Manure Management with Bedded Packs

Bedded packs can be a lower-cost option for livestock housing, but they require careful management to work well. We’ll discuss health considerations, proper design, and maintenance. We’ll also cover manure management, a brief overview of the composting process, and the importance of calculating and applying agronomic rates. Chris and Holly Gowdy will provide a demonstration of the spreader they recently acquired to apply manure from their bedded pack barn.
