Question

Manure slurry, a mixture of animal waste, organic matter, and sometimes water often known simply as “slurry” in agricultural use, used as fertilizer after ageing in a slurry pit.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in an interview for job.

Asked question is from Earthwork, Concrete and R.C.C. work in chapter Rules and Methods of Measurement of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

The explanation: A slurry pit, also known as a farm slurry pit, slurry tank, slurry lagoon or slurry store, is a hole, dam, or circular concrete structure where farmers gather all their animal waste together with other unusable organic matter, such as hay and water run off from washing down dairies, stables, and barns, in order to convert it, over a lengthy period of time, into fertilizer that can eventually be reused on their lands to fertilize crops.
