Varying degrees <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> separati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> solids and liquid may occur<br />
during the <strong>management</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>manure</strong>s giving rise to LIQUID<br />
and SOLID fracti<strong>on</strong>s. There are no specific <str<strong>on</strong>g>terms</str<strong>on</strong>g> to denote<br />
the different types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> LIQUID FRACTIONS but their<br />
properties vary with the proporti<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> URINE, FAECES,<br />
BEDDING and water that they c<strong>on</strong>tain. They include:<br />
• Part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the EXCRETA collected in liquid form together<br />
with washing water and some LITTER in TIED<br />
STALLS with regular removal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> SOLID MANURE<br />
(manually or with specific installati<strong>on</strong>s). The<br />
proporti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> URINE and FAECES will vary<br />
depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>management</strong> practice. Can be called<br />
"SLURRY (liquid fracti<strong>on</strong> from liquid/solid <strong>manure</strong><br />
systems in TIED STALLS)".<br />
• Seepage or drainage from MANURE in LIVESTOCK<br />
houses or <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>crete surfaces used by LIVESTOCK<br />
(HARDSTANDINGS)<br />
• Seepage or drainage (primarily urine) from cattle<br />
bedded <strong>on</strong> DEEP LITTER straw systems in LOOSE<br />
HOUSING.<br />
• Seepage or drainage from SOLID MANURE stores.<br />
• Liquid from a STRAINER BOX in a SLURRY<br />
LAGOON or from a WEEPING WALL SLURRY<br />
STORE.<br />
• Liquid derived from the MECHANICAL SEPARATION<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> SLURRY.<br />
• Clarified liquid (or SUPERNATANT) obtained from the<br />
upper layer following the settlement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> SLURRY in a<br />
LAGOON.<br />
• Thickened liquid remaining following settlement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
SLURRY in a LAGOON and removal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the upper<br />
layer <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> clarified liquid.<br />
Slurry that has underg<strong>on</strong>e the process <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> AERATION i.e.<br />
oxygenati<strong>on</strong> using special equipment, to stabilise or purify or<br />
to reduce ODOUR.<br />
AERATED SLURRY<br />
SLURRY that has underg<strong>on</strong>e the process <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ANAEROBIC<br />
DIGESTION using special plant and equipment, to stabilise,<br />
purify, reduce ODOUR and produce BIOGAS.
