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. The use of manure is related to the available spreading area based on fertilising standards.
Data available from 1950 to 2017.
Status of the figures:
The 2017 data is provisional; all other data are final.
Changes as of 4 May 2018:

Description topics
- Manure removal from farms
- Removal of manure from agricultural holdings.
Removal of manure is mainly due to a lack of sufficient land area for spreading manure. The manure spreading allowance for a farm is calculated as area of agricultural land multiplied by the amount of manure allowed per hectare.- Removed manure
- Nitrogen (N) in removed manure
- Phosphate (P2O5) in removed manure
- Manure supply to farms
- Supply of manure takes place mainly on agricultural holdings with enough land available for spreading manure.
- Supplied manure
- Nitrogen (N) in supplied manure
- Phosphate (P2O5) in supplied manure
