Manure Storage Selection, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Manure Storage Selection, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the factors that might influence the selection of a particular type of manure storage facility. Manure storage facilities covered include solid systems, slurry systems, and liquid (lagoon systems).
Nutrient Concentrations In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Nutrient Concentrations In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the nutrient loss and retention characteristics of different types of manure storage. The concentration of nutrients in manure storage facilities is important for planning land application activities. Nutrient concentration is usually the critical factor in determining the amount of manure to be spread per acre of land. Manure systems similar in type and management may have characteristically similar concentrations of manure nutrients.
Manure Storage, Process Improvement For Animal Feeding Operations, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Manure Storage, Process Improvement For Animal Feeding Operations, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the need for manure storage facilities.
Safety In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Safety In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
As livestock operations become larger and numbers of employees more numerous, safety becomes a critical issue in manure storage.
Types Of Manure Storage, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Types Of Manure Storage, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the characteristics of different types of manure storage facilities. Factors that might influence the selection of a particular type of manure storage facility are discussed. Manure storage facilities discussed include solid systems, slurry systems, and liquid (lagoon systems).
Animal Manure Removal Methods For Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Animal Manure Removal Methods For Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
A well-designed manure storage facility must also be well managed to prevent environmental concerns from developing. Probably the single most important requirement in operating and maintaining a manure storage facility is to ensure that the facility does not overflow or discharge.
Lagoon Monitoring And Condition Parameters, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Lagoon Monitoring And Condition Parameters, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
Lagoons combine storage and treatment functions and thus are more sensitive to management inputs than are solid or slurry facilities. The establishment and maintenance of desirable microbiological populations in lagoons requires more specific procedures in the way lagoons are loaded and monitored.

Ignoring Variation: Are We Missing Opportunities?, Behave
Ignoring Variation: Are We Missing Opportunities?, Behave
All Current Publications
This publication discusses the fact that each individual person and animal is so unique from one another and the opportunity to study and learn about the differences rather than the similarities and averages is often passed up.
Preventing Calf Losses, Clell Bagley
Preventing Calf Losses, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Many beef producers and practicing veterinarians noted there were higher than normal calf death losses during the 1993 calving season. We were especially aware of the increased losses here in the western states, but there were also heavy losses in the midwest and east, so the problem was very widespread.
Drug Residues And Food Safety, Clell Bagley
Drug Residues And Food Safety, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Complaints and demands from consumers concerning a product usually occur after an incident involving injury, illness or death. However, this was not the case with the Alar scare with apples and it is not the case with the concern for drug residues in food animal products.
