This video describes mortality and butcher residual composting -- an effective, economical, and environmentally sound alternative to disposal. Composting is a safe, affordable way for dairy and livestock farmers and custom butchers to dispose of their animal mortalities and residual waste. Operations at seven different farms and institutes are described in this video, which will be useful to dairy and livestock farmers, butchers, producer advisors, extension educators, and others. Composting provides a desperately needed option for butchers and livestock operations, faced with the high cost of disposals, to reduce their overhead and become more productive. The video was produced by the Cornell Waste Management Institute. (2002)
