Livestock Manure
Livestock manure is the waste produced by farm animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry. It consists of feces, urine, and bedding materials, and is often rich in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth.
Farmers commonly use livestock manure as a natural fertilizer to improve soil fertility and structure. When properly managed, it can enhance crop yields and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. However, improper handling can lead to environmental issues, such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
