The chapter also considers the use of products or by-products of both animal and plant origin as fertilisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second chapter provides a critical evaluation of the potential of compost to improve soil health, as well as the sources of variability and potential risks of compost for environmental quality. Two case studies evaluate the trade-offs between benefit and risks in the use of compost in perennial and annual crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third chapter discusses optimising slurry management in agricultural practices and highlights current decision tools for optimising manure management. It also reviews modifying animal slurry pH to enhance its value as a biobased fertiliser through methods such as bio acidification and alkalinisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final chapter provides an overview of the main technologies for manure valorisation into bioenergy and biofertiliser products. It discusses developments in more established technologies such as solid-liquid (S\/L) separation, anaerobic digestion and composting, as well as more innovative techniques, including struvite precipitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Various Authors,Lidia Sas Paszt,Slawomir Gluszek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835452485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835452486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Various Authors","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445770793215,"sku":"9781835452486","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471669a6-0f1b-48eb-950e-f9556e6b8892.jpg?v=1777220540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/instant-insights-various-authors-9781835452486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
