The preservation of the livestock manure that grazes outdoors fertilises directly — dung and liquid manure on the spot. Regular spreading of the pats avoids rank patches. By contrast, the manure coming in from stall-keeping must be stored between mucking-out and application with as little loss as possible. The best method for preserving the fertilising force of farmyard manure including liquid manure is the one using straw bedding; the most questionable, though decidedly the most rational, is liquid manure or slurry. In slurry — liquid manure and dung combined — anaerobic fermentation processes take place under near-complete exclusion of air, in the course of which the organic nitrogen compounds mineralise to ammonia, which escapes as a gas into the air above all during spreading — with all the accompanying stench. A stirrer can mitigate this effect. The slurry acts upon the enlivening
