Disposal of poultry mannure
Oxidation ditches: aerobic fermentation of mannure occurs in open ditches. Bacteria decompose organic matter into simpler substances like CH4/NH4, sludge and liquid mannure. Liquid portion has NPK & can be used as fertilizer in field. Solid sludge contain Vit. B12 and minerals, which can be used in the animal feed up to 3-10 %. Disposal of poultry mannure
Solid disposal
mannure is scattered on ground in thin layer which dries fast and can be applied to soil. Dig in pits with compression: heat is generated making the material sterile to use as fertilizer. Solid disposal
Shallow covered ponds in which mannure is dumped along with liquid waste.
Shallow covered ponds in which mannure is dumped along with liquid waste. Here, anaerobic fermentation decomposes mannure and after 2-3 months enriched mannure can be obtained.
Deep stacking of poultry waste produces considerable heat and had been shown to destroy coliforms. The ma
Deep stacking of poultry waste produces considerable heat and had been shown to destroy coliforms. The maximum temperature was attained in 4-8 days and destroys the pathogenic organisms.
