Description: Liquid swine manure from eight Prince Edward Island concrete storage facilities was sampled at three depths in the fall of 1992. Samples were analysed for dry matter (OM), NH4+-N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, and B. Ory matter content and most nutrient concentrations declined as sampling depth increased except K and B which had the highest concentration at the mid depth. Samples taken from the mid depth generally represented the average manure nutrient concentrations in the storage. There were significant differences between farms on a volume basis for all parameters except P, Mg, Zn, Mn, and Fe and on a OM basis except for NH4+-N, Mg, and Mn. High manure Cu concentrations on some farms suggests that Cu toxicity problems could occur over time with high annual application rates on low pH soils. A regression analysis of the nutrient concentrations against OM indicated that P, Ca, Mg, S, Mn. and Fe could be predicted ifDM content were known but OM content was not helpful in predicting NH4+-N, Zn, K, B, or Cu.
