[QUOTE="Dave, post: 334090, member: 498"] The fertilizer value of the hay before going through the cow would be slightly higher but it wouldn't be plant available nearly as soon. In terms of the N. All the N in the hay is in the form of organic N. In the cow manure about half is still organic N and half has been converted to ammioum and less than one percent being nitrate. Organic N must be broke down by the micro organisms in the soil who convert it to ammoium or nitrate for it to be plant available. This takes a combination of the right soil temperature and soil moisture to occur. Dave [/QUOTE]
