Abstract:

By analyzing the external macro-environment of livestock manure resource utilization in China, the study aims to provide reference for ensuring the sustainable development of China’s animal husbandry. PEST analysis model was used to explore the resource utilization of livestock manure from four aspects including politics, economy, society and technology. The results show that in terms of political environment, relevant policies and standards have been further improved; in terms of economic environment, livestock manure has enormous economic potential as biomass, and the market-oriented operation mechanism has been explored; in terms of social environment, the livestock manure resource utilization is an inevitable choice for developing green and sustainable animal husbandry; in terms of technology environment, the resource utilization technology model and technology system have been constantly progressed. Currently, the resource utilization of livestock manure in China has already formed a good foundation for action. However, there are still many problems and challenges. To further promote the sustainable development of the resource utilization of livestock manure in China, we put forward some development countermeasures and suggestions.

Key words: livestock manure, resource utilization, PEST analysis, macro-environment, countermeasures and suggestions
