Animal manure is traditionally regarded as a valuable resource of plant nutrients. However, there is an increasing environmental concern associated with animal manure utilisation due to high and locally concentrated volumes of manure produced in modern intensified animal production. Although considerable research has been conducted on environmental impacts and best management practices, the environmental chemistry of animal manure has not developed accordingly. This book analyses the basic knowledge and latest research on the environmental chemistry of animal manure.

This text is the latest compilation of manure research activities beyond the adverse environmental concerns. The book covers issues relevant to manure from alternative animal farming practices, energy production from animal manure, processed manure products, and benign effects of manure components in bioremediation.

A timely synthesis of the on-going capillary electrophoresis development and application research in the formats of general reviews and detailed case studies.
