Abstract
Anaerobic fermentation of organic waste, such as livestock manure, in biogas projects is an environmentally friendly and effective treatment method. The resulting biogas, mainly composed of methane, is a combustible gas with energy properties, while the digestate, containing nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and other organic matter, can be used for agricultural irrigation. This article analyzes the current situation of resource utilization of livestock manure in various countries and the progress of biogas projects. It introduces the process, composition, and commonly used filtration methods before applying the digestate to farmland. The summary focuses on the improvement of crop quality, enhancement of soil fertility and the risks of pollution, and environmental hazards associated with the utilization of biogas slurry. The limitations and corresponding solutions for the agricultural utilization of livestock digestate are discussed, and recommendations are made for the technology of digestate irrigation and application to farmland.Keywords
