Waste Management in Dairy Cattle Farms in Aydın Region. Potential of Energy Application

Abstract: In this paper, the dairy cattle waste management systems on farms in Aydın region in Turkey were investigated. Number of farms and livestock herd size, type of barn, type of machinery and farm labour force were studied. The collection, management and storage systems of manure produced in dairy cattle farms were taken into consideration. Additionally, biogas amount, which is produced from animal waste, was calculated for all districts of Aydın by using the number of livestock animals and various criteria such a… Show more

“…Manure contains large amounts of N in organic form and is converted to inorganic form by mineralization, posing a serious risk to the environment. Manure is applied to the soil by spreading it once, so compared to chemical fertilizer, the N content is more mixed into ground and surface waters (Soyer and Yılmaz, 2020). Nitrogen excretion rates may vary according to the practices in the enterprises, the age, gender, breed, yield, and ration composition of the livestocks.…”

“…39 Soyer and Yılmaz investigated dairy waste management systems in farms in the province of Aydın in Turkey. 40 It was found that the facilities in the region can potentially produce an approximately 160 438 m 3 of biogas. Yılmaz and Saka investigated the usable biogas potential of nine provinces in the southeast Anatolian region of Turkey.…”

“…In addition to fresh milk and other products, dairy farms produce waste such as manure. 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].…”
