Speaker: Dr. Ann Swinker, Penn State University. Summary: Manure, if used properly, can be a valuable addition to any operation's resource system. Many small scale horse operators feel overwhelmed by the huge mound of manure and soiled bedding. It would be nice if that mound would just disappear, but the reality is that it will always be a concern. So how do you manage the never-ending supply of manure? This is where a good manure management program comes into play; benefiting you, your livestock, your land, the neighborhood, and the surrounding environment. We can start with whole farm nutrient balancing, it can optimize the economics of manure management while minimizing the environmental impacts from manure.
