In the process of poultry farming, the treatment of poultry manure has always been an important issue. The poultry manure fermentation and composting equipment can not only effectively solve the problem of manure treatment, but also convert it into valuable resources.

Poultry manure contains a large amount of organic matter and nutrients, but if it is used directly without treatment, it will bring many hazards, such as burning roots and seedlings, breeding of pests and diseases, and lack of oxygen in the soil.

Through fermentation and composting, the organic matter in the manure can be fully decomposed, killing the pathogens and eggs in it, and becoming a safe and efficient organic fertilizer.

In the process of fermentation and composting, the moisture and carbon-nitrogen ratio of the material must be controlled first. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to keep the moisture content of the material at about 60%, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio is preferably 25:1 to 30:1.

Such conditions are conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and accelerate the fermentation process. Then, the poultry manure is mixed evenly with auxiliary materials such as straw and rice husks and piled into strips.

The height and width of the strips should be moderate to facilitate ventilation and composting operations.

The timing and frequency of compost turning are crucial. When the temperature of the pile rises to about 55℃-60℃ and maintains for a period of time, the first compost turning is required. After that, the compost is turned every 2-3 days according to the temperature change of the pile to ensure sufficient oxygen supply inside the pile and even fermentation. During the compost turning process, the outer and inner materials should be fully exchanged so that all materials can be fully fermented. After a period of fermentation and composting, the poultry manure will gradually become mature. The matured manure is dark brown in color, loose in texture, and has no foul odor. At this time, the manure has become a high-quality organic fertilizer and can be used in farmland, orchards, vegetable fields, etc. It can not only improve soil fertility and soil structure, but also promote the growth of crops and improve the quality and yield of agricultural products. In short, poultry manure fermentation and composting equipment is a very important technology, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of poultry farming and environmental protection. We should attach importance to and correctly use this technology to truly turn poultry manure into treasure.
