Basic rules for planning manure handling systems Analyse and discuss the situation on each farm in order to select a suitable manure handling system which: • Optimises utilisation of nutrients • Supports good animal welfare to achieve high production • Create good and safe working conditions
Basic rules for planning manure handling systems, cont. The most suitable manure handling system for an individual farm could not be selected without taking into account: • All other handling chains on the farm • The farmer’s knowledge and future plans • The farmer’s economic situation
