The potential for transport of nutrients and pathogens from livestock and dairy production operations to the environment is a significant issue in the Pacific Northwest. Adoption of animal waste best management practices can reduce this transport. The PNW Regional Water Quality Program provides a broad range of research-based educational materials devoted to animal waste management and utilization. Cooperative Extension regularly conducts outreach programs with livestock producers on a wide range of best management practices.
