Manure management refers to the capture, storage, treatment and utilization of animal manures in an environmentally sustainable manner, and it can be retained in various holding facilities in liquid, slurry or solid form. Manure includes not just livestock feces but also livestock bedding, urine and other body secretions, and it should be applied to fields in amounts that enrich soils without causing water pollution or unacceptably high levels of nutrient enrichment. Manure management is itself a component of the broader practice of nutrient management.
