Language: English Descriptors: Cattle manure; Dairy farms; Application to land; Dairy cows; Excretion; Waste treatment; Waste disposal; Waste utilization; Energy balance; Water use; Ammonia; Methane; Nitrogen; Phosphorus Abstract: Dairy manure management systems should account for the fate of excreted nutrients that may be of environmental concern. Currently, regulatory oversight is directed primarily at the assurance of water quality; N is the most monitored element. Land application of manure at acceptable fertilizer levels to crops produced on the farm by hauling or by pumping flushed manure effluent through irrigation systems is the basis of most systems. Nutrient losses to surface and groundwaters can be avoided, and significant economic value can be obtained from manure as fertilizer if adequate crop production is possible. Dairies with insufficient crop production potential need affordable systems to concentrate manure nutrients, thereby reducing hauling costs and possibly producing a salable product. Precipitation of additional nutrients from flushed manures with sedimented solids may be possible. Composting of separated manure solids offers a possible method to stabilize solids for distribution, but, most often, solids separated from dairy manures are fibrous and low in fertility. Manure solids combined with wastes from other sources may have potential if a marketable product can be produced or if sufficient subsidy is received for processing supplementary wastes. Solutions to odor problems are needed. Energy generated from manure organic matter, via anaerobic digestion, reduces atmospheric emissions of methane and odorous compounds. Use of constructed wetlands or harvesting of photosynthetic biomass from wastewater has the potential to improve water quality, making extensive recycling possible. 14 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Maryland; New York; Farm dairies; Musca domestica; Stomoxys calcitrans; Insect control; Manures; Waste disposal; Production costs; Regression analysis Abstract: Costs of fly control practices were estimated for 26 New York and Maryland dairy farms. Objectives were to characterize existing practices, compare them with the cost of more frequent and complete manure removal to reduce fly breeding, and to compare costs of manure removal and insecticide application. Information was collected in scouting visits and personal interviews of farm operators. Equipment, labor, and bedding costs were included for manure removal. Insecticide application cost included chemicals and labor for application. A typical farm with a stanchion barn had manure removal costs of $0.348 per cow per day. Recommended changes would increase costs by 0.016-0.033 per cow per day. Insecticide costs averaged $0.021 per cow per day. It may be possible to eliminate many of the insecticide applications on the farms by using the recommended 7-d manure removal practice. Even if insecticides are not eliminated entirely, increased manure removal costs would be offset by some reduction in insecticide cost. This also would have the additional benefit of greatly slowing the development of insecticide resistance by the flies. 21 NAL Call. No.: 100 C12CAG Cultural management of bluetongue virus vectors.

Journal of dairy science v. 77 (7): p. 1999-2007; 1994 Jul. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Cabt; Cattle manure; Water pollution; Pollution control; Dairy farms; Cattle feeding; Production costs; Environmental policy Abstract: Specific requirements for dairy manure management to protect water quality from nutrient pollution depend on the organization of individual farms. Further, the management requirements and options are different for point (farmstead) and nonpoint (field-applied) sources of pollution from farms. A formal management process can guide decisions about existing crop nutrient utilization potential, provide a framework for tracking nutrients supplied to crops, and identify future requirements for dairy manure management to protect water quality. Farm managers can use the process to plan daily activities, to assess annual nutrient management performance, and to chart future requirements as herd size increases. Agronomic measures of nutrient balance and tracking of inputs and outputs for various farm management units can provide the quantitative basis for management to allocate better manure to fields, to modify dairy rations, or to develop alternatives to on-farm manure application. Changes in agricultural production since World War II have contributed to a shift from land-based dairy production to a reliance on capital factors of production supplied by the dairy industry. Meanwhile, management of dairy manure to meet increasingly stringent water quality protection requirements is still a land-based activity. Involving the dairy industry and off-farm stakeholders as participants in the management process for field, farm, and regional dairy production can be the basis for decision-making to reconcile the sometimes conflicting demands of production and water quality protection. 25 NAL Call.

