Online recertification available for Commercial Animal Waste Technicians (CAWT) until November 17th, 2024

The University of Minnesota Manure Team is reminding Commercial Animal Waste Technicians (CAWT) that recertification for licensure in 2024 is now accessible through an online course. This digital offering allows CAWT professionals to meet their mandatory training requirements from the convenience of their homes.

The course, covering a variety of critical topics, will remain available until November 17th, 2024. Key focus areas include:
  • Program Updates from MDA
  • Environmental and Regulatory Issues Concerning Phosphorus in Manure
  • Manure Characteristics and Sampling
  • Precision Manure Equipment
  • Safety Considerations for Manure Gas Emissions
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) emphasizes that anyone who fails to complete the course, whether in person or online, by the November deadline, will need to retake the certification exam to renew their licensure. With a growing focus on environmental sustainability and safe manure management practices, this course is crucial for staying informed on both regulatory updates and safety protocols.
