| | Manure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Manure is organic matter used as fertilizer in agriculture. | | | Manure has been used for centuries as a fertilizer for farming, as it is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients which facilitate the growth of plants. | | | Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. |

| | The manure was spread on the soil as a fertilizer to replenish the nutrients and trace minerals which had been removed in the process of harvest. | | | Manure is the oldest and most effective fertilizer known to man. As long as man has used domesticated animals and worked the soil, manure, which is sometimes referred to as "dung" has been used to feed the soil and plants. | | | Manure can return 70 percent of the nitrogen, 75 percent of the phosphorus and 80 percent of the potash that was taken from the soil to feed the animals. |

| | Livestock Manure Sampling |
| | Laboratory analysis of manure is an important management tool to use crop nutrients profitably and efficiently on the farm. | | | The nutrient content of manure can vary from farm to farm and species to species. | | | Estimates of manure nutrient content are available from a number of published sources, but nutrient composition varies widely between farms due to differences in animal species and management, and manure storage and handling (Table 1). |

| | Beef Manure Management |
| | Beef cattle feedlot manure was composted in a windrow on an open concrete area in 1992, 1993, and 1994 to determine the amounts of nutrient, C, and mass loss during composting. | | | Manure, incorporated by cultivating, rototilling or plowing, was applied annually from 1973 to 1983 at 30, 60, and 90 Mg ha-1 (wet wt.) and 60, 120, and 180 Mg ha-1, respectively, to nonirrigated and irrigated dark brown Chernozemic (Typic Haploborolls) clay loam soil. | | | At higher manure and moisture levels, rates of development and survival were similar to those reported previously All soil samples collected from a feedlot dairy contained higher levels of manure solids than the highest level tested in the laboratory. |

| | Land Application of Animal Manure |
| | The value of manure nutrients is dependent on the nutrient status of the field to which it is applied, the nutrient needs of the crop to be grown, the nutrient content of the manure, and the cost of purchased nutrients. | | | Nutrient content of animal manure is variable, depending on the type and age of animal, feed source, housing type, handling method, temperature, and moisture content. | | | Use of manure and fertilizer as nutrient sources for crop production must be managed properly to ensure that they do not contaminate ground or surface water. |

| | The idea behind manure 'tea' is that the water breaks the manure down into smaller particles and disperses the nutrients throughout the water. | | | When applied around the garden, the plants absorb the water more quickly than if you spread the manure around the garden and wait for the rain to help wash some of the nutrients into the ground. | | | One of the most natural, 'organic' fertilizers you can use is manure. |

| | In addition, when horse manure is mixed with sawdust or wood chips, and spread on farm fields, it often stunts crop growth. | | | The amount of horse manure/sawdust that can be safely applied to a soil is based primarily on the nutrient needs of the crop, the soil nutrient levels, and the nutrient content of the manure/sawdust mixture. | | | Managing horse manure in suburban areas is often a problem because land, to properly store and utilize the manure for crop production, is limited. |