Applied engineering in agriculture v. 7 (6): p. 655-660; 1991 Nov. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Manure spreaders; Injectors; Cattle manure; Structural design Abstract: Existing solid and liquid manure spreaders are not well adapted for surface spreading or direct subsurface injection of semiliquid dairy cattle manure. By taking into account the characteristics of this type of manure, a machine for either spreading or injecting semi-liquid manure was designed and constructed. Its manure handling system consisted of a tiltable tank connected to a vibrating distribution manifold that directed the manure to the spreading or injection devices. Manure was fed to the injectors by gravity via 152 mm (6 in.) diameter hoses. The 305 mm (12 in.) wide injectors were operated at depths not exceeding 203 mm (8 in.) in order to reduce draft requirements. Results from preliminary field testing of the prototype are reported along with the design modifications that were recommended following these tests. 31 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Expert systems; Dairy farming; Farm management; Decision making; Information systems; Culling; Cattle manure; Replacement; Crops; Financial planning Abstract: An expert system, or knowledge-based, microcomputer program, DXMAS, was designed and developed to diagnose dairy management problems of dairy farmers of Tillamook County, Oregon and, as appropriate, to advance potential farm reorganization and expansion options. The program provokes management action by projecting lost income opportunities attributed to major management problems and missed reorganization and expansion opportunities. The DXMAS program analyzes annual economic and production performance data provided by dairy operators and has demonstrated the ability, in field testing of nine different dairy operations, to emulate dairy management experts in the diagnoses of 95 individual dairy management problems. In those field tests, the DXMAS program identified a variety of management problems and estimated annual lost income opportunities ranging from $25 to $450 per milk cow. Field testing suggested that the DXMAS program can provide a wide range of expert management advice to dairy operators. 34 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Dairy cows; Somatotropin; Hormone supplements; Genetic engineering; Environmental impact; Milk production; Cattle manure; Methane production; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Feed requirements; Energy requirements; Erosion; Dairy farming; Water use Abstract: The environmental impact of bovine somatotropin (bST) use in dairy cattle (Bos taurus) was analyzed with the following assumptions: base herd (1989) of 10.1 X 10(6) cows, milk production 6475 kg of 3.5% fat per 305 d; bST herd of 8.96 X 10(6) cows, 3.5 kg/d increase during 215 d treatment period; 100% adoption rate, 60 d dry period, 40% replacement rate; all formulated diet from: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay, corn (Zea mays L.) silage, cracked corn, soybean [Glycine mar (L.) Merr.] meal, and supplement to satisfy level of production. Using these assumptions, the analysis indicates that the current U.S. milk supply could be produced by 11% fewer cows fed 9% less feed produced on 6% less land, and soil loss would be 5% less. Fossil fuel requirements would be 6% less and irrigation water use would be reduced by 9%. Output of the greenhouse gas methane would be decreased 9%; manure production and outputs of N and P declined by 10, 8, and 10%, respectively. 49 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Italy; Pig manure; Dairy cattle; Cattle manure; Chemical analysis; Analytical methods; Equations; Accuracy; Instruments Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of analytical tests performed on pig and dairy cattle manure in order to establish the extent of the correlation between: dry matter (TS) and specific gravity (SG); TS and total Kjeldhal nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (Pt); SG and TKN and Pt. In addition, two N-meters for field use were also used to estimate the ammonium (NH4-H) content. All the variables (TS, SG, TKN, Pt, NH4-N) show a high index of correlation for both the pig and dairy cattle slurry and the linear relations applied proved adequate in all cases. Though the precision of the equations is not very high, the estimate for TKN and Pt content, obtained from the relationship between the SG and these elements is nevertheless acceptable for practical farm use of animal manure. 55 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Wisconsin; Dairy wastes; Cattle manure; Injections; Broadcasting; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Potassium; Zea mays; Nutrient uptake; Nutrient availability; Crop yield Abstract: Estimates of N, P, and K availability to corn (Zea mays L.) from injected dairy manure on three field sites in south central Wisconsin were make using a fertilizer equivalence approach. Nutrient uptake from treatments of a control, three rates of manure (approx. 53, 97, and 138 Mg ha-1 yr-1 on a wet basis), and three rates of broadcast fertilizer were evaluated. Crop nutrient recoveries of fertilizer N, P, and K were generally higher than crop recoveries of manure total N, P, and K. Estimates of first year N, P, and K availability showed substantial variability across rate, location, and year with standard deviations oftern about 50% of the mean. Ranges for N, P, or K availability were 12 to 63, 12 to 89, and 24 to 153%, respectively. These data do not identify those factors responsible for differences in nutrient availability from one site-year to another. Biological or chemical availability indices of a 1-wk anaerobic incubation at 40 degrees C or a 16-h autoclaving in 0.01 M CaCl2 solution were evaluated as measures of N availability and compared with field results. Correlations between measured changes in NH4-N from these indices, as well as total Kjeldahl N and inorganic N levels in the top 30 cm of soil 4 to 6 wk after treatment application, and N uptake indicated inoganic N levels to be a better index of N availability than the other indices examined. However, to determine nutrient availability on a routine basis, more reliable biological or chemical indices are necessary. A simple model may help to simulate environmental effects and the contribution of residual nutrients in the soil. 56 NAL Call.

