After the application of organic fertilizers and soil improvers on pastures, domestic animals shall not be allowed access to grazing for 21 days after such treatment; after the expiration of 21 days from the application of organic fertilizers and soil improvers, such pasture may be used for grazing of domestic animals or can be mowed for the purpose of obtaining silage.
