Liquid manure may be defined as any liquid that is contaminated from the animal production system, and the on-farm management of liquid manure presents an important opportunity to curtail agricultural nonpoint source pollution. Emphasizing basic principles, this abundantly illustrated 168-page manual outlines a design process for planning and implementing an economically efficient, environmentally safe liquid manure application system that is tailored to the producer's needs. The design manual also discusses such management issues as environmental assessment, nutrient management, liquid manure storage and handling, application rate strategies, environmental assessment, odor control, and safety. The manual includes 69 illustrations and 20 tables, plus work sheets, suggested readings, and a list of manufacturers. Livestock producers, environmental regulators, waste management sales professionals, irrigators, system designers, public officials, and educators are among those who will benefit from this book.
