On the basis of a literature review, a summary table is constructed, giving indicative nutrient losses for six different systems of collection and storage of cattle manure. Results of a scenario approach indicate that with intensification and import of external nutrients, nutrient and manure availability increase. Risks for nutrient losses also increase substantially, unless manure collection and storage are improved at the same time

Information on nutrient losses between excretion and application of manure is still limited under smallholder conditions in the tropics, also due to the wide variation in farming conditions and variation in livestock and manure management. In the first part of this report manure quality, mainly from cattle, and nutrient losses during manure collection and storage are reviewed. The second part explores and discusses effects of 8 cattle and manure management scenarios on nutrient and manure availability.
