Description: At present, the most practical and environmentally acceptable use for animal manure is recycling on cropland. In Canada this recycling system requires large manure-tight storages to accumulate the solid and liquid components whenever weather, soil, or cropping practices prevent manure-spreading and associated tillage operations. Storage for at least 5-7 mo may be required, depending on the length of the winter-spring period. For some cropping systems, 12 mo storage is desirable. This makes manure storage a major capital investment in the land recycling system. To meet pollution control and storage requirements for the range of Canadian conditions, the Canada Plan Service (CPS) has developed eight manure storage designs (Fig. 1). These designs are not necessarily complete and final, since the various CPS subcommittees and the Design Center periodically make improvements, corrections and additions. Detailed plans and descriptive leaflets are available for each design. This paper presents the design concepts and comparative construction cost estimates for these eight storages in a range of sizes. This cost study is part of a comprehensive systems analysis of the manure utilization problem. The study does not include storages built into the livestock housing structure (for example, storage under slotted floors or poultry cages).
