ABSTRACT

India being the world’s largest dairy hub sustains a population of 512.05 million livestock. So a huge amount of waste (around 1095 MMT) is generated annually. About 40% of global methane is produced by agriculture and livestock by-products. Waste management is all about how to dispose of things we don't want. Proper utilization of livestock waste into manure, compost and vermicompost can be useful to increase crop yield and sustainability. Cowpathy has further extended the application of cow urine and panchagavya therapy to a still wider range of clinical conditions. Livestock waste can be recycled to combat rising energy prices, feed scarcity for livestock, pharmaceuticals and reduce environmental threats from traditional livestock waste management practices.
