  Abstract

South Korea has the highest nutrient balance among the OECD countries, and its nutrient input from livestock excretion is continuing to steadily increase. In order to achieve sustainable agriculture, South Korea urgently requires the implementation of numerous comprehensive measures, such as improved fertilization management, advancements in livestock wastewater treatment technologies, and the revision of related regulations. This study examines the generation, treatment status, and methods of livestock excretion management over the past decade (2012 ~ 2022), following the ban on marine disposal. Additionally, it reviews domestic and international policies regarding livestock excretion and proposes policy recommendations. The findings indicate that a rising density of livestock per farm has led to increased excretion production, and that composting and liquid fertilizer treatment play an increasingly significant role. In the EU, nutrient management and regulation are integrated into agricultural policies and guidelines, and there is a growing emphasis on expanding biogas production using renewable resources. The insights gained from livestock excretion policies and biogas industry trends in this study are expected to inform the development of domestic policies to address the projected increase in livestock excretion treatment demands.
