Abstract:
【Objective】 This study takes the Kashgar region of Xinjiang as a case study to assess the current status of pollution from livestock and poultry breeding, resource-oriented utilization of waste, existing problems, and their impacts on the development of the animal husbandry sector.
【Methods】 Based on field investigations of livestock breeding enterprises and farmers, including data on breeding scales, manure and wastewater generation, and utilization practices, this study analyzes the region's challenges.It proposes improvements by integrating established treatment technologies and suggests corresponding countermeasures.
【Results】 Significant geographical disparities exist in the discharge volume of livestock manure and wastewater across counties in Kashgar.However, the overall utilization rate shows less variation, with the regional comprehensive utilization rate reaching 85.43%.
【Conclusion】 Manure treatment processes and utilization models vary considerably among farms of different scales."On-site land application" remains the most prevalent method.A small proportion of large-scale farms have adopted commercial fertilizer production models utilizing manure resources, though product quality varies.This research provides references for mitigating pollution from livestock and poultry breeding and promoting the healthy, sustainable development of the animal husbandry industry in the region.
