Manure Management for Water Quality: Costs to Animal Feeding Operations of Applying Manure Nutrients to Land
By U.S.D.A., ERS - Nutrients from livestock and poultry manure are key sources of water pollution. Ever-growing numbers of animals per farm and per acre have increased the risk of water pollution.

Composting Hog Manure - Is it Right for Your Farm?
By Katherine E. Buckley, published by Alberta Pork in their Spring 2003 Western Hog Journal. Composting hog manure has not been considered a viable alternative manure management practice until recent years and even now the practice is thought to be more...

Should nitrogen fertilizer be applied after injected swine manure?
By Brad Van De Woestyne, and Alfred M. Blackmer, professor, Department of Agronomy, Iowa State University - Many farmers question the nitrogen (N)-supplying power of animal manure and apply fertilizer N as insurance against yield losses. Precision farming...

Putting Numbers to Manure
By Jane Messenger and Greg Vincent, Pork Magazine - Putting a value on hog manure is no easy task. The tough part for you as a pork producer is to think like a crop producer, who values manure by the acre, instead of by the gallon or ton. Then you can...

Whence Come Hog Manure Odors?
By Ben Hardin, ARS - Researching the question "What makes manure stink?" is no ivory-tower pursuit for ARS microbiologist Michael A. Cotta and his colleagues. In their view, finding which microbes are responsible is a fundamental step toward helping the...
