How to use our Livestock Slurry Storage Calculator.

Our livestock slurry storage calculator is a simple tool to use;

1. Input Livestock
   • Choose from the 14 different cattle classifications (Dairy cows, beef sucklers, calves, etc.)
   • Enter animal counts in the “No Of Head” column for each relevant category
2. Input Total Amount Collected as Slurry
   • As default the “total amount collected as slurry” is set to 100% i.e, this amuses that all livestock excreta is collected within slurry tanks etc.
   • This figure can be adjusted as necessary if only a certain amount is collected aas slurry i.e, cattle have a straw bedding area.
3. Input Housing Periods
   • Specify weeks of indoor housing (0-52) for each group.
   • Our system auto-populates standard excreta volumes from DEFRA-approved data.
   • Please be aware that depending on area some farms must have a minimum of 26 weeks slurry storage.
4. Review Automatic Calculations
   • Weekly slurry production (m³): Headcount × Volume × Slurry %
   • Total period slurry: Weekly production × Housing weeks
   • Gallon conversions (1m³ = 219.97 UK gallons)
5. Generate Livestock Slurry Storage Required Report
