Effective Use Of Animal Manure

Environmental Protection Agency

Department of Agriculture
Energy Research and Development Administration


Manure is a valuable economic asset which
can be used as fertilizer or from which by-
products can be recovered.

The Department of Agriculture should in-
crease its efforts to inform farmers of the
benefits that can be achieved by more effec-
tively using animal manure as a substitute for,
or supplement to, commercial fertilizer and
the proper methods of doing so. The Depart-
ment should also consider a program to insure
that farmers can rely on the soil and manure
testing by laboratories which is critical in
using any type of fertilizer. The Environ-
mental Protection Agency should promote
interagency agreements directed toward bring-
ing animal manure use technology to a
commercially viable level.
