Analytical pyrolysis, principally pyrolysis-mass spectrometry (Py-MS) or pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), is another novel technique capable of providing information on complex organic matter at molecular level. In this chapter, we review the current literature on the use of analytical pyrolysis in organic manure characterization and will present data of molecular composition of cattle manure and poultry litter as characterized by Py-GC/MS.
