Cow and Pig Manures While cows eat many of the same plants eaten by horses‚ weed seeds do not survive in a cow’s digestive system. Cattle (along with goats‚ sheep‚ deer‚ and some other animals) are ruminants that have a system of two stomachs to double-digest their food. Cattle manure is often collected as a slurry‚ does not have bedding materials mixed in with it‚ and will break down easily. For these reasons‚ cow manure is better than horse manure in a compost pile. Nitrogen level is lower than

degradation‚ and increased soil acidity level and soil nutrient imbalance have drawn the attention of researchers back to the use of manures that are also known as organic fertilizers. Several organic materials have been reported as suitable soil amendments for increasing crop production. The potential of cow dung‚ poultry droppings‚ refuse compost and farmyard manure as suitable soil amendments in the tropics has been reported [1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 4]. Application of organic materials as fertilizers provides

Manures The deficiency of plant nutrients and organic matter in the soil is made up by adding manures and fertilizers to the soil of crop-fields. Both manures and fertilizers are major sources of nutrients of plants‚ so they are used in crop production. Besides water CO2 and sunlight plants required no. of elements for their growth. These elements are known as nutrient. Plants get their elements from the salt of these elements present in the soil. But after repeated cultivation of plants soil become

Types Of Organic Matter a) Animal Manure These are usually animal droppings or dung‚urine and slaughter house wastes . Animal wastes provide the largest source of plant nutrients . Among animal or organic manure farmyard‚ manure (FYM) is most common and important source . FYM is more or less decomposed mixture of animal droppings‚ urine with the straw or other litter that is used in the yards to absorb the liquid portions and keep the animal lean; left over fodders

Traditional foods are produced with traditional gardening‚ the production based on hybridizing. Before we use chemical fertilizers‚ herbicides‚ and pesticides‚ the farmers used to use the animal manure to give nutrition to the seeds. The seeds absorb the nutrition from the land and the animal manure to grow up. The traditional agricultural system can classify into “Mixed Subsistence Farming”‚ the livestock and crops combined into one ecosystem (Biology‚ 1998‚ para.1). Organic farming method

cowbells in the distance (implying that the cows are leaving the farm) are clear images of the man’s loneliness. The speaker moves on to spot some horse manure. This dung‚ after being left for over a year‚ has dried and is turning into stones. The changing of this manure symbolizes the man’s changing into an old‚ lifeless man. Just as the manure does‚ the longer the man sits there and waits for something‚ the more prone he is to dry up and waste his life. Before the last line of the poem‚ the speaker
