Advanced agrocomposting of beef cattle manure: a proposal for best available techniques

Provacuno is organizing two conferences on May 20 and 29, in Murcia and Valladolid, respectively, to present the results of the project developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia and Miguel Hernández University.

Composting is a technique that reduces greenhouse gas emissions from manure management and also generates a value-added product, contributing to nutrient recycling and the circular economy.

Although this is a widely known technique, it is necessary to develop protocols that, using beef manure as a raw material, allow for the creation of the most suitable mixtures for each specific situation, assess the impact on emissions, and provide information on the added value.

In this sense, Provacuno has carried out, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Miguel Hernández University, a research project to contribute to the circular economy from the farm management itself, developing a proposal for best available techniques for advanced agrocomposting of beef cattle manure , aimed at mitigating climate change with the following specific objectives:

• Generate biofertilizers through agrocomposting from cattle manure.
• Design improved, low-cost, and feasible cattle manure management protocols on farms.
• Contribute to the reduction of ammonia and GHG emissions.
