Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Livestock manure is an environmental and social challenge to livestock farming and industry. Manure is concentrated with pathogens, nutrients, organic matter, and sometimes antibiotics and antimicrobials. Odors, dust, ammonia, methane, and H2S are some of the offensive air pollutants which are emitted from the manure. Collecting, handling, storing, land application, and treating manure for resources, material, and energy recovery have become active research topics and business fields. AgriEngineering’s Special Issue on “Technologies for Livestock Manure Management” welcomes submissions on the advances in technologies, practices, regulations, economics, and environmental aspects of livestock manure management. Manure-treating technologies play a key role in mitigating the environmental impact of livestock manure, and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. The scope of technologies includes but is not limited to composting, pelletizing, livestock feed additive, gasification, co-firing, anaerobic digestion, methanol, algae production, aquaculture, bedding or litter, building material, flowerpot, mushroom cultivation, nursery pots, sealing ponds and dams, and soil reclamation. Therefore, we invite authors to submit high-quality research papers (laboratory and field-scale experimental studies and simulation/modeling), short communications, case studies, analytical and assessment papers on cost and economics, and state-of-the-art critical reviews on “Technologies for Livestock Manure Management”.