The pH optima at different temperatures, the temperature optimum for enzyme action, pH- stability, and thermostability were determined. Preparation kinetic constants were calculated. Effective biocatalyst activity was found to depend on degree of substrate hydrolysis. The Galactosyl preparation was shown to be a high- activity biocatalyst suitable for producing glucose-galactose syrup from dairy industry wastes. 58 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Iowa; Virginia; Groundwater pollution; Contamination; Agricultural chemicals; Dairy wastes; Water quality; Farmers' attitudes; Questionnaires; Interviews; Farm management; Public opinion; Risk; Health hazards; Environmental impact; Economic impact; Crop production; Dairy farming; Agricultural policy; Programs; Incentives Abstract: Contamination of ground water from agricultural sources has been documented in a majority of the contiguous United States. In this study, we examine the potential for voluntary adoption of management practices that reduce risk of ground water contamination and discuss how farm operators' attitudes regarding the environment might affect the success of voluntary programs. Farmers' behavior and attitudes in Rockingham County, Virginia, and Big Spring Basin, Iowa, reveal that both groups consider the ground water issue to be a serious problem to which they are contributing. This awareness is a significant first step in prompting consideration of management practices that reduce the threat to ground water quality. We also found that the worst offenders"--that is, farmers applying nitrogen well above agronomic recommendations--were those with the least concern about the problem. If major shifts in farming practices are to occur voluntarily, major incentives or disincentives are needed Even though the concern about ground water quality is high, the documented risks perceived by farmers are not strongly convincing. The economic incentives for change are questionable at best. Voluntary adoption of best management practices is only one of several policy options. Ultimately, policies designed to reduce ground water contamination may need a mix of strategies, including economic incentives and disincentives, zoning and land use restrictions, environmental regulations, and bans on agricultural chemicals. 61 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Texas; Dairy farms; Dairy wastes; Water quality; Law; Profitability; Estimated costs; Cash flow; Farm indebtedness; Risk; Survival; Mathematical models Abstract: A dairy waste management spreadsheet was developed and applied along with partial budgets and whole firm, Monte Carlo simulations for Texas dairies to evaluate the impact that Texas water quality laws have on dairy profitability and survival. Results showed that representative 300- and 720-cow dairies will incur additional annual costs of $60 and $81 per cow, respectively. Compliance with water quality laws reduces net farm income by 27 and 63% for 720-cow dairies with low and high debt positions, respectively. The probability of survival of the dairies with low debt was not affected by compliance. The probability of survival of firms with high debt positions decreased by 47 percentage points. Under the conditions modeled, net farm income for representative 300-cow dairies would be negative after compliance with water quality laws. 64 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Ontario; Cattle slurry; Dairy wastes; Farm storage; Losses; Nitrogen content; Ph; Temperature; Tanks Abstract: Spatial and temporal variability in the concentration of total Kjeldahl and ammonia (NH3 + NH4+) nitrogen (TKN and AMN, respectively) was studied in 8 to 10% total solids content dairy-cattle manure slurry and its centrifuged supernatant during undisturbed storage in covered, reinforced concrete, farm storage tanks. Slurry was stored in two winter-filled tanks for 285 days, and in two additional summer-filled tanks for 146 days. Although concentration variability with time and space was small relative to the initial concentrations, slurry at depths of less than 1 m had consistently lower concentrations than at greater depths, particularly after the initital two months of storage. Mass balance for nitrogen (N) indicated a 9% loss in three of the four tanks. A lower loss (4% N) in the fourth tank was accompanied by a decrease in acetic acid concentration and a rise in slurry pH, at all depths, which was not observed in the other tanks. The lower loss of N from this tank than from the other tanks probably occurred to satisfy chemical equilibria that required a greater retention of ammonia (NH3) by the carbon dioxide (CO2) release from acetic acid breakdown. Considerations other than TKN and AMN concentration changes and equilibrium relations may also be important factors for N retention in slurry stored in farm tanks. 84 NAL Call.

