The LPE Learning Center Manure Handling, Storage and Mortality Management team has assembled a set of resources that includes information about “traditional” manure handling, storage and land application as well as managing routine and catastrophic mortalities. Resources about “alternative” or “non-traditional” manure treatments and uses have been assembled by the Manure Treatment Technologies team.
