Mulches animal manures

In terms of economics or cost accounting, no wood products may be worth hauling to the field. Since their nutrient value is negligible, almost their whole value is dependent upon the value put on them as mulches and as humus sources. The situation here is even more unfavorable than for animal manures, discussed above the latter at least have a considerable nutrient value per ton even though the moisture content is much higher. 

Animal manures are sometimes used as trash mulches and merely left on the surface. In such cases decomposition is retarded because of lack of moisture, and some of the ammonia formed may be volatilized. Most of the nutrients are, however, leached into the soil and any losses sustained are balanced against the benefits derived from soil protection against erosion. The more bedding material in the manure, the more effective this type of use is likely to be. 

The main sources of plant nutrients in alternative farming systems are animal and green manures. A green manure crop is a grass or legume that is plowed into the soil or surface-mulched at the end of a growing season to enhance soil productivity. 

Entrance through breaks in the skin from penetrating or crushing trauma. Persons handing jute or contact with manure. Inhalation, contact with lesions. Silica workers, people exposed to heat and organic dusts, medical personnel, animal caretakers. Bite by infected deer tick. Contact with brush, shrubs, garden lawn, soil, mulch. Persons active outdoors such as gardeners, hikers, campers, hunters, and outdoor workers.
