In many countries, the land that receives piggery wastes has already become oversaturated with

Nitrogen and Phosphorus, complicating the remedy towards the waste problem as the terrain currently
offered for discretion becomes limited. Waste from pig farms can contain pathogens, bacteria (often
antibiotic-resistant), and heavy metals that can be toxic if consumed. Pig farming causes environmental
degradation, which is an issue of environmental injustice because the neighborhoods do not benefit from
the activities but rather experience adverse effects on the environment such as pollution and health issues.
Pig feces is the most bothersome of all animal wastes. Pig producing businesses have grown in response
to increased demand for pork meat, and as a result, the situation of piggery waste management will
become even more beneficial in the long run. Pig farming has a significant effect on the environment due
to the dispersion of excrement and debris into adjacent areas, which pollutes the air and water with toxic
and hazardous fragments. Pig feces also contributes to aquifer contamination by surface runoff and waste
spraying onto adjacent regions with irrigation. Cleaning the areas, maintaining a proper and clean pigsty,
enlisting the support of local residents in keeping it clean, and informing the farm owner are all feasible
solutions to this problem. Owners should build effluent ponds in accordance with industry standards and
guarantee that domestic wastewater re-use does not harm the soil. Create fermentation areas with surface
quality drainage and no risk of run-off into water sources. When working with potentially hazardous
effluent storages, take precautions.
