1. Research Concerns

(1) Livestock and poultry clean production and manure treatment and utilization. The team conducts research on source waste reduction processes, explores innovative processes and technologies for high-value and low-carbon manure utilization, and carries out integration and demonstration of manure treatment and utilization technologies and models for animal husbandry.

(2) Environmental impact mechanism and regulation of livestock and poultry production. The team focuses research on comprehensive interaction mechanism of environmental elements, suitable environment and energy-saving control technologies for livestock and poultry production, proposes monitoring, accounting and verification methods for environmental assessment, and gas emissions and mitigation technologies for animal husbandry.
