MANURE COMPOST

Manure composting refers to the process of using animal manure as a material to create compost. With the promotion of eco-agriculture and the increasing demand for bio-organic fertilizers in the country, farmers have gained a better understanding and recognition of the benefits of using such fertilizers. This has led to an increase in demand for bio-organic fertilizers, which has prompted farmers to start composting animal manure. The main types of animal manure used for composting are chicken manure, pig manure, and cattle manure.

The composition and the treatment of animal manure

Chicken Manure

On average, a broiler chicken excretes about 0.14kg of manure per day. Due to the low absorption efficiency of feed in chickens, the nutrient content in their manure is high. However, chicken manure cannot be used directly without proper treatment due to the presence of various pathogens, parasites (and their eggs), and uric acid which cannot be absorbed by crops. The organic matter and water content in chicken manure are approximately 25% and 70%, respectively, while the NPK values are 1.63%, 1.54%, and 0.85%, respectively.

Pig Manure

On average, a broiler chicken excretes about 0.14kg of manure per day. Due to the low absorption efficiency of feed in chickens, the nutrient content in their manure is high. However, chicken manure cannot be used directly without proper treatment due to the presence of various pathogens, parasites (and their eggs), and uric acid which cannot be absorbed by crops. The organic matter and water content in chicken manure are approximately 25% and 70%, respectively, while the NPK values are 1.63%, 1.54%, and 0.85%, respectively.

Cattle Manure

Beef cattle typically excrete about 30kg of stool and 20kg of urine per day. Due to their feeding style, cattle manure generally contains more fiber. Although the water content is slightly lower compared to other types of manure, the nutrient content and ventilation are poor. The moisture content of cattle manure is around 80%, while the organic matter content is about 20%. The original NPK values in cattle manure are 0.34%, 0.16%, and 0.4%, respectively.

 

Integration and recycle of the animal manure

Despite the high water content, animal manure contains more nutrients than other types of waste. By mixing it with other materials that have lower water and nutrient content, such as leaves, branches, sawdust, straw, and grass cuttings, we can reduce the energy consumption required for the drying process and increase the quantity of the final product. This can enhance its market value.

Remark:

To optimize the composting process, it is recommended to mix animal manure with other materials such as leaves, branches, and stalks. The specific gravity of animal manure typically ranges from 0.8 to 1.2, while the specific gravity of leaves and branches is typically between 0.3 and 0.5. By properly mixing these materials, the quantity of the final product can be increased, and the drying period can be reduced.

Principle

Composting is a popular method for managing animal manure, such as livestock and poultry manure. This process involves the decomposition of organic matter in manure by microorganisms under controlled conditions, resulting in the production of nutrient-rich humus that can be used as organic fertilizer. Composting is a natural and eco-friendly process that benefits both soil and plants.

The resulting compost can be used as a base fertilizer for your own land, or it can be processed further to produce marketable bagged organic fertilizer. To set up a manure composting system, you need to consider various factors such as the composting process, methods, machines, conditions, and post-composting processing.

Summary

Manure composting is not only beneficial for improving soil physical and chemical characteristics but also serves as a good source of fertilizer for crop production. Instead of considering manure as waste, producers can view it as a valuable product that can replace commercial fertilizers and be utilized as an economic resource.

Composting is an effective manure management tool that reduces volume, kills pathogens and weed seeds, and enhances soil health and fertility. However, it is crucial to test soil and compost for nutrients before application. Applying compost with a calibrated spreader ensures that crop yield goals are achieved and minimizes the risk of pollution. The volume reduction achieved through composting manure can lead to significant cost savings for producers. There are various types of manure composting machines available for quick composting, which can be utilized based on the specific needs and requirements of producers.

Manure Composting Machine

Chicken Manure Compost Making Machine

Introduction of chicken manure compost making machine

Chicken manure compost making machine is under support of rotating turning shaft driven by the motor, with quantitative turning plate or blades set some distance and angles, the blade is rotating with the shaft, to mix and blend the materials. Equipped with the walking support wheels, the machine can work flexibly between different compost tank.

It has two types, one is the lifting and the other one is normal. The lifting compost turner is used to the width less than 5m tank while the normal type is to the 1.3m width.

Application of chicken manure compost making machine

Poultry or animal manure, sludge or urban wastes, sugar waste, wine brewers or dregs, straw waste and sawdust and other organic waste; it can also be used to the organic fertilizer production, chemical fertilizer production, sludge or urban waste treatment, garden or mushroom culture farm, mainly used to the fermentation of materials and evaporate the moisture.

Advantages of chicken manure compost making machine

Efficiently, stable working, strong and durable, complete composting
Strong compost blades can make full of crushing and mixing
Equipped with the limitation travel switch, safe work
