Manure nutrient recovery, removal, and reuse on California dairies
Abstract California is the leading US dairy state, with over 1.7 million cows. Surplus nutrients in manure, especially nitrogen (N), present significant environmental challenges to local air and water quality. Novel nutrient recovery technologies can reduce adverse manure nitrogen impacts, including losses to groundwater, while increasing the ...
