The purpose of OCAMM is to research, develop and communicate sustainable strategies for the management of animal manure and nutrient inputs on Ohio farms. To achieve this purpose, strategies such as composting, land application, facility design, and feed management will be studied for their ability to recycle nutrients, reduce the need for chemical fertilizer and pesticide inputs, improve soil fertility, reduce odor emissions, and improve environmental stewardship. OCAMM program participants include livestock producers, livestock system consultants, equipment manufacturers, trade associations, compost users, and public agencies as well as faculty and staff at OSU.
To develop, demonstrate, and teach the economically, ecologically and environmentally appropriate approaches to animal manure management for both large and small Ohio livestock producers.
To help Ohio livestock and composting businesses achieve consistent production of high quality, diverse, stable, accurately labeled, and safe products that include various levels of animal manure.
To maintain and build on OSU's regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized capabilities through exemplary teaching, research, demonstration, and outreach activities in composting and livestock manure management.
