| Land Application of Animal Manure |
 | | Nutrient content of animal manure is variable, depending on the type and age of animal, feed source, housing type, handling method, temperature, and moisture content. |
 | | The rate of manure applied is usually based on the plant-available N content of the manure and the recommended N rate for the crop to be grown. |
 | | The value of manure nutrients is dependent on the nutrient status of the field to which it is applied, the nutrient needs of the crop to be grown, the nutrient content of the manure, and the cost of purchased nutrients. |
