What is manure?

Manure is the waste produced by livestock. Manure is a mixture mainly of: manure, livestock urine and bedding (vegetables, grass, straw, rice straw ...), organic waste and green manure ... composted by traditional methods or using biological products for composting.

Nutrient composition of manure

The quality of manure depends on the type of livestock and the method of making manure. Some of these factors are:

• Amount of litter

• Type of manure and urine of livestock

• How livestock is cared for

• Type of feed fed to livestock

• Method of composting manure

In general, the nutrient composition of manure is described in the table below:

Effects of manure on crops

• Provide nutrients (macrominerals, medium minerals, trace elements), organic humus ... to increase soil fertility

• Support and stimulate the development of beneficial microorganisms

• Improve resistance to pests, harsh conditions ... of crops

• Support the strong development of plant roots, increase the efficiency of chemical fertilizer use

• Create a good living environment to help beneficial organisms develop: such as earthworms, beneficial microorganisms ...

Why should manure be composted with biological products

Composting manure is an extremely necessary measure before fertilizing the fields. The use of fresh manure (raw manure) often causes loss of nutrients in the cultivated soil. Here are some reasons why manure should be composted with biological products: Manure contains toxic residues such as stimulants, antibiotics, disinfectants, pathogenic bacteria and other organic elements. Many of these toxins can be removed through composting with high temperature biological products. Therefore, it is recommended to apply proper composting techniques to decompose and eliminate the above residues before using them as fertilizer for vegetables.

Some fresh manures contain large amounts of nitrogen and mineral salts. When applied to cultivated crops, these mineral salts can have the same effect as over-application of chemical fertilizers. In excess amounts, they can burn the roots of young plants, reduce their resistance to pests and diseases, and reduce the shelf life of agricultural products. When applied properly, composting will convert animal manure, bedding materials, and other raw products into organic humus, a relatively stable, nutrient-rich component that supports chemical reactions, found in fertile soils.

How to compost manure with biological products

Principle of the method: Add beneficial microorganisms that can decompose organic humus, deodorize, balance nutrients in manure, etc., helping plants absorb easily and balance nutrients for the soil, preventing the soil from being easily leached of nutrients.

Effects of biological products in the composting process

• Inhibit and destroy pathogenic microorganisms, fungal spores, and worm eggs during the composting process

• Deodorize, reduce pollution, and protect the environment
