Agriculture and animal husbandry produce significant quantity of solid or liquid residues and waste products. Unfortunately, some of these wastes are not dealt with properly and are causing considerable damage to the environment. Agricultural wastes (AW) in Romania amount range from 7600 thousand tons a year of which only 1400 thousand tons as animal feed and 1100 thousand tons as organic manure are being utilized. These crop waste results after harvesting in the farm of leaves stem which are characterized as coarse plant by-products and big size, chemically low in protein and fat contents, or, like other country (example: Netherlands) avoid waste as much as possible, recover the valuable raw materials from any waste that is created, try to generate energy by incinerating the residual waste, and only then dump what is left. The focus of the research paper is to investigate the importance of agriculture wastes that becomes very obvious and aggregated after the harvest crops. The most common solution is the utilizations of agricultural waste for compositing, as animal fodder, most often as a source of energy, food production, by growing mushroom on agricultural wastes such as oat straw as a substrate. This means the conversion of wastes to economic, nutritional human food. Growing vegetables on oat straw compacted bales in areas where soil disease and salinity are constrains. The implementation of most of the solutions to agricultural waste management does not meet the basic elements of sustainability like environmental protection and social progression, technical and technological improvement as well as economic improvements.

Zero waste agriculture is an agricultural concept oriented around the decomposition cycle of organic materials which integrates agricultural and livestock systems to reprocess waste material. Agricultural waste is used as animal feed while livestock waste/excrement is reprocessed into organic fertilizers. The Regional Partnership Service Program (PKW) aims to assist farmers in developing integrated farming businesses based around zero waste agriculture. PKW was held between May and July 2021 in Tindaki Village, South Parigi District, Parigi Moutong Regency. The implementation of this regional partnership program was carried out through a Participatory Action Programs approach, where partners are directly involved in the adoption and application of the various skills that had been developed. The procedure for activity implementation was carried out through several stages, namely: (a) counseling on zero waste agriculture, (b) training in and application of zero waste agriculture technology in the form of demonstration plots for the application of technological products, (c) coaching and mentoring, and (d) the utilization stage of technology product. The findings from the implementation concluded that the agricultural development training based on zero waste agriculture was a success, and the technology had been adopted by the community, marked by the ability to make and develop compost and liquid organic bio-urine fertilizers. Both types of organic fertilizers had been applied in the demonstration plots to assess their effectiveness in reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers. Rice production is equivalent to 5.6 tons/ha and 6 tons/ha in conventional land. These results show potential benefits for farmers, particularly regarding lower production costs compared to the usage of conventional land. Zero waste agriculture is a method of farming and livestock raising that utilizes their waste products for energy production.

Agricultural wastes are a big source for environmental pollution so it’s a good choice to recycle them so as to get an environmental and economic benefit. The purpose of this research is to determine the possibility of recycling two types of agriculture wastes obtained from wheat and sugarcane cultivation in addition to broken glass (cullet) as raw materials for ceramic wall tiles production. The used agriculture wastes are the agricultural residue obtained from wheat and sugarcane cultivation. The experimental work starts with performing XRF and sieve analysis for all raw materials. Ceramic wall tiles specimens were made with dimensions 110.4 × 55.4 × 8 mm3 using 27 MPa dry pressing then dried at 120 oC overnight, then fired using firing temperatures equal to 1100 oC or 1150 oC during 15 min soaking time. Water absorption, apparent porosity, and mechanical properties were done to compare them with ISO standards. According to the previous experimental work, it was found that the samples with the composition (10% Cullet, 15% Wheat ash straw, 20% sugarcane) for samples that fired at 1150 oC or (10% Cullet, 13% Wheat ash straw, 18% sugarcane) for samples that fired at 1100 oC has the optimum properties.

Solid waste disposal is a major challenge in many industrialized and developing nations, both in metropolitan regions as well as rural ones. The collection and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a serious issue facing metropolitan areas in many nations today. An effective MSW management strategy must satisfy all of these criteria: financial viability; technical feasibility; social and legal acceptability; and ecological friendliness. Small and large cities alike have a major difficulty in dealing with solid waste management. One of the current study topics is the valuation of food organic waste. Existing waste disposal methods include the typical landfill, incineration, composting, and other methods of handling solid waste. Composting and anaerobic digestion have traditionally been the most widely employed methods for the treatment and exploitation of the organic part of MSW (AD). The amount of organic solid waste (OSW) being generated globally is rising at an astronomical rate. Agricultural waste, domestic food waste, human and animal wastes, etc. comprise the majority of OSW. They're often used as animal feed, disposed of in landfills, or burnt. OAWs are made up of protein-, mineral-, and sugar-rich components that may be employed as substrates or raw materials in other processes.

