Moisture Designation -The moisture designation assigned based off a sample’s total solids or moisture content using the Midwest Plan Service definition if 0-4% total solids="liquid", >4-10% total solids="slurry", >10-20% total solids="semi-solid", >20% total solids="solid" (Lorimor et al., 2004). If a sample has no total solids or moisture level, use lab-designated Manure Type label to assign the manure designation categories of liquid, solid, slurry, semi-solid, or litter as a solid. If a sample has no total solids, moisture, or manure type, this category was left blank. -Options: Liquid, Slurry, Semi-solid, Solid ANALYTES Each item below is listed by: a.
