adequate fertility for crop growth and development. A well-designed soil sampling plan, including proper soil test interpretations, along with manure sampling, manure nutrient analysis, equipment calibration, appropriate application rates and application methods are all necessary components of a nutrient management plan. This publication describes how to sample solid, semisolid, and liquid manure.
Previously known as PM 1558.

Manure Storage & Handling - Manure Additives Overview
A wide range of manure additives exist on the market. This fact sheet focuses on those products that can be added directly to the manure, or fed through the animal to impact manure. While the use of additives can be implemented with little change to the current manure system, typically effectiveness of product ranges all over the place.

Manure Storage & Handling - Solids Separation Overview
Solid-liquid separation is the partial removal of organic and inorganic solids from animal manures. This separation makes the liquid waste stream easier to handle and increases the life of manure storage by decreasing the build-up and solids. It does create two manure streams, solid and liquid, that need to be managed and land applied.

Manure Storage & Handling - Composting Overview
Composting is a biological process in which microorganisms convert organic material into a soil-like material. Composting, when done correctly can reduce flies, pathogens and weed seed in solid manure sources. It can also reduce odors, but nitrogen loss does occur.

Manure Storage & Handling - Acidification Overview
Manipulating the pH of the manure alters the balance between ammonia and ammonium. As ammonia is the volatile of these two compounds, reducing the pH to change ammonia to ammonium can be effective at reducing loss of nitrogen. Additionally, ammonia emissions are an environmental and human health concern. Acidification is one strategy to reduce ammonia emissions.

Manure Storage & Handling - Aeration Overview
Aeration is the process of mixing air into the manure to promote the growth of aerobic bacteria. Oxygen must be supplied either naturally, mechanically through mixing, or using oxygen diffusion systems. This technology can provide dramatic odor reduction from livestock waste management facilities, but has not found frequent application in agriculture due to intensive energy use and resulting added utility costs.

Manure Storages - Permeable Covers
Permeable covers are used to reduce odors and emissions from manure storage structures. Permeable covers are materials such as a natural crust, straw, ground corn stalks, as well as expanded clays, ceramics and ground rubber that lie directly on the surface of the stored manure and provide a physical barrier between the manure and the surrounding air.
