Abstract

This chapter discusses optimizing slurry management in agricultural practices. It begins by first highlighting current decision tools for optimizing manure management, then goes on to review modifying animal slurry pH to enhance its value as a biobased fertilizer through methods such as bio acidification and alkalinization. A section on improving manure management systems to minimize trade-offs is also provided, followed by an overview of combining manure management with anaerobic digestion. The chapter also reviews pre- and post-treatment for anaerobic digestion as well as the optimization of anaerobic digestion operations to optimize digestate quality.
