How to ferment chicken manure into organic fertilizer, the farmer's trick to turn waste into treasure
The method of fermenting chicken manure into organic fertilizer generally includes the following steps:
1.Collect chicken poop: First, chicken poop and chicken poop urine must be collected from the chicken coop. In the production process, try not to mix too much debris in the chicken manure, such as weeds, feed residues, etc.
2.Stir: Mix the chicken poop with other organic matter. Straw, hay and sawdust are effective methods to regulate the proportion of C N and moisture content in chicken manure. The right ratio of carbon to nitrogen is conducive to fermentation and provides nutrients to bacteria and other microorganisms.
3.Water regulation: In organic fertilizers, maintaining proper moisture is crucial. Chicken droppings should be slightly wet, but not over-wet, otherwise rotting bacteria will be formed. If the chicken manure is too moist, it can be adjusted by adding appropriate dry ingredients. Conversely, if chicken poop is too dry, add an appropriate amount of water to retain moisture.
4.Compost disposal: Pile the chicken manure that has been mixed well in a well-ventilated area for piling. Open or closed containers can be selected for storage according to actual conditions. The reactor is flipped and agitated regularly in order to increase the influx of oxygen and improve microbial activity.
5.Fermentation process: After a period of time, the organic matter in chicken feces is gradually degraded under the metabolism of bacteria and other microorganisms, and finally produces heat. This process is called fermentation. Under these conditions, under certain conditions, various harmful bacteria and germs in the environment are sterilized.
6.Fermentation period: 3 to 6 months generally, generally 3 to 6 months, generally 3 to 6 months, depending on the specific conditions of each place. In the production process, it is necessary to strictly control the moisture and temperature of the material to ensure the normal operation of the process.
7.Maturation and storage: Over a certain period of time, chicken manure will slowly turn into brown or black organic matter. According to the change of color, smell and texture of chicken manure, it can be judged that it has entered the maturity stage. Mature organic fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of crops and improve soil quality.
When making organic fertilizer from chicken manure and urine, the following should be noted:
1.Pay attention to personal hygiene and environmental protection: When handling chicken droppings, wear protective equipment, such as gloves and face masks, to avoid damage to the human body due to germs and odours. In addition, when disposing and storing, attention should be paid to environmental protection to prevent pollution to groundwater and the surrounding ecological environment.
2.Temperature and humidity control: To ensure that fermentation proceeds smoothly, temperature and humidity should be checked and adjusted frequently. If the temperature is too high, it will not be easy to carry out a complete fermentation, and if the temperature is too low, the fermentation process will become longer.
3.Balanced agitation and turning: Periodic and balanced agitation and flipping increases the oxygen supply to the pile and brings the mixtures into contact with each other, thus speeding up the fermentation process.
In short, the fermentation of chicken manure into organic fertilizer needs to go through raw material mixing, humidity adjustment, composting treatment, fermentation, maturation and storage. Reasonable processing and management of livestock and poultry manure can not only turn livestock and poultry manure into organic fertilizer, but also provide sufficient nutrients for crops, improve soil quality and improve the ecological environment.
