During the past several years, considerable attention has been directed at the potential environmental impacts of agriculture in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. A primary focus has been on the potential nutrient loadings to surface and groundwater resulting from animal agricultural sources. There is an emerging body of science-based information on the formulation of animal rations that have the potential to cost-effectively achieve the objectives of producers and also result in potential reductions in the nutrient content of manures at the point of excrement. The Chesapeake Bay Program's Agricultural Nutrient Reduction Workgroup planned a technology exchange of the latest advances in animal nutrition and the ability of these advances to provide cost-effective tools to reduce the nutrient content of animal waste at the point of excrement.
