  1. Manure is organic material derived from the decomposition of animal waste, typically mixed with bedding material and organic residues. It serves as a valuable fertilizer, enhancing soil fertility and structure. Manure production for agricultural use involves collecting animal waste, such as dung or urine, from livestock like cows, pigs, or poultry. This waste is then combined with straw, hay, or other organic materials to create a mixture. The composting or decomposition process breaks down the organic matter, converting it into nutrient-rich manure. Application of manure to fields replenishes soil nutrients, improves water retention, and promotes overall soil health.
