| Summary: | The increasing number of broiler chicken production generates a higher quantity of manure.
Generally, the farmers utilized chicken manure as organic fertilizer. However, its improper
treatment induces environmental degradation. This study assessed the environmental impacts
of manure management systems (MMS) in small-scale broiler chicken farms in Bulukumba,
Indonesia, using a partial life cycle approach. There are three scenarios as an initial step to
assessing the environmental impact of MMS. These development scenarios analyze the
treatment and utilization of broiler chicken manure to reduce environmental impacts. Results
showed that the main contributors to global warming and acidification were housing and
processing stages, while manure land application was the key contributor to eutrophication
potential. According to the net emissions, Scenario 2 has the lowest GWP results compared to
the Baseline scenario and Scenario 1. Considering the contribution of all stages to the
environmental impacts, the best method to reduce the environmental impacts from small-scale
broiler chicken MMS is anaerobic digestion. The process could reduce N2O and NH3
emissions, utilize biogas, and produce digestate with high nitrogen content to replace the use
of chemical fertilizers. However, anaerobic digestion facilities with high technology of digester
tanks and close post-storage are necessary. Future studies need to consider cost analysis to
determine the probability of improvements implemented on the MMS and the effects of other
mitigation practices in manure application. |
