“…Manure can have economic value if processed and utilized appropriately, such as for biogas [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and fertilizer [9][10][11]. However, most dairy farmers in this region discharge it into their surroundings [12][13][14]. It is estimated that as much as 60-90% of dairy cattle manure is released without any treatment, causing environmental pollution [12].…”

“…Together with nutrient leaching and run-off from fields, nutrients leaching from discharged manure can cause eutrophication, which occurs as a response to the excess nutrients in water surfaces, including nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) from livestock manures [15]. The released manure can also lead to contamination of drinking water sources due to the leaching of nitrate (NO3ˉ) [16], and to soil acidification, due to ammonia emission (NH3) [12]. The discharged manure ends up in local streams and rivers.…”

“…Besides environmental pollution, cattle manure discharged into farms' surroundings causes local nuisance [12] and even human toxicity, especially in regions with a high population density [17]. The piles of manure deposited in the inhabitant's living environment cause a strong lousy odor that is not only annoying but also attracts flies [18], which could be a vector for several diseases, such as diarrhea [18,19].…”

Besides producing milk and other products, dairy farms also generate manure polluting the environment. This study aims to identify smallholder dairy farmers' utilization of dairy cattle manure in West Java and the reasons that hinder it. This study uses IndoDairy end-line survey data, covering 410 dairy farmers in four districts in West Java (Bandung, Garut, Cianjur, and Bogor) in December 2021. A qualitative descriptive analysis was employed. The results show that only 42.8% of smallholder dairy farmers in West Java utilized cattle manure for fertilizer, a source of energy (biogas), and/or media for raising earthworms. At the same time, the rest, 57.2%, discharged it into their surroundings. Among the reasons the smallholder dairy farmers did not appropriately manage the manure were as follows: too difficult to adopt the technology (27.5%), high adoption cost (21.0%), farmers are already satisfied with the current practices (10.1%), limited input availability (9.5%), limited land (9.0%), lack of information of technology (8.1%), and many labors are needed (7.8%). Given the environmental problem that can be caused and the economic potential of dairy waste, the government should provide efficient and practical dairy waste management technology accompanied by intensive training and assistance.

Farmed animal production in tropical circular food systems

et al. 2021

In the discourse about the development of farmed animal production (terrestrial livestock production and aquaculture) in the tropics, two important food system outcomes emerge: (1) to supply animal-sourced food (ASF) at a level that suffices healthy future diets, including for poor people, and (2) to contribute to climate change mitigation and minimize pollution with nitrogen and phosphorus. Livestock production and aquaculture contribute to food security directly by increasing producers’ food diversity and availability, but also that of urban consumers, and indirectly through income generation and increased farm resilience. Recently, circularity has come to the fore as an integrated approach to food system development. Circularity has four cornerstones: (1) food crops have highest priority (which implies no food-feed competition), (2) avoid losses, (3) recycle waste and (4) use animals to unlock biomass that humans cannot eat. In this review, the role of farmed animals in circular food systems in the tropics is presented in four case studies and the impacts of circularity on food security and environmental impact mitigation are discussed. The cases are ruminants in grazing systems in West Africa and in Colombia, fish in pond aquaculture in general, and land-limited dairy production in Indonesia. Additionally, options for novel protein sources for use in livestock and fish feeding are presented. It is concluded that farmed animals are important in circular food systems because of their use of land unsuited for crop production, their upgrading of crop residues, and their supply of manure to crop production. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for ASF puts pressure on important characteristics of circularity, such as minimizing food-feed competition, maximization of use of waste streams in feed, and the value of manure for fertilization. Hence, in line with conclusions for Western countries, maximum circularity and sustainability of food systems can only be achieved by optimizing the population size of animals. Thus, a sustainable contribution of ASF production to global food security is complex and in not only a technical matter or outcome of an economic process balancing supply and demand. It requires governance for which public, private, and social actors need to partner.
