Table explanation
This table comprises information about livestock manure production and production of nitrogen and phosphate in manure. It also includes data on excreted nitrogen that evaporates as ammonia and other nitrogen compounds. The use of nitrogen and phosphate in agricultural holdings is calculated from the manure production and the difference between supply and removal of manure on agricultural holdings. The use of manure is related to the available spreading area based on fertilising standards. Developments in the production and use of animal manure can be compared with some key figures on livestock numbers and areas of arable land and grassland.
Data available from: 1950-2013.
Status of the figures:
- Figures up to and including 2012 are final figures.
- Figures for 2013 are provisional figures. Because this table is put to a stop, data wil not be made final.

Description topics
- Transport, processing and export
- Manure processing
- Manures processing where end product is no longer considered as manure.
---
For example manure incineration or aerobic treatment of manure from fattening calves. Manure processing along with manure exports accounts for most of the difference between the removal of manure by agricultural holdings with a manure surplus and the supply of manure to other agricultural holdings.- Processed nitrogen (N)
- Amount of nitrogen no longer used as animal manure in agriculture through manure processing (e.g. incineration and treatment of liquid manure from fattening calves).
- Processed phosphate (P2O5)
- Amount of phosphate no longer used as animal manure in agriculture through manure processing (e.g. incineration and treatment of liquid manure from fattening calves).
