Download or read book Pollution Abatement from Cattle Feedlots in Northeastern Colorado and Nebraska written by Lynn K. Porter and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climatic factors, feedlot runoff, and organic material in the runoff were evaluated in experimental and commercial feedlots. The effects of slope, stocking rates, terraces, basins, and holding ponds were evaluated to obtain best controls for containing runoff. The organic manure-soil interface severely restricts the movement of water, nitrates, organic substances, and air into the soil beneath feedlots. Management practices, such as good drainage, that enhance aeration will decrease the evolution of volatile compounds.
