A Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) is a total planning tool that details the animal production related activities for a specific farming operation. A CNMP describes a farm's production practices, as well as the equipment and structure(s) used. It combines conservation practices with management activities to create a system and addresses animal production operations, from feed inputs to the utilization of animal manure.
