Figure Lengend Snippet: Median log 10 reduction in bacteria numbers caused by disinfectants containing manure from dairy cows housed ( ) and at pasture ( ) when tested using S. epidermidis (error bars show interquartile range). Significant differences between the log 10 reduction values when using manure from housed and pastured animals are marked with an *.
Article Snippet: A 1 mL aliquot of a suspension of S. epidermidis in tryptone salt diluent (Bio-Rad, Hertfordshire, UK) was added to 9 mL of disinfectant–manure mixture to achieve a final manure concentration of 20% and a final disinfectant concentration of 5%.
