Abstract | Runoff from livestock feeding operations has become a public concern. The extent to which downstream waters are enriched or polluted by animal wastes carried in runoff from barnlots was the objective of the research. A distinction is made for use in this study between beef feedlots and barnlots. The study measures the solids content, biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) and chemical oxygen demand(COD) of the runoff of a beef barnlot operation typical of farms in Ohio, identifies the effect of rainfall and runoff patterns and seasonal conditions on the barnlot runoff quality, and evaluates the stream pollution potential of runoff from a beef barnlot. |
