Management of animal waste: A progressive eco-friendly approach

Abstract

Livestock is a demand driven commodity which has a good nexus as an unavoidable asset for the whole animal world. Sometimes it seems to become a liability when not managed properly. One of the best cited prospect for the above reason is liberation of waste from livestock and their proper utilization so as to prevent the dissemination of especially Green House gases more particularly CH4. There may many ways for the disposal and utilization of manure be adopted in both rural and urban areas. Composting is an aerobic degradation of organic compounds. Vermi –composting may be adopted as it includes inclusion of earthworm for the above same purpose. Panchgavya, a medicinal usable product is also explored as an alternate feasible item from the cow.