A field study was conducted on an Enosburg fine sandy loam (sandy over loamy, mixed, nonacid, mesic Mollic Haplaquent) in northwestern Vermont to evaluate the effect of dairy-manure and N- fertilizer application on corn (Zea mays L.) yields and soil profile NO3 in a silage production system. Treatments consisted or a factorial arrangement of manure (0 and 9 Mg ha-1, dry-matter basis), N rate (56 and 112 kg ha-1 as NH4NO3), and time of N application (planting or six-leaf stage), as well as 0 and 168 kg N ha-1 rate at planting (with and without manure). Yields and N uptake were increased by N fertilizer and by manure. Without manure, grain and silage yields were increased by fertilizer N to the 112 kg ha-1 rate in all years; with manure, N fertilizer did not increase yields significantly. Time of application had little or no effect on yield. Plant uptake of N followed a similar pattern but with somewhat wore pronounced effects. A presidedress soil reflected N availability, as indicated relative yields. Manure application rates were equivalent, in terms of yield response, to 73 to 122 kg fertilizer N ha-1 in individual years, which represented 27 to 44% of the total manure N in the year of application. Sampling of the 1.5-m soil profile before planting and after harvest showed increases in soil NO3 that were related to the amounts of manure and fertilizer N applied. Some decreases in NO3 were measured from fall to spring sampling times, but net losses were minimal where <60 kg ha-1 NO3-N was present in the fall. Application of manure resulted in similar or slightly lower soil profile NO3 than agronomincally equivalent rates of fertilizer N. 85 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Liquid manures; Dairy wastes; Slurries; Soil injection; Nitrous oxide; Losses from soil systems; Nitrogen transfer; Denitrification; Nitrification; Anaerobic conditions; Inorganic compounds; Carbon dioxide; Nitrapyrin; Acetylene Abstract: Injection of liquid organic wastes into soil promotes conditions that may be conducive to denitrification by creating in anaerobic environment abundant in inorganic N and readily oxidizable C. To quantify gaseous N loss, we measured N2O emissions from simulated waste injections applied to soils in large wooden containers (71 by 42 by 44 cm). These containers were equipped with headspace covers for gas entrapment, soil-atmosphere wells, C2H2-dispersion tubes, soil moisture-temperature cells, and end-entry doors for soil sampling. Soil type was a Plano silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic Typic Argiudoll) packed to a bulk density of 1.1 Mg m-3 and maintained at a constant temperature of 12.0 +/- 1.4 degrees C. Liquid dairy manure was injected into the soil at rates commonly used for crop production (79 000 L ha-1). The nitrification inhibitor nitrapyrin [2-chloro-6- (trichloromethyl) pyridine] was used to further evaluate nitrification-denitrification losses. Nitrous oxide emissions, with and without C2H2 treatment, were estimated by passing air across the soil surface above an injection zone and trapping emitted N2O onto a molecular sieve. The largest emission of N2O occurred shortly after injection, followed by a shift to N2. Maximum gaseous-N loss occurred 5 d after injection and corresponded with maximum CO2 concentrations in the soil atmosphere. Nitrapyrin was effective in controlling nitrification, but did not consistently influence the rate of denitrification. When we simulated 190 mm of precipitation at 25 d after injection, increases in N2O production were minimal, possibly due to a limitation in readily oxidizable C. Total measured gaseous-N loss in the presence of C2H2 over 40 d accounted for 2.5 to 3.2% of the slurry's NH4-N, or 1.0 to 1.3% of the total N added. 89 NAL Call.

