Abstract: For livestock producers, a primary environmental concern is proper manure utilization and handling. A manure application plan can be developed by livestock producers as a means of accountability for their manure management. Producers are equally concerned, however, about the financial status of their farm business. Any manure management plan must also include an economic assessment as well as traditional agronomic considerations. The Manure Application Planner (MAP) software was developed at the University of Minnesota and has been adaptedfor use in Italy. We will discuss the process of adapting the software and show an example case farm of how it may be used in Italy.
