How to Take Samples—Animal Waste
Animal Waste (Manure)
Sample size required: 1-1 1/2 to 2 cups (minimum of 8 oz.)
Agitate liquid manure enough to suspend solids. For piles
or dry lots, take sub samples from different areas and different
depths of the manure pack. Remember the samples you submit should
be representative of your pit contents, pile or feedlot. Sub
samples from different tanks, trucks or spreaders, mixed together
in a large pail will give you a better representative sample
to submit to the laboratory. Samples need to be in a wide mouth
bottle, do not fill the container to the top. Leave space for
expansion. Place the sample container in the plastic zip lock
bag and securely seal the mailing box. Refrigerate, freeze or
keep samples in a cool place until shipment.
