A small horse farm example

the long version

This booklet is part of a series of livestock information books developed to help farmers understand the implications of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 and the associated regulations and protocols. The act addresses how nutrients, including manure, are managed while they are stored and applied to farmland for the purpose of growing agricultural crops. It uses the example of a small horse breeding farm that has decided to expand from 4 horses to 10 horses. It examines the issues that the farmer needs to consider when completing a nutrient management strategy and/or plan and provides some options for their consideration.
