Subj: horse manure management

I wish to learn of any available publications explaining management
issues for horse manure with bedding. Scale of operation may be
for the single horse or large stables.

In the northeastern states horse manure management is being
increasingly required as public concerns for environmental
protection are being expressed. Public policymakers are usually
working with little or inadequate technical information to fairly
assess risks and management options.

Issues I hope to see discussed include nutrient content and
potential for leaching, coliform or other microbial concerns,
usefulness of materials in soils, composting guidance, other
environmental or public health issues.

are there mailing groups other than sanet-mg that might be useful
to address? other sources of such info.?

Thank you for considering this inquiry.