Journal of dairy science v. 75 (1): p. 345-357; 1992 Jan. Paper presented at the symposium "Nutritional Factors Affecting Animal Water and Waste Quality", August 27, 1990. Literature review. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Netherlands; Dairy cows; Agricultural wastes; Feeding standards; Pollution; Nitrogen; Feces; Urine; Diet; Phosphorus; Methane; Nutrient requirements; Literature reviews Abstract: Dairy production causes unavoidable losses in respiration, feces, and urine, which may become an environmental burden as contributors to the "greenhouse" effect (CO2, CH4) or to the pollution of air (NH3), soil surface, and sub-soil water (NO3, P). Losses in respirations can be reduced by increasing feed quality and level of production. Increased feed quality can reduce losses in methane, whereas an increased level of production decreases the relative losses in maintenance. Fecal and urinary losses can be reduced by minimizing the intake of N and P relative to energy. Further reductions can result from increasing feed quality and level of production, from matching or synchronizing die availability of N and energy in the rumen, and from shifting the site of digestion of protein and starch from the rumen to the small intestine. Improved feed quality will reduce endogenous protein losses. In order to exploit fully the potential of nutritional management in pollution control, computer simulation models describing dairy production in a dynamic way are needed. 90 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Wisconsin; Dairy wastes; Animal manures; Storage; Waste disposal; Groundwater pollution; Macropores; Leaching; Contaminants; Liners; Physicochemical properties; Macropore flow Abstract: Earthen-lined basins have been used to store dairy manure in Wisconsin since the early 1970s. Monitoring data indicate that many of these basins are leaking, but little effort has been directed toward explaining the mechanisms responsible for leakage. Morphological and micromorphological techniques were used to identify macropores in the sidewall of an earthen-lined manure storage basin. Laboratory and field dye studies provided evidence of contaminant movement via macropores. Results indicate that physicochemical and biological mechanisms were responsible for creating macropores capable of providing pathways for preferential flow. These mechanisms, and the resulting macropores, can significantly affect the long-term viability of earthen-lined manure storage basins. 91 NAL Call.

Results showed preference for residues of digested ground corn. Ovipositional preference for residues of digested ground corn over those from coarser rolled corn suggested a relationship between surface areas exposed to digestive fluids and intensity of ovipositional preference. Feces of cows that were fed complete rations formulated without corn were ovipositionally unattractive to caged M. sorbens. 92 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Pennsylvania; Dairy farming; Intensive livestock farming; Intensive cropping; Farm management; Farm inputs; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Potassium; Nitrogen economy; Farmyard manure; Nutrient cycles; Quantitative analysis Abstract: The magnitude, and spatial and temporal patterns of nutrient flow in the managed pathways of a farm are related to farm management decisions and interact with the biological processes of the farm. These descriptions of nutrient flow can be part of a nutrient management process that is consistent with the specifics of individual farm operations and particular farm performance goals. Nutrient flow in the managed pathways of a Pennsylvania dairy farm was measured at farm, field, and livestock unit boundaries using on-farm equipment scales, farm records, and material sampling and analysis. Farm nutrient inputs of N, P, and K were twofold or more greater than outputs of these nutrients in the managed pathways. The temporal distribution of flows was closely related to the livestock activities on the farm. Manure storage capacity and crop developmental stage were significant factors influencing the timing of nutrient flows to and from the fields. Nutrient inputs and outputs in the managed flows at the boundary for the set of all fields were approximately equal except for the negative calculated crop available N balance. However, the range in balances for individual fields was large. Manure N and potential biological N fixation were not used efficiently on this farm due primarily to the volatilization of N from manure and the application of manure to alfalfa. Additions of nutrients to the farm in the managed flows decreased by 26, 60, and 43% for N, P, and K, respectively, in the 2nd yr of the study due primarily to less purchased animal feeds. 