| What is the Impact of Manure Salts in Your Operation? |
With Dr. Jim Ladlie & ProfitPro’s Manure Management Consultants and Guest
|
Salts are among the chemical constituents of manure and include sodium, calcium,
magnesium, potassium, ammonium, chloride, and sulfate salts, along with other cations
and anions. The level of salts in manure varies depending on factors such as the type of
feed the animals are fed as well as dietary mineral salt supplements. Most people don’t
realize, that based on diets, manure can contain 25 to over 100 pounds of salts per 1,000
gallons of manure. One dairy in the Midwest was applying 800 pounds of salt per acre
annually. In this case, over a three year period, their soil became more compacted and
their silage yield declined due to high manure salt application.
The discussion will center around the components of salt, how salts are measured in
manure, the impact of salts in a livestock operation, how salt levels can be reduced in
manure and the impact of salts on soil and crop health.
Bottom line: the reduction of salt levels increases the agronomic value of manure. |
