621 000 weaners 1 197 200 feeders 211 800 sows, bred gilts,
produce 0.8 cubic produce 2.6 cubic and boars produce 24
metres each per year metres each per year cubic metres each per year

3. Manure Produced by …
Weaners
Feeders
Sows, bred gilts, boars
= 8 692 720 m3 produced
per year in Alberta

4. The area of the main campus is 92 000 square metres
8 692 720 divided by 92 000 = 94.5 metres
Therefore, the depth of manure on campus would be 94.5 metres!
