Manure as Fertilizer: A Greener Solution for Pig Farming Management.
The study compared different ways of managing pig manure in pig farming to see which has the least impact on the environment. They looked at three methods: using pig manure as fertiliser, treating manure to make fertilisers, and a mix of both. The results showed that making fertilisers from treated manure had the biggest environmental impact. Using manure directly as fertiliser had a smaller impact, and combining both methods had an even smaller impact. So, using manure as fertiliser seems to be the best choice for the environment. The study suggests a system where pig manure is used as fertiliser directly and also processed into mineral-organic fertiliser, which could be a good environmental option.
