Abstract
A major consideration of animal lot management is preventing pollution of surface and groundwater sources by manure, soil, chemicals or other contaminants. Improved lot management practices not only help prevent contamination of water, they can improve animal health, ease of maintenance, and the quality of meat or milk. This factsheet discusses several important lot management points, including distance from well, site characteristics, clean water diversion, runoff control systems, manure collection, storage and use, concentration of animals and type of lot surface, and treatment of abandoned animal lots. A list of reference sources and diagrams for a confinement area and detention pond are also included. 8 pages.
