      abstract = {This book covers the basics of animal manure, or animal  dung, and highlights its applications in agriculture and  biotechnology. The reader is given a comprehensive overview  of the different types of animal manure. Although animal  manure can cause environmental problems, e.g., when slurry  pollutes rivers or burnt dung pollutes air, the book  emphasizes the fact that animal dung is by no means a waste  product. Animal manure is a valuable organic fertilizer  that has a positive impact on soil conditions and helps  save on chemical fertilizers. It is also a source of energy  and can be either be used as fuel or converted into biogas  through methanization. Old-age practices such as the use of  dried dung as insulating material, or burnt dung as  mosquito repellent are also taken up. With the increasing  focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this  book offers ideas and solutions related to SDG 2 Zero  Hunger and SDG 15 Life on Land. The book will not only be  an interesting read for students and researchers in the  field of agriculture, but will also appeal to scientists  working on waste management, organic manure production or  in the paper industry.},
