Ammonia & Nitrate

Measures the inorganic portion of the manure.

pH

Measures acidity or alkalinity of manure.  This can be variable, dependent upon the feed and bedding practices associated with the animal production systems.  The pH of the manure directly influences the amount of ammonia volatilization.

Ash

Measures the inorganic solids of the manure.

Volatile Solids

Measures the level of organic solids

Electrical Conductivity

Measures the soluble salt content of the manure.

Water Extractable Phosphorus (WEP)

Accurately determines available P (soluble P).
