Manure Analysis

Analysis of livestock manure for optimal fertilization and planning.

Why Analyze Manure?

Analysis of livestock manure is necessary for optimal fertilization and planning. This provides an opportunity for optimization and savings on purchased artificial fertilizers. By knowing the composition of your manure, you can calculate exactly how much nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium you apply, and thus reduce the cost of artificial fertilizers.
