dung, the contents of stables and barnyards, decaying animal or vegetable substances, etc.
Excreta of animals, dung and urine (commonly with some bedding).
Material used as fertilizer (e.g., organic material and excreta).
Generally, the refuse from stables and barnyards, including both animal excreta and straw or other litter. In some other countries the term "manure" is used more broadly and includes both farmyard or animal manure and "chemical manures," for which the term "fertilizer" is used in the United States.
any animal waste or plant material used to fertilize land, especially animal feces.
Organic material excreted from animals, used as fertilizer and organic amendment to enrich the soil.
Animal manure, as well as human sewage contains bacteria and microscopic organisms that cause disease.
Animal dung generally mixed with the bedding straw and 'composted'.
Organic waste products, largely of animal origin, used to ameliorate soil both as a source of nutrient s and as soil conditioner.
means some types of organic matter used as fertilizer for land. The word is also sometime used as a polite word for an animal's feces.
Animal excreta with or without a mixture of bedding or litter.
waste matter from animals that is put into the soil to produce better crops ..... return
Nitrogen feeds the microorganisms in soil that make humus from a compost pile. Manure is rich in nitrogen (especially chicken, goat, and steer manures), and is thus a valuable component of compost. It is also rich in potassium and phosphorus. Manure should be composted (or at least aged) before use in the garden because of its high nitrogen --and ammonia-- content, which can both easily burn plants. Composting will also kill any weed seeds that may have survived the animal's stomach(s).
Animal feces and urine plus materials such as bedding and water.
any animal or plant material used to fertilize land especially animal excreta usually with litter material
spread manure, as for fertilization
Dried, pulverized, shredded, composted, or otherwise processed, manipulated, or treated animal manures are the excreta of animals together with whatever organic bedding or other materials are needed to follow good dairy barn, feedlot, poultry house, etc., practice in order to maintain proper sanitary conditions, to conserve plant food elements in the excreta, and to absorb the liquid portion without the addition of other material.
Animal dung, compost or other decomposed organic material used to fertilize soil.
Feces, urine, other excrement, and bedding produced by livestock that has not been composted.
Refuse from stables or farmyards which includes animal excreta and straw.
(Fumier) Solid and liquid animal excretion mixed with bedding. This mixture contains less than 85% water or more than 15% dry matter.
Conventional and organic agriculture both use manure as part of their regular farm soil fertilization programs. Part of the certification process for organic farms involves strict farm plans detrailing methods used to build soil fertility including manure applications. The U.S. Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 imposes strict control on the use of manure. In addition, certified organic farmers are prohibited from using raw manure at least 60 days before harvesting crops.
the fecal and urinary defecation of livestock and poultry List of Glossary Terms
The fecal and urinary excretions of livestock.
Dung and urine of animals that can be used as a form of organic fertilizer. See fertilizer, organic fertilizer.
Accumulations of solid or liquid animal excreta usually from stables and barnyards with or without litter material. Its chief application is as a fertilizer. (From Webster's 3d ed)
Excreta of animals, with or without an admixture of bedding or litter, fresh or at various stages of decomposition or composting. In some countries the term may denote any fertilizer material.
The accumulated moist animal excrement that does not undergo decomposition or drying as would occur on open grazing land or natural habitat.

The fecal and urinary defecation of livestock; may include spilled feed, bedding litter, or soil (USEPA, 1993).
Poop, nanny berries, fecal matter, excrement.
A mixture of bedding straw and animal dung which is lifted out of sheds and stored in heaps (middens) for a period to decompose before being spread on the land. Provides a useful amount of organic matter and some nutrients.

Hmmmm...... Organic matter, excreted by animals, which is used as a soil amendment and fertilizer. Green manures are plant cover crops which are tilled into the soil.

Animal excreta collected from stables and barnyards with or without litter; used to enrich the soil.
Manure is organic matter used as fertilizer in agriculture. Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. Higher organisms then feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life that comprises the soil food web.
