Manure disposal is an important farm practice to maintain sanitation, hygiene, and avoid contamination and environmental pollution. Manure should be stored in a covered area on well-drained ground away from water sources, and the storage area should contain or drain liquids away. Manure can be spread in spring or summer when plants can use its nutrients, or it can be composted to kill organisms and produce a more stable fertilizer.

3. MANURE DISPOSAL
 Manure disposal is an important farm practice
to avoid contamination.
 It is important for internal bio security.
 To maintain the sanitation & hygiene level.
 To avoid any further consequences.
 To avoid environmental pollution.

4. MANURE DISPOSAL
 Manure is a good source of nitrogen,
Phosphorus and potassium.
 Manure can enhance soil fertility.
 Manure is also a god source of organic matter
that can increase soil water holding capacity.
 Microorganisms are also present in manure
that spread diseases in livestock as well as
humans.

5. MANURE DISPOSAL
 Place the storage on high, well-drained ground
away from surface water sources.
 Cover all manure and soiled bedding, and protect
them from runoff.
 There are several ways to cover manure pile from
a simple pinned-down tarp, to a storage area with
a roof and concrete floor.
 Make sure your storage either contains the liquids
or provides a drain to
 Move runoff to soils and vegetation that can
adequately filter leach ate.

6. MANURE DISPOSAL
 Calculate the amount of manure produced and
bedding used during the storage period in
order to design an adequate-size storage area.
 Reduce the amount of contaminated water to
be handled by providing gutters and down
spouts that move clean roof runoff away from
buildings and storage areas.
 Create diversion ditches or earthen berms that
move clean water away from livestock
facilities.

7. MANURE DISPOSAL
 Spread the manure on pastures in the spring
or early summer when there is little chance of
runoff and growing plants can readily use
nutrients.
 Stored manure, with or without bedding,
provides food and a place for bacteria to grow,
thus making it a readily compostable material.
 Composting kills most disease-causing
organisms, reduces the manure pile size, and
provides a more stable nitrogen source that
greatly reduces the possibility of leaching.

8. MANURE DISPOSAL
 If you apply manure based on pasture grass
nitrogen needs only, you may apply excess
phosphorus, which will be available for runoff
and leaching. In this case, apply manure at the
rate needed to supply P and purchase
supplemental N fertilizer to meet crop nitrogen
needs.
 Spreading manure from one 1,000-lb cow or
twelve100-lb sheep on 1 acre of pasture may
provide the yearly phosphorus requirement for
the plants.
