S, then, composting gets rid of the ecoli, which is perhaps a better proces
to use anyway( ups soil microbes)?

Just to be clear, we're not talking about compost.  We're talking  about
direct manure application to the land, and/or rotating animals on/off of 
crop
growing grounds, and/or having irrigation water moving from livestock areas
to growing areas.  Compost treatment protocols have NOT changed.

I have  always been led to believe that proper composting, with the high
temperatures  involved, will eliminate virtually all pathogens ( then , just
bury the stuff,  so it is not on the surface, just to be  sure...).
