ASAE/ASABE D384.2 (R2024)

This standard provides three types of information for estimating characteristics of livestock and poultry manure:

• Typical characteristics for manure "as-excreted" by livestock and poultry based on typical diets and animal performance levels in 2002 (Section 3);
• Equations for estimating manure excretion characteristics based on animal performance and dietary feed and nutrient intake specific to an individual situation (Sections 4 through 9);
• Typical characteristics for manure "as-removed" from manure storage or animal housing (Section 10).
