Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Feed Science Katsuki KOH Professor, Ph.D. manure composting Environmentally friendly feed Low emission Intensive and extensive animal production is believed to be one of the major contributors to environmental pollution due to excretion of large volumes of feces and urine containing environmental load substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Our aim is to reduce the excretion of these substances by modifying feeding programs and their nutrient balance. In addition, we are developing a technique to reduce the environmental load of substances emitted during manure composting.
