TEX-A-SYST: Reducing the Risk of Ground Water Contamination by Improving Livestock Holding Pen Management
Abstract
Open lots or holding pens for feeding or holding livestock can be sources of ground water contamination. The safety of such operations depends on their separation from water wells, characteristics of the site, and proper management. This publication discusses such topics as runoff control, feedlot cleaning and managing abandoned livestock yards.
