Manure Management Plan
Manure Management Plan
Plan
Ensure that your Manure Management Plan is cross-referenced with your Integrated Nutrient
Management Plan.
• The value of manure, slurry, compost, anaerobic digestate, industrial waste and
other organic materials in your enterprise
• Map of NVZs
• Field records including application date and application rate
• Registration of industrial waste (other than sewage sludge) to local authorities under
local legislation
• Calculations of adequate safe holding capacity of slurry and manure
• Strategies to minimise emissions during slurry application
The implementation of the plan should also be reviewed at least annually, recording progress
towards all targets. This should also consider how the strategies have been implemented, and
whether this can be improved. If necessary, the findings from this review should inform
updates to the plan.
LEAF’s Management Plans and Policies are designed to help you implement Integrated Farm Management. Producing them enables you to reflect on
your management practices and consider efficiencies and improvements, as well as focus on certain priority areas in more detail and consider how to
use them effectively for internal communication and in some case, externally. They also ensure your plans are integrated across the whole farm business.
These Management Plans and Policies reflect the best available information on the topic as of the publication date. While all reasonable endeavours
have been made to ensure the accuracy of the investigations and the information contained in this report, LEAF does not take any responsibility for any
and all liabilities contingent or otherwise that may arise from the use of the information.
Following these guidelines does not automatically assume that you are compliant to the LEAF Marque Standard, you must always refer to the current
LEAF Marque Standard and the requirements held within that.
