Laboratory analysis of manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
To make efficient use of fertilizer nutrients in manure, nutrient levels must be determined by laboratory analysis. This publication outlines methods for obtaining and interpreting laboratory analyses of manure...
Land application considerations for animal manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
Manure should always be spread or irrigated uniformly on fields with consideration given to the proper application rate. Nutrient losses, pollution potential and odor are reduced if manure is incorporated into the soil as soon as possible after...
Reduce environmental problems with proper land application of animal manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
Livestock or poultry production enterprises should have a comprehensive manure nutrient management plan to take advantage of the animal manure benefits. A plan is also important in reducing the risk of environmental problems when manure is used as a...
Sizing soil-plant filters for conservative manure management (2002)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2002)
Approval of an animal manure management system by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires that sufficient land be available to receive the generated manure. If you do not own suitable land, a legally ...
Fertilizer nutrients in livestock and poultry manure (2002)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2002)
To keep the addition of nutrients from manure and fertilizer in balance with the nutrient removal by crops requires a record-keeping system that includes soil tests, laboratory analysis of the manure nutrient content, manure application rates...

(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2018)
Manure should always be spread or irrigated uniformly on fields with consideration given to the proper application rate. Nutrient losses, pollution potential and odor are reduced if manure is incorporated into the soil as soon as possible after...

Calibration of lagoon irrigating equipment (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
A properly calibrated irrigation system can be an efficient and uniform method for land application of liquid nutrients....
Storage tanks for liquid livestock manure (2002)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2002)
Storage structures for liquid livestock manure range from low-cost earthen basins and moderate-cost concrete tanks to higher-cost, glass-lined steel tanks.
Crystallization in lagoon effluent recycle lines (2003)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2003)
Hydraulic collection and transport is a preferred method of handling livestock manure for many producers. Hydraulic methods tend to reduce labor and equipment requirements and take advantage of gravity in the movement of ...
Separation distances for livestock manure management systems (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has established required and recommended guidelines for separation distances for livestock manure management systems. These separation distances apply to both manure ...
Anaerobic lagoons for storage/treatment of livestock manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
, the manure becomes partially liquefied and stabilized by bacterial action before eventual land application. Lagoons may contain one of three types of waste-stabilizing bacteria -- anaerobic (inhibited by oxygen), aerobic (requiring oxygen) or facultative...
Earthen pits (basins) for liquid livestock manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
Storage structures for slurry (liquid) livestock manure range from low-cost earthen basins and moderate-cost concrete pits and tanks to higher-cost, glasslined steel tanks. This publication deals with earthen pits, with ...
Manure management in hoop structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2018)
"Hoop structures for raising swine offer an alternative to managing manure in the traditional liquid form (Figures 1 and 2). Some producers are willing to provide the increased labor and management required for a hoop ...
Swine manure management systems in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2018)
, manure may be an asset; otherwise, it is a liability. Spreading manure on land recycles nutrients and replaces much commercial fertilizer. It increases the fertility and water-holding capacity of the soil and also improves soil tilth, bulk density...
Spreading dairy waste without lab analysis and with soil tests (2009)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2009)
to the land in such a manner that the potential polluting nutrients (N, P, K and organic matter) are used by the soil-plant complex and are not allowed to enter the groundwater/surface water infrastructure....
Land application equipment for livestock and poultry manure management (2001)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2001)
Land application is the most desirable method for making use of the nutrients and organic matter in animal manure. The value of the manure is usually maximized if it can be substituted for the purchase of commercial fertilizer....
Coupling ammonia-N production with ammonia-N uptake in the rumen
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
efficiency. However, an excessive supply of nutrients to rumen microbes can result in waste. Excessive waste can have negative economic and environmental consequences. A study was conducted to determine if prediction of ammonia-N release could be optimized...
Calibration of lagoon irrigating equipment
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2018)
"A properly calibrated irrigation system can be an efficient and uniform method for land application of liquid nutrients. Application should be done at a time and at a rate so that polluted runoff does not enter the waters of the state. Total...
