Liquid plant manures are fermented extracts of plant material that are used primarily as fertilizers, but also for pest control, plant strengthening and other phytosanitary purposes.

For instance, sheep manure is high in nitrogen and potash, while pig manure is relatively low in both. Horses mainly eat grass and a few weeds, so horse manure can contain grass and weed seeds, because horses do not digest seeds as cattle do. Cattle manure is a good source of nitrogen as well as organic carbon. [3]
