MANURE & COMPOST ANALYSYS

WITH THE INCREASING FOCUS ON THE ENVIROMENT,
ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN EVERY FARM PLAN

Animal waste offers a good source of nutrients for the soil. Brookside Laboratories offers complete manure analyses on all types of wastes. The complete manure test package Z002 includes: Moisture, Organic Matter, Mineral Matter, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, N03-N and NH4-N. Brookside is certified by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for manure analysis.

Compost analysis is very similar to manure analysis except maturity of the compost is an important characteristic. Also the C/N ratio provides important information on the compost quality in relation to nitrogen needs or issues with compost. The standard Brookside compost test package Z004 includes: Moisture, Organic Matter, Mineral Matter, N, C, N/C ratio, pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B. Compost particle size and maturity can also be tested. Brookside participates in the National Compost Analysis Proficiency Program in insure accurate testing.

Standard turn around on manure analysis is 2 days.
