Effluent
Use of dairy effluent as a source of nutrients for pasture growth has become commonplace, however frequently farmers have little insight on the nutrient composition of effluent being applied, which will change regularly depending on animal feed inputs. This can result in sub-optimal use of effluent as a resource or over application of other nutrient sources, such as fertilizer. As such, Hill Labs has developed a specific test, the Dairy Effluent Test, for testing effluent composition.
