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]
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. The best known is nettle water, usually made from stinging nettles. Other well-known types are made from comfrey or horsetail.

[7] Industrial agriculture with synthetic fertilizers is animal-free. [4] In the United States, few industrial farms use manure.
Sewage sludge and animal manure generally have the majority of its energy contents consumed due to the original energy source (food) being digested inside the person or animal first. This allows sewage sludge and animal manure to be good candidates for co-digestion together with other feedstocks to produce a better digestate for agricultural ...
