Demonstration of Enhanced Technologies for Land Application of Animal Nutrient Sources in Sensitive Watersheds

Land application of animal manure has been implicated as a leading cause of water body impairment in the United States, and is often carried out without adequate knowledge of its nutrient content or consideration of efficient methods of application. The purpose of this project is to encourage the adoption of advanced animal nutrient management strategies for animal producers in Kentucky, and evaluate the environmental benefits, cost of implementation, and producer acceptance of these strategies.
