Livestock Mortality Composting – Beyond the Basics Part 1

Livestock mortality composting is a relatively inexpensive, biosecure, and environmentally sound approach to addressing the issue of carcass disposal. This webcast will feature presentations by national experts who participated in Langston University’s Livestock Mortality Composting – Beyond the Basics Conference held earlier this year.  The topics include: pile characteristics for effective composting, management and environmental considerations when siting and managing composting facilities; mortality compost nutrients for on-farm use; and teaching the benefits of mortality composting to producers.

An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) has been submitted.

Presenters include:
  • Saqib Mukhtar, Texas A&M 
  • Karl VanDevender, University of Arkansas
  • Dean Ross
Find out more about this webcast and future webcasts by the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center (LPELC).
