In 1999, the Delaware General Assembly passed a nutrient management law requiring farmers and animal producers to have a nutrient management or animal waste plan that includes best management practices to reduce nutrient losses to the environment. Many operations in Delaware will require significant upgrades to current manure management practices to meet the requirements of their plans. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate and encourage the adoption of innovative techniques for managing animal waste and improving the nutrient balance on farms. The project will utilize innovative manure separation technology combined with improved storage and composting methods. Developing value-added products from the remaining waste will provide further benefits to producers.
