Science and Education Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture

No 330668, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpt from the report: The spreading of livestock and poultry manures and bedding on land has been a convenient and long-used disposal method that benefits the soil. For proper animal waste management, one must consider the application methods, type and management of livestock or poultry, and many land, crop, and climatic factors. This manual describes and evaluates some of these variables. The objectives of this manual are threefold: • Provide information for applying animal wastes to land in terms of agronomic benefit and/or pollution potential. • Provide basic information to enable planners to reduce or control nonpoint pollution from animal wastes applied to land. • Provide sufficient information to enable planners to integrate the many variables into beneficial land-application systems.
