Dehydrated Cow Manure

No but the chemfert will if it is too strong. Allowing 6 weeks rest it will be OK if you don't overdo it.

I want to till it into the soil along with some all

I don't know in terms of weight but I spread horse and cow about 5cm (2in) thick and turn it in (or not).

On the slow release fertilizer granules they call for 5 pounds per 100 sq ft. Perhaps I should cut that in half when adding the cow manure also. It's 4-6-4 fertilizer.

Although somewhat low in nutrition numbers, cow manure can indeed burn young plants. A bag every 100 sq feet tilled in sounds about right, much less if not tilled in. I found using both manure and inorganic fertilizers when tilling give the bestter yielding plants. You still got to be careful, some plants, like peppers, are sensitive to too much nitrogen.

No it won't burn.

This bed is virgin soil and never planted before. Perhaps I should go light on all the amendments. I do have quite a bit of leaf mold from last falls leaves that will also be added. I thought that perhaps the addition of the leaf mold which is brown material may deplete the soil of nitrogen. This is my main reason for adding the manure and also the general purpose granular fertilizer.
