Livestock manure management practices Bangladesh

The study analyzes manure management in Bangladesh, finding that the majority of large ruminant manure is kept in solid storage or used as fuel. It calculates specific methane emission factors for various livestock types and identifies farmer unawareness and credit constraints as primary barriers to improved management.

• Large ruminant manure management is dominated by solid storage (56.2% to 57.0%) and use as burned fuel (37.3% to 43.0%), while anaerobic digestion accounts for only 4.80% and liquid slurry loss for 1.65%.
• Methane emission factors vary by animal type, with dairy and other cattle at 6.77 Kg CH4/head/year, buffalo at 6.41, small ruminants at 5.42, poultry at 0.024, and other cattle (bulls and growing animals) at 0.203 Kg CH4/head/year.
• The primary obstacles preventing the adoption of improved manure management practices are a lack of farmer awareness, limited capacity, and credit problems.
