Table explanation
This table comprises information about livestock manure production and production of nitrogen and phosphate in manure. It also includes data on excreted nitrogen that evaporates as ammonia and other nitrogen compounds. The use of nitrogen and phosphate in agricultural holdings is calculated from the manure production and the difference between supply and removal of manure. The use of manure is related to the available spreading area based on fertilising standards.
Data available from 1950 to 2017.
Status of the figures:
The 2017 data is provisional; all other data are final.
Changes as of 4 May 2018:
None, this table has been discontinued.

Description topics
- Use of animal manure
- Use of nitrogen and phosphate in animal manure on agricultural holdings. Use is calculated as production of manure on agricultural holdings plus supply of manure to agricultural holdings minus removal of manure from agricultural holdings. The use of manure comprises the spreading of stored manure by means of application techniques and the manure produced by livestock during grazing.
- Use of nitrogen (N) in agriculture
- Nitrogen excretion minus gaseous losses from housing and storage, plus nitrogen in supplied manure, minus nitrogen in removed manure.
- Use of phosphate (P2O5) in agriculture
