Animal manure can be used as a fertiliser, and it can improve soil
quality. Manure can also be used as a feedstock for energy
production. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 directed
the U.S. Department of Agriculture to evaluate the role of animal
manure as a source of fertiliser, and its other uses. About 5
percent of all U.S. cropland is currently fertilised with livestock
manure, and corn accounts for over half the acreage to which manure
is applied. Expanded environmental through nutrient management
plans will likely lead to wider use of manure on cropland, at
higher production costs, but with only modest impacts on production
costs, commodity demand or farm structure. This book assesses
current patterns of use of manure as fertiliser and evaluates the
likely impacts of emerging environmental regulations on manure use.
This book also assesses current efforts to use manure for energy
production and evaluates the impact of bioenergy investments on
manure's use as fertiliser. This book consists of public documents
which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and
enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to
provide easy access.
