Abstract: According to the excretion parameter and breeding stock of livestock and poultry in Hunan Province, the released amounts of antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures was estimated. It was shown that the total amount of antibiotics in livestock and poultry manures was 10309 t in Hunan Province in 2011. The amounts of Tetracyclines, Quinolones, Sulfonamides were 7575, 272, 2462 t, respectively. Pig manures are the major source of antibiotics excretion, which accounted for 7058% of the total amount. Tetracyclines was the main kind of antibiotic in livestock and poultry manures, which accounted for 7348% of the total. As the antibiotic pollution from livestock and poultry manures was serious, countermeasures including reduction, replacement and harmlessness treatments were proposed to control the antibiotic pollution from animal manures.
