Abstract: Animal husbandry industry is one of the pillar industries in Inner Mongolia. With the rapid development of animal husbandry industry, the output of livestock and poultry manure continues to increase, resulting in increasingly serious pollution of manure. Additionally, the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure becomes particularly urgent and important. In this study, we investigated 95 large- and medium-scale livestock breeding enterprises distributed in 11 banners (counties or districts) of Inner Mongolia by site survey, and 3 700 large-scale livestock breeding enterprises by literatures review and experts consultation. The situation of livestock and poultry manure resource utilization in Inner Mongolia was analyzed from the aspects of the basic characteristics of livestock and poultry manure, the main features of livestock and poultry manure resource utilization, and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
