Definition

Animal waste management is an applied scientific and engineering discipline focused on the systematic collection, storage, treatment, utilization, and environmentally sound disposal of waste generated by animal populations, predominantly in agricultural contexts. It investigates the processes, technologies, environmental impacts, regulatory frameworks, and resource recovery potential associated with these waste streams to mitigate pollution, protect public health, and support sustainable animal production systems.
