Environmental pollution in livestock farming has long been a burning issue. Over the years, localities and people have taken many measures to reduce pollution in both odor and waste, but each approach still has many limitations.

Comrade Vi Luu Binh - Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development opened the workshop.

“Using composted livestock manure from livestock farms in crop cultivation to improve soil and increase productivity and product quality” is a solution with many advantages, both taking advantage of manure from livestock farms, helping to reduce environmental pollution as well as improving soil, improving crop quality and productivity.

Japanese experts disseminate project contents

At the workshop, agricultural experts from Japan presented the results of the demonstration project on composting and transporting livestock manure in Nghe An, sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; and the results of analysis of compost samples and soil samples from demonstration farms.

Delegate Ho Thi Le Hang (Economic Department - Vinh City People's Committee) discussed land reclamation solutions.

Accordingly, the traditional Japanese and Vietnamese methods of composting livestock manure are completely different. During the composting process, Japanese farmers remove excess water and create maximum conditions for air to come into contact with the compost.

Through the experiment of composting livestock manure conducted by Japanese experts in Dien Chau and Nghia Dan, it was shown that the Japanese method of composting livestock manure has provided adequate nutrition for crops, so the productivity and quality of crops have increased significantly, while increasing the porosity of the soil. Using composted livestock manure also contributes to reducing environmental pollution in the livestock sector. At the workshop, Japanese agricultural experts provided Japanese experiences in composting and its application in crop farms; and answered questions from delegates attending the workshop./.
