TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Fuxin County, located in the agro-pastoral ecotone of Northeastern China, has a well-developed
stock farming industry. The evaluation of its livestock and poultry farming volume, fecal production,
and cropland fecal load will provide a critical foundation for rational production planning, enhancing
the efficient utilization of livestock and poultry fecal resources, and promoting the sustainable
development of integrated agriculture and animal husbandry at a regional level. An assessment of
Fuxin County was conducted using surveys and statistical data in 2022. The results revealed an annual
farming volume of 4.75 million pig equivalents, fecal and urine production of 1,041.68 million tons (Mt),
and a cropland fecal load of 32.63 t·ha-1. The livestock and poultry fecal load warning value was
calculated at 1.09, corresponding to pre-warning level IV. Therefore, Fuxin County should further
formulate an overall development plan of animal husbandry, prioritize technologies for efficient livestock
and poultry fecal resource utilization, strengthen cross-regional coordination in fecal management,
and accelerate the development of green agricultural practices.
