Utilization of organic waste is one of the most important ecological problems for enterprises in livestock industry. Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of modern technologies of animal waste processing in cattle farming was conducted. After prolonged exposure of manure, it retains a wide range of humidity of 85–97% and complex structures of the manure storage are not needed. However, when using this technology, there is a loss of nutrients and low reliability of manure decontamination, as well as need long periods of its processing (up to 12 months).It is safer to use manure for fertilizers after composting. The advantages of this technology include: less loss of nutrients compared with prolonged exposure of manure, low financial costs and increase in the number of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. The disadvantages of composting are: dependence on weather conditions, long production cycle, sometimes receipt of product of unstable quality, additional charges on realization of aeration and stirring of raw material. Vermicomposting has the following advantages: absence of smells when utilizing manure and losses of nutrients. Disadvantages of this technology, it is used for small volumes of manure and mainly in warm period of year. When pelleting, fresh manure is converted into dry, which can be used as a fertilizer, feed additives or energy fuel. However, this technology is energy-intensive, requires quite expensive equipment for its realization and also using pellets as a fertilizer is less useful compared to humus. For processing of manure anaerobic digestion is also used. The advantages of this technology include: production of quality fertilizer and receipt of biogas. The disadvantage of this method is large initial costs. It is revealed that processing of manure the method of prolonged exposure is less effective. It is more safely to use such technologies as composting, pelletizing and anaerobic digestion. Along with positive parties of technologies of utilization of animal waste (increase soil fertility and improving the ecological status of separate components of environment) there are considerable disadvantages, namely long duration and seasonality of processing, loss of nutrients due to evaporation, highly labour-intensiveness, creating centers of pollution of natural objects, low economic efficiency, which require further improvement.
