The University of Missouri Foremost Dairy Farm lagoon was monitored for 3 years. The lagoon receives animal waste from the milking parlor, holding pen, and feeding-loafing areas. The calculated volatile solids reduction was 80%. A relationship between temperature of the lagoon and lagoon degree days was calculated. A relationship between lagoon loading rate to lagoon degree days and mesophyllic digester loading rates was developed. Ammonia nitrogen accounted for 50 to 80% of the total nitrogen in the lagoon. Conductivity values of 2800 mhoc per con were observed in the latter sampling periods in the lagoon. Samples were obtained from 8 depths and 2 locations. (DC)
