The use of animal manure is of course a significant componentas it enhances the growth of crops and invariably improves the yields from such crops. In addition, there is the clamour for organic farming and greenvegetation. Such clamour engages or underscores the importance and relevance of animal manure. Besides, the useof chemical fertilizers has been discouraged because of the various disadvantages. However, care must be taken inthe use of animal manure as well because it has its challenges. This write up attempts tothrow light on thesechallenges which, among other things, include microbial pathogens present in animal manure and effects of suchpathogens; antimicrobial drugs in animal manure; existence of heavy metals and pesticides and mycotoxins andhormones in animal manure. This review suggests some management practices and technologies that will reducethe prevalence of these impediments in animal manure and thereby enhance its use
