Manure Analysis Update: 1998-2010 John Peters Department of Soil Science University of Wisconsin – Madison

Introduction  Knowing the nutrient content of manure is critical for nutrient management planning.  New species and management categories have been established.  Follow trends and update book values

Acknowledgment  Data for this summary was provided by the following laboratories. – AgSource Laboratory – Dairyland Laboratory – Rock River Laboratory – UW Soil and Forage Laboratory

Laboratory Data  27,391 lab values from 1998-2010 were summarized by management (liquid vs. solid) and species  Includes 14,676 liquid dairy, 6,371 solid dairy, 2,298 solid poultry, 1,568 liquid swine, 553 solid beef, and 155 solid swine samples, as well as smaller numbers of samples for other species

Manure sample numbers by region, WI (1998-2010) 1167 798 1763 641 1187 5477 1042 1053 3160 Numbers listed represent 59% of total samples where county was listed.

“Book Values”  Nutrient concentrations can be estimated using “book” values for available N, P 2 O 5 , and K 2 O  Testing is needed to determine if a farm is typical and to establish an individual farm “typical” value  If management and feeding practices do not change, manure analysis values will not vary significantly on a farm

Manure Sampling and Testing  Manure testing takes management practices into account and delivers more accurate values to use for farm specific nutrient management planning  Lab analysis summaries can be used to monitor long term trends in manure nutrient content as it is affected by management changes over time

If manure has been applied to the same field at similar rates for three or more consecutive years, increase the nutrient values by 15%.
