Abstract

The objective of the conference is to provide an overview of issues related to the interaction of nutrients, pathogens, the environment, and animal agriculture. Presentations will discuss nutrients and water quality; forces of change in animal agriculture; EPA and NRCS goals in nutrient management; waterborne pathogens; dairy, poultry, and swine manure management practices; feed management to reduce excess nutrients; the fate of land-applied nutrients and pathogens; the phosphorus index; land application; site management; and nutrient management plans. Conference speakers include over 30 experts from the land grant universities, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the private sector. The published conference proceedings, which will be provided to all conference participants, will be useful in developing comprehensive nutrient management plans and public policy. The USDA Water Quality Working Group provided seed money to initiate conference planning and develop the conference proceedings.
