Manure is a nutrient resource. To get the most value from this resource, you need accurate information on nutrient content, which means testing manure for content. This bulletin discusses collecting representative manure samples, selecting an analytical laboratory, requesting key nutrient analyses and usable reporting units from laboratories, choosing on-farm tests for manure nitrogen (N) content, and determining testing needs for different manure handling and storage systems. Supplemented with tables, glossary, reference lists, and test descriptions. 12 pages.
