Controlling the presence of ammonia in the soil and encouraging soil fertility and structure are reasons why cow manure can be used in composting.

Specifically, cow manure can be used in a special kind of composting. It involves spreading the manure 1-3 inches (2.54-7.62 centimeters) thick over the surface of the ground. The layer then is incorporated into the top 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of soil by digging and mixing. The underground presence of fresh, moist cow manure discourages the presence of ammonia and of anaerobic breakdown and encourages the accessibility of available nutrients and the formation of air and water pore space. It is conducive to properly aerated, drained, and fertile soils.
