| Abstract | Sustainable development and reducing natural and energy resource consumption are the focus of the policies of many institutions. In this context, livestock farming is one of the major anthropogenic sources of GHG and acidifying gas emissions and requires comprehensive analysis to minimise its ecological footprint. For this reason, it is beneficial to analyse the various processes within this production sector to reduce the consumption of resources, particularly water and soil consumption; reduce energy consumption; and try to valorise the biowaste produced, especially manure, byproducts and wastewater. Reusing residual bioresource and organic waste offers the possibility of valorising a discarded product and, at the same time, reducing the consumption of natural resources. For this purpose, biorefinery processes allow bioresources to be transformed into bioproducts or bioenergy. Therefore, this study investigates the application of biorefinery processes to animal-derived waste, aiming to extract valuable resources while curbing resource consumption. This review analysed 293 scientific papers on biorefinery processes published in the last 11 years applied to livestock biomass to extract relevant information to understand the evolution of this topic and formulate hypotheses regarding future research directions. The analysis strongly emphasizes energy production and a growing interest in insect cultivation. In the coming years, one of the most significant challenges will be the successful transfer of technologies and processes from experimental research to the applied industry. To do this, it will be necessary to reduce costs, exploit economies of scale, improve process management, and develop synergies between different industrial sectors to implement smart circular economy systems. Overall, this review aims to clarify the hypothesis driving research in this area and emphasizes the tangible applications of findings within the broader context of sustainable resource management. |
