Abstract:Storing manure is an essential aspect of nutrient management on dairy farms, presenting the opportunity to use it effectively as a fertilizer in crop and pasture production. The storage structures are earthen, concrete, or steel-based constructs. However, this practice presents the potential of losing nitrogen (fertilizer value) and emitting greenhouse gases (environmental stressors) to the atmosphere through microbial and physicochemical processes. We have conducted a study to characterize the relevant microb… Show more
