A process where organic waste, including manure, is broken down by microorganisms in the presence of oxygen, resulting in a nutrient-rich material that can enhance soil quality and fertility.

An integrated land-management system that combines trees with forage and livestock production, which can help in managing manure and reducing nutrient runoff through tree uptake.

A practice to provide stabilization for areas frequently and intensively used by people, animals or equipment by using materials resistant to erosion, which can prevent manure contamination of nearby water sources.

A method of land application where manure is injected below the soil surface, reducing odors and the potential for nutrient runoff and volatilization, thus improving nutrient use efficiency.

An engineered structure designed to store and treat livestock manure through biological and chemical processes before it is applied to land, aimed at reducing odors and preventing runoff.

The flow of water, which may carry pollutants including nutrients from manure, across the land surface, potentially leading to contamination of water resources.

Agricultural practices that minimize the disturbance of the soil surface, which can reduce soil erosion and create a more suitable environment for manure nutrients to be absorbed.

The use of plants to remove, transfer, stabilize, and destroy contaminants in soil, including excess nutrients from manure, which can improve water quality and prevent eutrophication.

An individual or company that facilitates the transfer of manure from farms producing excess nutrients to those needing fertilizer, helping in the better distribution and utilization of manure.

The practice of adjusting livestock feed to meet animal health requirements while minimizing nutrient excretion and thus reducing potential environmental impacts from manure.

A biological process where microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce biogas and digestate that can be used as renewable energy and fertilizer respectively.

The process of composting deceased animals, which can be a biosecure way to manage farm mortality and turn it into a useful byproduct while preventing disease transmission.

A type of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste, including manure, in an oxygen-free environment, used as a source of renewable energy.

A strategy designed to manage the amount, source, placement, form, and timing of the application of nutrients and soil amendments, to ensure adequate soil fertility while minimizing impact on the environment.

Crops planted primarily to manage soil erosion, soil fertility, water, weeds, and pests in fields, which can also help in the assimilation of manure nutrients when manure is applied to them.

A process where water bodies become overly enriched with minerals and nutrients, often due to runoff from manure, leading to excessive growth of algae and depletion of oxygen in the water.

A covered structure used to store manure solidly stacked on a concrete or compacted base, which helps in preventing nutrient runoff and protecting water quality.

A liquid fertilizer made by steeping manure in water, which can provide nutrients to plants while lowering the risk of burning them as compared to the application of raw manure.

A farming device used to distribute fertilizer in the form of manure over a field, which helps in evenly applying the manure and thus improving the nutrient availability for crops.
