Abstract
Developments in the field of livestock management in Japan have led to a change from the traditional methods of livestock management to a processed form of the same that depends on imported feed. This change has caused the superfluous generation of manure in farmlands, thus resulting in an environmental hazard. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, it is necessary to stop the prevalent scattering of the additional compost in the farmlands and to shift to an environment-friendly management system under which the additional compost is sold outside the farmlands.<br> The main indicators for the possible occurrence of the abovementioned shift to such a management would be the farmers’ consciousness regarding the environmental problems resulting from the excess compost and their intention to sell this compost. <br>In this paper, I classify three subjective factors on the basis of the questionnaire administered to livestock farmers: their recognition of the environmental problems caused by them, their subjective evaluation of these environmental problems, and their intention to sell the compost generated on their farmlands. I analyze the measures needed for undertaking a shift to an environment-friendly form of livestock management on the basis of the farmers’ responses with regard to these subjective factors.
