In this article, I will share some of the problems associated with not having a solid system to deal with manure as part of your overall horse management program and cover the benefits of composting. We will go through the steps to manage compost and wind up with guidelines for using finish...
Weldon's comments on our recent paper (Zhou et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 117:32493, 2020a), where we reported that BCP/BCPO (beta-caryophyllene/caryophyllene oxide) in fresh horse manure is sufficient to drive manure rolling behavior (HMR) in giant panda and attenuate the cold ...
Up until the late 1800s, people often simply tossed their household garbage into the gutter in cities such as New York, where it was common to see knee-high piles of food waste, broken furniture, horse manure and even dead animals on street corners [source: Oatman-Stanford]. The Problem...
Mushrooms can grow nearly anyplace that is rich enough in nutrients, moist enough and shaded adequately. They often grow on animal droppings, such as horse and cow dung. The mushrooms on cow poop, however, are not necessarily the same species as those that grow on horse manure. Identifying f...
• Manage manure. How you do this will depend on your setup. You can compost it. Done right, composting generates enough heat to kill fly larvae as well as parasite eggs and larvae. You can spread some on fields as fertilizer (but not on horse pastures—that would encourage parasite tra...
I am arguing with him that this is sick and dangerous for anyone eating these vegetables. His argument is that I use horse manure for fertilization purposes – what’s the difference? Does anyone have any answers / advice? Reply larssays: ...
If you have sandy soil,add humus or aged manure, peat moss, or sawdust with some extra nitrogen. Heavy, clay-rich soil can also be added to improve the soil. If you have silty soil,add coarse sand (not beach sand), or gravel and compost, or well-rotted horse manure mixed with fresh...
and to do that, all the vegetation must be removed. One way or another, you’re going to need to clear the land of everything currently growing on it. Instead of hacking away at turf or double-digging, the way that I recommend doing it is to use black plastic to kill weeds. It’...
N stands for nitrogen which helps plants make leafy growth. For nitrogen they will tell you how much manure to use. If you are using fresh manure, spread it on in the fall so it can break down over the winter and be safe for spring planting. If you prefer, dried blood, alfalfa, soy...
Livestock, not only cattle, contribute to methane off-gasing now but less in the future when as a result terperatures will be go down. Technologies and new research are providing the new solutions ranging from methane digesters on farm manure holding lagoons and non-gmo genetics to breed low...
