Waste Not
The Animal and Poultry Waste Management Center converts animal by-products into value-added solutions.
North Carolina ranks consistently in the top three states producing turkeys, broilers and hogs in the nation. The food animal industry employs tens of thousands of North Carolinians involved in raising, feeding and supporting production.
