The census of the three types of herds living in 14 sub-prefectures and the urban commune of Macenta was carried out, of which: 13386 cattles, 17418 pigs and 20005 laying hens. The assessment of daily waste by type of animal was made .The results were 4.23 kg/day of dung per cow; 2.41 kg/d and 2.21 kg/d of pig slurry respectively in semi- improved and local breeding; 0.013 kg/day of droppings per hen. These values made possible to estimate the daily quantities of waste by type of livestock: cow dung (56622.78 kg), pig manure (40967.38 kg) and chicken manure (260.065 kg). The total daily biogas potential of the waste is therefor of the order of 8969.606 m3, distributed as follows: 6164.427 m3 for cow dung; 2332.117 m3 for pig manure and 473.063 m3 for chicken manure.

UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) External Situation Report 2 December 2014
UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) External Situation Report 2 December 2014 KEY POINTS In a joint press conference SRSG Banbury and Special Envoy Nabarro reported on the great progress that has been made in the first 60 days of the response, while emphasizing that there was still a long way to go before the ultimate goal of zero cases could be achieved. The Logistics Cluster in Guinea, as part of the Logistics Emergency Team (LET) partnership, is facilitating the transport of four Maersk-donated refrigerated containers. WHO reported that a reported jump in deaths in Liberia was due to a data error. Key Political and Economic Developments 1. UNMEER SRSG Anthony Banbury and UN Special Envoy David Nabarro held a press conference in Sierra Leone on 1 December, to mark the 60 day milestone in the response to EVD. SRSG Banbury emphasized the great progress that has been made in such a short period. Early scenarios had projected up to 10,000 new cases per week by 1 December – there are less than one tenth of that. The SRSG stressed that this is a huge success for the international community. 2. In his press conference, the SRSG also reported on performance against the targets the UN had set for 1 December: 70 per cent of burials being done safely and 70 per cent of new cases isolated in a treatment facility. He indicated that those targets have been exceeded in most cases. In the case of safe burials, those targets are exceeded in all three countries. The other target – 70 per cent of new cases being isolated – is being exceeded in two of the three countries, in Liberia and Guinea.
