As no manure spreading should be done during the winter, storage is necessary and manure has to be applied during the spring. On pasture that will be grazed or cut for silage, manure spread on surface can lead to high level of contamination with possible transfer of disease organisms to grazing stock and also result in herbage rejection. Shallow injection reduce those risks and using this technique, application can be done more frequently with lower application rates. Tested were done with cattle to verify if manure application would result in herbage rejection. The experiment compared manure applied on surface thus contaminating the herbage, manure injected in the soil at a shallow depth and no application. The cattle preference went to herbage that did not received manure, followed by manure injection where they could graze as soon as 10 min. after the application and finally when the animal don’t have the choice than graze on the contaminated swards they seemed to adapt. More research is being done to evaluate herbage intake and milk yield of dairy cows grazing under the two manure application technique.<\/p>\n
Frequent and low rate manure application can lead to improvement in the pasture yield. No information is given on the risk of disease transmission and also on the milk quality particularly for the surface manure application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
