A Technical Guide: Composting animal waste and agricultural by-products
Benefit of Composting
Composting manure with biological products is the process of decomposing animal and plant waste into organic matter that is easier for plants to digest after just a few weeks or months. This process reduces odor, disease germs, helminth eggs, and harmful bacteria. Using compost will improve soil fertility, provide the soil with essential nutrients for plant growth and some beneficial microorganisms, adjust soil pH, increase resistance to diseases, prevent fungi and pests from harming plants, and increase crop quality and productivity. Compost weighs less and is easier to transport, significantly saving the cost of purchasing chemical fertilizers.
