CHAPTER 4
a Bulk density of raw manure is about 32 cu ft/ton, or 62 lb/cu ft, or 8.4 lb/gal with no flushing or wash water
b Five-day biochemical oxygen demand
c Chemical oxygen demand
d Moisture content
e Evaporation and decomposition reduce feedlot manure in dry climates to 1 to 2 tons of 50% moisture content manure for a 150- to 180- day feeding period.
* For gestating sows and boars that are limit fed, the Midwest Plan Service recommends using hog feeder data prorated according to weight and divided by 2.
