The Study of Manure Management in a Cattle Farm

Abstract

Abstract The manure deposits in the farm must not affect the environment by directly polluting the surface waters. In the studied location there are two stables for a bovine herd - 245 heads of dairy cattle and 105 heads of young cattle, a desk, sanitary filter, milking parlor (two 60 liter boilers each, two showers, three sanitary groups), a haystack, platform for storing solid waste. The lagoons for storing the manure were made from a special waterproofing material. They store the manure well in a natural environment, comply with the EC rules in force, according to the Code of Good Agricultural Practices for water protection against nitrate pollution from agricultural sources. The distribution manure on the land is made by using methods that reduce as much as possible ammonium emissions; the fertilizer must be incorporated as quickly as possible to reduce emissions.
