ABSTRACT
This report is a follow-up of previous missions on the animal waste management problem, mainly from swine, existing in Penang state, Malaysia, undertaken by the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme. It is an attempt to present concrete recommendations which, if implemented, may solve this continuing problem in the area. It presents a number of alternatives which, upon selection by concerned implementing agency of the Government, may be adopted to solve the problem. Additional inputs required as well as needed technical assistance and budgetary requirements of a particular solution are suggested.
