Agricultural impact of swine waste open disposal in Ubakala area of Abia State were evaluated. Results indicates an increase in soil temperature with increasing soil depth while soil pH was observed to be slightly acidic. Increased soil nutrients, soil enzymes were recorded from the study. This findings suggest that swine dumps may not be good for agricultural purposes unless adequate treatment measures are taken prior to its application as fertilizer.
