Abstract
A method of controlling ammonia levels and soluble phosphorus generated from the animal waste in milking parlors comprising applying to the parlor floor an acidic aluminum salt liquid. The treatment effective amount is effective to reduce phosphorus solubility in the manure; reduce phosphorus runoff and/or phosphorus leaching from fields fertilized with manure; inhibit ammonia volatilization from the manure; flocculate solids in the manure; reduce pathogens in the manure; increase the nitrogen content in the manure; and/or reduce acid rain associated with the manure.
