It can be mixed with virtually anything to enter a higher value market. One other manure product with a very high reuse potential is that produced by cattle under intensively rotational grazing systems. Essentially all of the unused feed nutrients return to be used by the forage crop. Moisture content of manure and manure products have a significant influence on market value. This is a tremendous difference when transporting the product.
Product quality adds value.
Existing market values also indicate that higher value markets exist for higher quality manure products and this allows them to be transported further from the production site. The potential for marketing manure products is even greater for manure entrepreneurs and input suppliers in close proximity to urban centers. Urban centers increase the potential of selling manure products to gardeners and developers and also provide the opportunity for the use of restaurant waste, yard waste and recycled paper as carbon sources for blending manure composts. This opportunity will not exist for every input supplier, but will present opportunities for those near population centers. It is critical to take inventory of existing feedstocks.