The article is devoted to the ecological problem of animal husbandry development. The special role of animal husbandry in environmental pollution has been noted in the article. Large livestock complexes and poultry farms under modern conditions are represented by manure, droppings and other emissions as the most harmful pollutants of the environment. More than 45 types of pollutants are released into the environment from livestock farms, complexes and poultry farms. Atmospheric air is polluted by microorganisms, dust, ammonia and other animal waste products, which often have unpleasant odors in the area of livestock farms, complexes and poultry farms. Especially from pig farms unpleasant odors can spread at a distance of up to 10 km. With the increase in water consumption for animal husbandry, the discharge of manure-containing wastewater into water bodies also increases, which leads to their contamination and loss of useful properties. In Russia the amount of wastewater from livestock farms ranges from 250 to 3000 tons per day or from 90 thousand tons up to 1 million tons per year. Every day about 200 tons of manure is accumulated on the cattle feed site, where 10 thousand heads of cattle are kept. An equal amount of environmental pollution can be produced only by the pig-breeding complex per 100 thousand heads or the complex of cattle for 35 thousand heads, in comparison with the volume produced by a large industrial center with a population of 400–500 thousand people. In order to improve the situation the authors have recommend the use of a number of methods of biological disposal of agricultural waste.

In the system of veterinary and sanitary measures, disinfection occupies one of the important places, contributing to ensuring the welfare of animal husbandry against infectious diseases, increasing the productivity of animals, poultry and the sanitary quality of products, raw materials and animal feed. The main purpose of disinfection is to break the epizootic chain by influencing its most important link - the factor of transmission of the causative agent of the disease from the source of infection to the susceptible organism. Based on the foregoing, we were assigned the goal of studying the characteristics of the new domestic disinfectant AQUAdez-NUK 5, and to achieve this goal, one of the tasks was to study acute toxicity. In order to study the acute toxicity of AQUAdes-NUK 5 when administered orally, experiments were carried out on male Wister white rats weighing 220-230 g. at doses of 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5500 mg / kg. For the experiments, the rats were divided into groups of 10 animals. 10 animals were used to study each dosage for each disinfectant. One group of ten animals served as a control, which was injected with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The disinfectant was injected in pure form. After administration, the laboratory animals were monitored for two weeks. The experiment took into account the death of animals and the clinical picture of intoxication. In the course of laboratory studies, we determined that AQUAdez-NUK 5 belongs to the III hazard class in accordance with GOST 12.1.007-76 (moderately hazardous compounds), as well as the presence of a weak irritant effect, and therefore we took appropriate safety measures during work with this disinfectant.

The provision of animal feed in the form of forages or soybeans made by goat farmers in general is still traditional. Drajat Village is one of the villages where the goat breeders still use conventional methods in processing their feed. The aspect needed in small to medium scale farms is the speed of feed production time in the form of powder feed that is ready for use. To fulfill this aspect, we made goat feed chopping machines in the implementation of this Community Service Program (PKM). The animal feed chopping machine is designed with various stages including observation, consultation, science and technology diffusion, training and socialization of the use of tools. The components that are made include the engine frame, cutting knife and trajectory of entering the raw material (soybean cake). Whereas for components purchased are pulleys, V-belts, drive motors, shafts, casings and bearing bearings. From these components the assembly and manufacturing process will be carried out using tool kit equipment. The aim of this program is to provide skills training to groups of goat farmers in processing feed sources by doing mechanical processing through modernization of livestock with multipurpose animal feed counting machines, reducing the level of difficulty in animal feed search especially in the dry season and providing insight into entrepreneurship in the field of animal husbandry utilize raw materials to do the grinding process and then can be marketed to farmers in various regions. The results of this program are the achievement of a group of goat farmers who are able to produce or process animal feed independently in powder form. When animal feed ingredients are abundant, they make powder feed and store it as food self-sufficiency during the dry season.ABSTRAK Pemberian pakan ternak berupa hijauan ataupun onggok kedelai yang dilakukan oleh peternak kambing pada umumnya masih bersifat tradisional. Desa Drajat adalah salah satu  desa dimana para peternak kambingnya masih  menggunakan cara konvensional dalam pengolahan pakannya.

The cost of feed is the highest expenditure on animal husbandry management. One solution to reduce the high cost of feed is by utilizing local feed ingredients or abundant horticulture waste. Waste from bananas namely banana peel can be used as small ruminant animal feed so that feed efficiency can be achieved both in terms of cost, nutrition and feed formulation. Abundant banana skin waste that has not been used optimally so that it is feared can cause environmental pollution. To prevent the accumulation of horticultural waste, one of which is by giving cattle as feed used in the dry season. The method used in the first community service program is to approach, interview and deepen problems and find solutions to problems later. Secondly, learning methods by using teaching media in the form of a book of community service activities and ways of fermented kepok banana peels, giving brochures or leaflets and demonstration using media aids and banners that attract farmers' interests. The results that have been achieved have shown that increasing farmers' knowledge and income related to fermentation technology as animal feed by utilizing agricultural waste