99 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Infiltration; Permeability; Rain; Runoff; Soil water; Dairy wastes; Pig slurry; Literature reviews Abstract: A rainfall simulator was used on repacked Waukegan silt loam and Hubbard loamy sand soil columns to determine the combined effect of rainfall and livestock waste application on infiltration and runoff. Dairy and swine waste slurries were either surface-applied or incorporated. Livestock waste application noticeably reduced the amount of runoff during a series of artificial rainfall events for all cases with the exception of swine waste incorporated into the silt loam soil. Loamy sand exhibited short-term plugging when both wastes were surface-applied with no incorporation. Surface-application of dairy waste on the silt loam soil apparently prevented formation of a surface seal and improved the infiltration capacity. of the soil. Less surface-scaling in waste-applied columns may be attributed to increased organic matter on the surface of the soil that aided aggregate stability. Also. the waste particles protected the surface from the energy of the impacting raindrops. 100 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Cabt; Dairy cows; Manures; Total solids; Feed intake; Phosphorus; Excretion Abstract: Total quantities of urine and feces excreted daily were collected from 12 lactating Holstein dairy cow averaging 567 kg (1250 lb) on fixed feed intake averaging 20 kg (44 lb) of dry matter per day, or 16 kg (36 lb) of dry matter per day per 454 kg (1000 lb) of body weight. Amounts of total and volatile solids, acid detergent lignin phosphorus in feces, and phosphorus in urine were determined Cows excreted an average of 44.6 kg (98.1 lb) of raw waste, 6.08 kg (13.1 lb) of total solids in feces, and 0.16 kg (0.3 lb) of fixed solids in feces daily, expressed per 454 kg (1000 lb) of body weight. Total solids of feces represented 36.4% of the daily diet dry matter intake. These values are greater than table values developed by previous researchers and used to design dairy farm facilities. Feces to urine ratio (w/w) ranged from 1.4:1 to 1.9:1. Fecal grab samples (n = 383)from cows on commercial dairies, for which estimated daily intake of feed was available, had greater acid detergent lignin content (16.9 vs. 13.8%) and about 60% more than cows on the total collection trial (4.2 vs. 2.6%), perhaps due to some ingestion of sand on pasture. For all fecal samples fixed solids percentages were much less than table values developed by previous researchers. Differences may be due, in part, to improved genetic potential of cows, because of increased feed intake, climate, or intensive management practices. Our research also confirmed that the quantity of phosphorus (P) excreted in feces was variable, but depended on intake of dietary P. 101 NAL Call. No.: SF191.D3 Profit tips. Annexstad, J.

Laboratory-reared fly pupae were exposed at each site to monitor parasitoid activity. Incidence of fly immatures was significantly related to substrate, moisture, and location, but not to indoor or outdoor exposure. Incidence was greatest at wet sites, particularly in manure, bedding, and feed, and lowest at dry sites. Locations with the highest incidence were lean-to, silo, calf pen, outdoor manure pile, outdoor manure ramp, and manure lagoon. Incidence of Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, Urolepis rufipes (Ashmead), Spalangia cameroni Perkins (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and total parasitism were positively associated with the presence of fly immatures, but Phygadeuon fumator Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) was independent. With respect to substrate, moisture, and exposure, parasitism was generally distributed in a pattern similar to that of the flies. However, incidence of parasitism was greater, relative to that of fly immatures, in grass and earth substrates, but lower in wet manure and feed. With respect to location, parasitism was high at manure ramps and low in calf pens and in manure sheds, relative to fly immatures. The guild of parasitoids attacking synanthropic muscoid pupae appears to cover all appropriate host microhabitats at dairies in central New York. 107 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Vermont; Dairy wastes; Farmyards; Runoff; Biological treatment; Waste water treatment; Filter beds; Festuca; Poa; Lolium; Nutrient content; Phosphorus; Nitrogen content; Escherichia coli; Streptococcus; Water quality Abstract: A vegetative filter strip was installed to treat barnyard runoff from an active dairy farm in Vermont. Runoff from a concrete surfaced barnyard flowed through a detention pond, then onto a vegetative filter strip measuring 22.9 m by 7.6 m with a 2% slope. The water input and surface and subsurface outputs for the strip were continuously monitored from December 1984 through May 1986. Of the total barnyard runoff entering the strip, 65% left as surface runoff and 27% was measured as subsurface outflow. The average hydraulic loading rate was 14.7 cm wk-1 and the average overland flow detention time was 15 min. The filter strip did not significantly (P < 0.05) reduce solids, P, N and bacteria concentrations in the surface output. Over the period of study the mass retention was 33% total suspended solids, 12% total P and 18% total Kjeldahl N. Mass retention was highest during the growing season and was poorest during snowmelt periods. It was concluded that poor filter strip performance was due to an excessive hydraulic loading rate resulting in an inadequate detention time for proper treatment. A preferential flow path from the level lip spreader to the subsurface drain tiles may have contributed to the poor subsurface treatment performance. 124 NAL Call.

