The largest differentiator in liquid manure application is surface versus injection. The latter can be particularly advantageous for no-till systems, cutting down on nutrient losses through preventing surface runoff and volatilization, loss of applied nitrogen as ammonia gas. That might prompt one to ask: “If it’s so beneficial and simple, why isn’t everyone doing it?” To answer that question, it comes down to one fact: it might be beneficial, but it’s not necessarily “so simple.” Liquid manure injection might be viewed as a positive, one-pass, multi-tasking option. There are, however, associated concerns around the potential for creating an environment conducive for denitrification, a microbial process ultimately resulting in nitrous oxide gas.

About 70 percent of U.S. dairy herds are affected by digital dermatitis. Worse yet, 95 percent of the large herds have digital dermatitis. Copper sulfate foot baths are being widely used to treat the disease. And because one bath can only treat 150 to 300 cows, they are constantly being dumped out into the farm’s manure holding system and replaced. This means a herd of 1,000 cows goes through three to four foot baths several times a week. While effective, constant reliance on copper sulfate foot baths can lead to an accumulation of copper in the soil, groundwater, manure and livestock. This means that over time, copper has been building up in the environment very gradually
