“…The third component of equation (2) gives the manure export outside of the Netherlands for each type of manure and manure region, and the fourth component gives the interregional transportation per manure type a. These shadow prices are implicit demand prices for manure, as they reflect the amount by which the objective function (1) would change with one more unit of manure application (Feinerman et al, 2004).…”

“…Substitution between mineral fertilizer and manure is a feature of our model as well. Lauwers et al (1998), Feinerman et al (2004), and Keplinger and Hauck (2006) used frameworks that minimized transportation costs of manure and fertilization costs with exogenous availability of manure. A comparable type of model but with endogenous supply and demand of manure was presented by Helming (1998Helming ( , 2005.…”

“…Another branch of literature focuses on optimal mineral application strategies (e.g. Feinerman and Voet 1995;Feinerman and Falkovitz 1997;Bontems and Thomas 2000) and the regulation of livestock waste (Innes 2000;Feinerman et al 2004). However, the issues of absorbing livestock mineral surpluses by arable farming as a substitute for chemical fertilizer has received little attention.…”

Abstract. The paper focuses on farm-level nitrogen fertilization strategies of Dutch arable farmers for analyzing the substitution of organic fertilizers (manure) with chemical fertilizers. The model developed investigates the impact of the major parameters affecting the inferiority of manure compared with chemical fertilizers, including the low availability and non-uniformity of the nitrogen in manure, and the low level and high non-uniformity of plant-available nitrogen supplied via manure. The sensitivity of the optimal fertilization decisions and its associated environmental impact to product price, manure cost, and environmental tax is also examined. The theoretical analysis is applied to a representative Dutch grower of ware potatoes in the northern part of the Netherlands. The results suggest that in the absence of a subsidy the representative farmer will prefer to apply nitrogen only via chemical fertilizers.

“…Nutrient management adjusts plant nutrient applications (N, P, and K) for expected crop production and water quality protection (Bosch and Wolfe, 1998). While nutrient management based on crop N requirements may increase farm net returns (Van Dyke et al, 1999), P‐based nutrient management may reduce net returns, because the high manure P content relative to crop requirements restricts manure applications and increases costs of supplemental commercial N and K fertilizer (Parsons, 1995; Feinerman et al, 2004).…”

Phosphorus (P) runoff from manure can lead to eutrophication of surface water and algae growth. This study evaluates the impacts of alternative P reduction practices on dairy farm net returns and on potential P runoff. The P control practices include dairy herd nutrient management, crop nutrient management, and runoff and erosion control. Four farms representative of dairies in the Virginia Shenandoah Valley are simulated including dairies with and without supplementary broiler enterprises and with average and below average land area. A mathematical programming model was developed to predict farm production and net returns and the GLEAMS model was used to predict potential P runoff. The farms are evaluated under four scenarios: Scenario 1, no constraint on P runoff with access to crop nutrient, runoff and erosion control strategies but no access to dairy herd nutrient control strategies; Scenario 2, no constraint on P runoff with access to all crop and dairy herd nutrient control strategies; Scenario 3, constraint on P runoff with access to crop nutrient, runoff and erosion control strategies but no access to dairy herd nutrient control strategies; and Scenario 4, constraint on P runoff with access to all crop and dairy herd nutrient control strategies. Under Scenario 2, the herd nutrient control strategies increase milk output per cow and net returns on both farms and reduce P content of manure and P runoff. Under Scenario 3, limiting P runoff reduces farm returns by 1 and 3% on the average and small farms, respectively. Under Scenario 4, the P runoff constraint is less costly, reducing returns by less than 1% on both farms. Animal nutrient control strategies should be an important part of pollution control policies and programs for livestock intensive watersheds.
