Nitrogen losses from dairy manure estimated through nitrogen mass balance and chemical markers
Received for publication February 13, 2009. Ammonia is an important air and water pollutant, but the spatial variation in its concentrations presents technical difficulties in accurate determination of ammonia emissions from animal feeding operations. The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between ammonia volatilization and 15N of dairy manure and the feasibility of ...

Chicken Manure Management, Recycling, and Composting
Chicken Manure Fertilizer Manufacturing Process If you have chickens, you will have manure. Fortunately, chicken manure is among the most prized of manures. Fresh chicken manure is considered a “hot” manure, which is unsuitable for immediate use. Chicken manure needs to be composted and aged at least two to three months before you add it to your garden. If you don’t wait that ...

Phytase supplemented poultry diets affect soluble phosphorus and nitrogen in manure and manure-amended soil
Understanding P and N dynamics in manure-amended soil is essential for estimating the environmental impact of manure utilization in land applications. A laboratory incubation study was conducted to assess, (i) the effect of feeding a standard Australian commercial diet, and diets modified with phytase supplementation and reduced nonphytase phosphorus (NPP), on the concentrations of P and N (total ...

What are the advantages of using rabbit manure as organic fertilizer?
Nutrient content of rabbit feces Rabbit manure is a kind of high efficient organic fertilizer, the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is significantly higher than other animal manure. The nitrogen content of rabbit manure is 1.53 times of chicken manure, 3.29 times of sheep manure, 3.83 times of pig manure, the phosphorus content is 2.88 times of chicken manure, 4.6 times of sheep ...

Cover crop effects on the fate of N following soil application of swine manure
Abstract Cereal grain cover crops increase surface cover, anchor corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] residues, increase infiltration, reduce both rill and interrill erosion, scavenge excess nutrients from the soil, and are easily obtained and inexpensive compared to other cover crop options. The use of cereal grain cover crops in fields where manure application occurs ...

Unlocking the potential of poultry manure
The poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing agro-based industries in the world. At the same time, the growth brings along a number of environmental problems. One of the major environmental problems is the accumulation of large amounts of wastes, e.g. manure. In order to mitigate these problems new economically sustainable technologies are needed. Manure has often been referred ...

From animal manure to artificial fertilizer and clean water - Case Study
Nijhuis Industries uses GENIAAL to convert raw manure or digestate into biobased phosphate, nitrogen and potassium fertilizer and clean water. GENIAAL is based on the production of valuable biobased fertilizers from raw manure and digestate and will therefore make an important contribution to solving the manure and phosphate surplus in the Netherlands as a cost-effective, innovative and ...
