Small Business Innovation Research: Animal Manure Management

The objective of the Animal Manure Management research area is to develop new or improved technologies based on economically and environmentally sound approaches for improved management of animal manures. This research area may include other materials combined with manure, such as bedding, litter and water. The proposed research is intended to reduce the adverse impact of animal manure on the environment, people, improve the economics of animal production by optimizing manure management technologies and creating value-added products derived from animal manure. This program will focus exclusively on terrestrial animal production, including poultry. Successfully meeting the research priorities will contribute to the protection and enhancement of the Nation's natural resource base and environment.
