Abstract: Antibiotics play an important role in preventing and therapying animal diseases, and can promote animal growth and development to a certain extent. The residual antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures not only cause environmental pollution, but also lead to the transmission and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains of animal origin in the environment, which pose a threat to public health security and human health. Reducing the residues of antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures by using high-efficient and convenient treatment methods can alleviate the ecological environment pollution to a certain extent. Traditional treatment methods include anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting, which can effectively reduce the residues of antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures. However, there are still some limits such as incomplete removal of antibiotics and high requirements for treatment conditions. In recent years, the application of black soldier fly （Hermetia illucens） larvae in treatment of residual antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures has attracted widely attention. In this paper, the commonly observed residual antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures are summarized. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of the traditional methods including anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting as well as the novel method using black soldier fly in treatment of residual antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures is analyzed, in hoping to provide references for research and application of treatment methods of residual antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures.
