Animal Waste Management
Economies of scale are forcing the livestock industry in
New England to increase animal numbers and intensify the land application
of manure to agricultural lands, which also poses a threat to surface and
ground water quality throughout New England. The New England
Program’s Animal Waste Management focus area and its collective partners
are assisting farmers with research-based manure and feed management programs,
tools, and technology that minimize impacts to ground and surface waters
due to nutrients and pathogens.