They are 1) individuals; 2) libraries, other information centers, and commercial organizations; and 3) foreign libraries, information centers, and commercial organizations. Available services for each user category are given below. For information on electronic access for interlibrary loan requests, the "Interlibrary Loan" file. 1) DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS The National Agricultural Library (NAL) supplies agricultural materials not found elsewhere to other libraries. Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL is viewed as a library of last resort. SUBMIT REQUESTS FIRST TO LOCAL OR STATE LIBRARY SOURCES PRIOR TO SENDING TO NAL. In the United States, possible sources are public libraries, land-grant university or other large research libraries within a state. In other countries submit requests through major university, national, or provincial institutions. If the needed publications are not available from these sources, submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their non-availability. Submit one request per page following the instructions for libraries below. NAL'S DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE INFORMATION FOR THE LIBRARY The following information is provided to assist your librarian in obtaining the required materials. LOAN SERVICE -- Materials in NAL's collection are loaned only to other U.S. libraries. Requests for loans are made through local public, academic, or special libraries. The following materials are not available for loan: serials (except USDA serials); rare, reference, and reserve books; microforms; and proceedings of conferences or symposia. Photocopy or microform of non-circulating publications may be purchased as described below. DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Photocopies of articles are available for a fee. Make requests through local public, academic, or special libraries. The library will submit a separate interlibrary loan form for each article or item requested. If the citation is from an NAL database (CAIN/AGRICOLA, "Bibliography of Agriculture," or the NAL Catalog) and the call number is given, put that call number in the proper block on the request form. Willingness to pay charges must be indicated on the form. Include compliance with copyright law or a statement that the article is for "research purposes only" on the interlibrary loan form or letter. Requests cannot be processed without these statements. Please read copyright notice below. CHARGES: * Photocopy, hard copy of microfilm and microfiche - $5.00 for the first 10 pages or fraction copied from a single article or publication. $3.00 for each additional 10 pages or fraction. * Duplication of NAL-owned microfilm - $10.00 per reel. * Duplication of NAL-owned microfiche - $5.00 for the first fiche and $ .50 for each additional fiche per title.

The National Agricultural Library (NAL) accepts requests from libraries and other organizations in accordance with the national and international interlibrary loan code and guidelines. In its national role, NAL supplies copies of agricultural materials not found elsewhere. Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL is viewed as a library of last resort. Submit requests to major university libraries, national or provincial institutions or network sources prior to sending requests to NAL. If the needed publications are not available from these sources, submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their non-availability. AGLINET -- Requesters in countries with an AGLINET library are encouraged to make full use of that library and its networking capabilities. As an AGLINET participant, NAL provides free document delivery service for materials published in the United States to other AGLINET participants. REQUESTS -- Submit requests on the American Library Association (ALA) or the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) interlibrary loan form or via electronic mail or telefacsimile (see over for more details). Include the complete name of the person authorizing the request on each form; the standard bibliographic source which lists the title as owned by NAL; and the call number if the citation is from an NAL database(CAIN/AGRICOLA, "Bibliography of Agriculture", or the NAL catalog). DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Submit a separate completed interlibrary loan form for each article requested. Indicate willingness to pay charges on the form, and compliance with copyright law or include a statement that the article is for "research purposes only". Requests cannot be processed without these statements. Please read copyright notice below. CHARGES: * Photocopy, hard copy of microfilm and microfiche - $5.00 for the first 10 pages or fraction copied from a single article or publication. $3.00 for each additional 10 pages or fraction. * Duplication of NAL-owned microfilm - $10.00 per reel. * Duplication of NAL-owned microfiche - $5.00 for the first fiche and $ .50 for each additional fiche per title. BILLING - Charges include postage and handling, and are subject to change.
