Animal production activities that begin with the domestication of animals are developing in line with the nutritional needs of the growing population. One of the inevitable consequences of this situation is increasing manure production. As a result of the increased use of mineral fertilizers in crop production, manure has begun to be seen as a problem to be disposed of for producers. The manure discharged into pastures and water resources has created a risk of pollution for production sites and natural resources eventually. As a result of the pollution that hinders the sustainability of production, it has become compulsory to create new areas of use for the evaluation of the environment. The use of nutrients as a source and soil conditioner in crop production is an effective method for evaluating manure. However, this method necessitates the storage of manure. According to physical conditions, the nutrients in the compost that cannot be stored or stored under unsuitable conditions have decreased nutrient amount and the production of pathogens has been observed. The fact that manure produces flammable gases as a result of microorganism activities indicates that it can be used as an energy source. It must be transported to meet the amount of manure required for energy production. The resulting transportation costs and operating costs of the facilities require economic planning. These results suggest that a manure management model should be used. The generated manure management model: to be sustainable, not to harm natural resources, to be economically viable, and to not affect the comfort of living in residential areas. The model needs to be specific to the region in order to achieve the desired conditions. In the study, the applications of manure management models designed according to daily development process and different needs are discussed.
