Appendix 1 - Manure Data taken from NMAN Program June 2005

Available Nutrients for Manure from Various Livestock Types

The nutrients from manure have a nutrient and economic value. The tables that follow give an indication of the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from various livestock types. The information is based on the most current databank of nutrients (October 2003) and makes a few assumptions.The useable nitrogen is the amount of nitrogen available in the year of application assuming the manure is spring applied and incorporated within 24 hours. There is some nitrogen that is available in subsequent years, and is higher for solid manure than for liquid manure. The value of the nitrogen is reflected in the column that reads "Year 2-4 value" which also reflects half of the total available phosphorus value.The actual immediate nutrient value for crop production will be less than what is reflected in the tables if the nutrients being applied are not required for the production of the crop. For example the nitrogen from manure applied to a legume crop, or the phosphorus and/or potassium applied to a field with a soil test higher than 30 mg/L (ppm) or > 150 mg/L (ppm) for P and K respectively.The manure value is based on the purchase price of an equivalent amount of mineral fertilizer (Oct 2003). The micro nutrient value and the organic matter value are not reflected in this table.
