Product Information

Bacterial infections such as E. coli and Salmonella will also result in diarrhoea. Exact infections can be hard to diagnose as a negative faecal culture does not necessarily mean the infection does not exist and multiple cultures may be necessary, along with antibiotics.

Whether the bedding is saw dust or straw, this tends to provide a good ratio of carbon to nitrogen. If you’re putting in old stable bedding material, you’ve scored a bonus. Contained in this will be urine, which is rich in potassium, nitrogen and sulphur, so you may not need to correct for any deficiencies. However, if the stable material is sawdust or wood shavings, these use large amounts of nitrogen in breaking down and will nearly always create a deficiency. This being the case, add a rich nitrogen-based fertilizer as you go. Using horse manure compost in your garden will also improve the soil’s ability to retain moisture and can be especially useful to improve free-draining soils too. When using horse manure as fertilizer, wear gloves and a face mask to avoid breathing in dust particles. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the manure. Horse manure is a common by-product of horse ownership, but it’s important to dispose of it correctly. Not only can improper disposal of horse manure lead to pollution, but it can also be a health hazard. Here are some of the reasons why proper disposal of horse manure is important:Mix these materials together in a pile, ensuring the carbon-rich and nitrogen-rich materials are evenly distributed.

If you’re tempted not to add any fertiliser, bear in mind that any deficiencies in your soil will show in your plant matter as well as your horse dung, and, ultimately, your compost. It’s a chance to break that cycle. A sprinkling of fertiliser as you go, preferably one with a high nitrogen content, will help speed up the composting process and improve your end product. Birds, on the other hand, excrete through one hole only, meaning all these essential exhaust nutrients are rolled into one neat product. While the verdict is still out on oxo-biodegradable bags, we recommend the eco-conscious dog poop bag buyer instead look to bags made from recycled plastic and bioplastics that are made from non-petroleum sources.

Let’s assume you’re not really wanting to invest in building or buying compost bins, nor be too scientific about how much fertiliser to add. After all, we’re making compost, not baking a cake! You may also be able to make an arrangement to collect either composted horse manure or horse manure that you can compost yourself at home if you reach out to local equestrian centres, riding schools, stables, farms, or rural horse owners in your area. The nutrient profile of horse manures can vary significantly, depending on the source, what horses are fed etc.

If you follow these safety precautions, horse manure can be a safe and effective fertilizer for your garden. 2. What are the best ways to store horse manure?
