Abstract
Over the last 30 years or so, agriculture has changed from being subsistent to being very specialized and intensive. As a result, many agricultural practices have experienced major changes. These changes took place in order to increase the animal production but unfortunately not enough effort was made to develop adequate practices for sound animal manure management. Animal manure management practices are often detrimental to the environment and also represent a potential hazard to human and animal health.
