Will manure rot in bags?
 

If I leave my horsey poo in bags (to avoid stinking the place out), will it
still rot down?

Will manure rot in bags?
 

As long as oxygen can get to it but there are better ways, like adding it to
the compost heap

If there's a limited supply of oxygen in the bags and they're not completely
sealed, then it'll smell even worse. Surely composting it properly is a
better, less smelly option?

However, it will compost perfectly well in the bags if holes are
punched in them, and to some extent even if not. I agree with
you that it is likely to smell less if done in the open.

Anaerobic digestion of the sewage is going to be messy, though, it'll get
moist and rancid smelling fast. Anaerobic digestion of faecal waste is an
area of microbiology inhabited mostly by massochists. Punchng lots of holes
in the bag sounds like a reasonable option, though.
