From 25 to 27 November 2025, the VIV MEA Abu Dhabi International Livestock Exhibition took place as scheduled. Experts from around the world in the fields of poultry, livestock and feed gathered at the ADNEC exhibition hall to explore the future of sustainable animal husbandry. One of the exhibition’s most anticipated technical dialogues was the Poultry Marketing Roundtable (PMRT), which took place on the afternoon of 26 November.
This year’s PMRT focused on ‘Smart Water Use in Poultry Production: From Water Source to Impact’, addressing a critical challenge facing global agriculture: how to manage water resources more intelligently and efficiently.
During the session, Dr Vincent Guyonnet, a visiting scientist at the University of Montreal and global coordinator of WVEPAH under the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), systematically analysed the environmental value of Bolong livestock and poultry manure fermentation tanks in waste treatment. He emphasised their significance in protecting the air, water and soil.
This established Bolong Technology as one of the most prominent brands of environmental equipment at the conference.
Dr Guyonnet pointed out that manure treatment is often overlooked in the poultry and livestock industries, despite being the primary source of pollution in these sectors. Traditional methods such as piling, natural fermentation and simple drying are inefficient and pose three major environmental risks.
Untreated livestock manure continuously releases irritating, odorous gases, such as ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and methyl mercaptan. These gases can cause headaches and coughs, and potentially trigger complaints or government penalties from nearby residents and farm workers.
In hot climates such as those in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, higher temperatures accelerate odour volatilisation and intensify pollution levels.
In his presentation, Dr. Gu emphasised:
“Leachate from untreated manure carries pathogens, antibiotic residues and nitrates, and infiltrates groundwater–the most dangerous yet often overlooked form of pollution from farms.”
If manure storage areas lack fully enclosed structures, rainwater infiltration creates wastewater that seeps into groundwater, contaminating agricultural irrigation water and even threatening the safety of drinking water. Once authorities detect water source contamination that exceeds legal limits, penalties can range from fines to restrictions on production capacity or even mandatory shutdowns.
Direct application of incompletely fermented manure can burn crop roots. Pathogens entering farmland via manure lead to soil compaction, salt accumulation and microbial imbalance. Over time, this not only destroys agricultural productivity, but it may also trigger food safety issues.
These three major environmental challenges–air, water and soil pollution–are the core drivers compelling the global livestock industry towards ‘high-standard environmental protection’.
During his presentation, Dr. Gu provided a comprehensive overview of the technical principles and environmental value of the Bolong livestock and poultry manure fermentation tank.
The tank employs a fully enclosed, vertical design with intelligent temperature control. Through high-temperature microbial fermentation at 60-75 °C, it rapidly and safely treats manure and diseased or dead livestock.
The Bolong livestock and poultry manure fermentation tank features:
Manure ferments in a completely airtight environment, preventing gas leakage.
Ammonia absorption
Activated carbon filtration
Microbial decomposition
Cooling circulation to maintain microbial activity.
Secondary purification and emission
This significantly reduces odours and meets most national environmental standards. Dr Gu praised its multi-stage filtration design, calling it “a true source-based deodorisation solution”.
Bolong’s livestock and poultry manure fermentation tanks protect water resources using three technologies:
The zero-leakage tank prevents anaerobic leachate from contacting the soil and structurally blocks groundwater contamination.High-temperature sterilisation at 60-75°C effectively eliminates harmful organic matter, including Salmonella, E. coli and avian influenza viruses.
Dr Gu emphasises: ‘Only high-temperature aerobic fermentation can fundamentally protect water resources.’
The characteristics of organic fertiliser produced by livestock and poultry manure fermentation tanks include being fully composted, rich in beneficial microorganisms and stable nutrients, and free of pathogens and insect eggs. When applied to farmland, it improves soil structure by enhancing water retention capacity and increasing soil organic matter. This reduces crop dependence on chemical fertilisers, restores microbial ecological balance and is of significant importance for sustainable agricultural development.
The core principle of the 2025 PMRT is: Resolving the water crisis at its source requires scientific manure treatment to be the starting point.
Bolong livestock and poultry manure fermentation tanks offer the global livestock industry verifiable environmental solutions and fully enclosed emission reduction technology, providing a systematic ‘triple protection’ system for water, air and soil. They offer comprehensive solutions, from manure treatment to value conversion.
If the poultry industry is to achieve sustainable development in future, the irreversible trend will be the livestock and poultry manure fermentation tank-based harmless treatment of livestock manure. Would you like to learn how to customise a manure treatment solution for your farm?
