Manure Composting
Waste Type: Manure Pit
Problem: A university study was conducted at a hog farm in Europe in 1996. The volume of waste produced by the 800 head of hog farm was 600m3 and initially, the manure pit at the farm contained a slurry level of 10cm. The study was conducted over a four week period during which two groups were simultaneously tested. The first group was a control group, and the second group was treated with BIO-SYSTEMS International's specially formulated blend of microbes, stimulants and nutrients.
Treatment: Initially, BIO-SYSTEMS B800, a dry, powdered product, was rehydrated in a ratio of 1kg of product to 10 liters of water. On the first day, 15kg of B800 was added to the pit. Seven days later, the manure pit was treated with an additional 5kg of product, with a final application of 5kg seven days after that. No agitation efforts were made.
Results: After the testing period was over, the results were in. BIO-SYSTEMS B800 had successfully liquified the waste to a far greater extent than the control. Additionally, the numbers indicated a decrease in organic content, and an increase in nitrogen content and ammonia, all making for a better fertilizer value. Furthermore, these improved results were achieved without any significant impact to pH levels (pH in the BIO-SYSTEMS B800 group was 7.5).
The final product was a liquid manure slurry with excellent fertilizing capacity, resulting from little effort on behalf of the hog farm and without great expenditures.
