Situation of Livestock Waste and Strategies for Waste Treatment

축산분뇨의 발생현황과 처리방안

In the later part of 1980's, a great emphasis has been placed on the treatment issues of livestock wastes due to the continuous increase in consumption of livestock and meat products. Continued economic development for three decades has enhanced the nationally general level of life for the purpose of exit out of absolute poverty, thus accompanied with people's demand for a quality of environment beyond the traditional economic factors over times. Such an individual or collective demand for environment of life has been primarily focussed and argued on only rural environment in the early development periods. In perspective of clean water supply and security for urban area, however, it is more important to treat livestock wastes in the oriented-sustainable environment than in the conventional ways without working on environment degradation. Livestock wastes composed of the high-concentrated organic matter ought to be controlled and treated in sound ways, if not, which on one hand may result in pollution of underground water, surface water and a nasty smell, and on the other hand also may cause people to file a civil petition. Therefore on the research paper, reviewing occurrence of livestock waste and situation of treatment in details, through scrutinizing the government regulation and financing or subsidizing for it, author intends to find out the initiative of 'resourcefication' of treating of livestock wastes in the environmental soundness and efficiency

축산물소비량(畜産物消費量)이 지속적(持續的)으로 증가(增加)하면서 1980년대 후반(後半)에 와서 가축분뇨(家畜糞尿)의 관리문제(管理問題)가 주요과제(主要課題)로 등장(登場)하였다. 이는 그동안 지속적(持續的)으로 추진된 경제발전(經濟發展)의 결과 국민의 전반적(全般的)인 생활수준(生活水準)이 향상(向上)되면서 경제요인(經濟要因) 이외(以外)에 환경(環境)의 질(質)에 대한 국민적 요청(要請)이 증대(增大)된 까닭으로 초기에는 농촌환경문제(農村環境問題)로만 논의(論議)되던 것이 도시지역(都市地域)의 상수원오양문제(上水原汚梁問題)와 연결(連結)되면서 가축분뇨관리(家畜糞尿管理)의 필요성이 더욱 중요(重要)해지고 있다. 가축분뇨(家畜糞尿)는 고농도(高農度)의 유기물(有機物)로 구성(構成)되어 있어 적절히 관리(管理)되지 않을 경우 지표수(地表水) 오염(汚染), 지하수(地下水) 오염(汚染), 악취(惡臭) 문제(問題) 등을 일으켜 민원(民願)의 대상이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 축산분뇨(畜産糞尿)의 발생(發生) 및 처리현황(處理現況)을 살펴보고 분뇨처리(糞尿處理)에 대한 정부(政府)의 규제와 지원상황(支援狀況)을 검토하여 합리적인 축산분뇨(畜産糞尿)의 자원화방안(字源化方案)을 모색하고자 하였다.
