I've wondered if it's a good/awful idea to use the widely used food irradiation tech [1] on manure to kill the microorganisms that can cause disease, while keeping the bioavailable nutrients intact, just like how radiation kills bacteria in food without affecting its taste.

It's also very low energy as, unlike electro-shocking, the radiation sources are "always on".
