Manure is an inevitable byproduct of livestock and poultry production.

Manure is a valuable material that can be used as a source of organic

matter and fertilizer for crop and pasture production. Manure can also be
used as source of energy on the farm through anaerobic digestion to
produce biomethane or thermochemical process (such as pyrolysis,
gasification, or combustion) to produce heat or electricity. Some of the byproducts of energy production can be further processed to produce value
added chemicals.
Determining Manure Production
Manure quantities and characteristics can be estimated on an:
