All compost mixtures also showed similar dynamics of respiration activity during the entire composting process. On the 1st day, the values ranged from 0.002 to 0.008 mg CO2 g h−1 . Furthermore, by the 3rd day, in all variants there was a sharp increase in the level of respiration to 0.008–0.013 mg CO2 g h−1 , which coincided with the
Jan 1, 2024 · At the end of composting, FM reduced the abundance of intI1, intI2, ISCR1, and Tn916/1545 by 29.7%–81.7% in FM compared with CK. The total abundance of MGEs in FM compost products was reduced by 96% compared with the initial feedstock. The results indicated that composting effectively reduced the contamination and spread of MGEs in the
Sep 26, 2023 · Abatement of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock manure by composting has attracted attention. This study investigated the effect of adding magnesium-modified biochar (MBC) on ARGs and microbial communities in chicken manure composting. Twelve genes for tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and macrolides, and mobile genetic elements were measured in the compost pile. The results showed
Nov 21, 2017 · We’ve rounded up 10 sturdy compost turners—from stirrers that look like long-handled corkscrews to steel hooks—to get you started: Above: A Compost Turner that has “a free spinning hardwood handle, allowing the user to aerate compost with ease and efficiency, and without strain,” notes the retailer.
Turners range in various sizes from 6 feet wide to as much as 20 feet wide. A 10-foot-wide turner may turn 1,500 yards per hour, while a 14-foot turner may turn as much as 2,600 yards per hour. Implements that run a turner must have a creeper gear and go as slowly as 20 feet per minute. Turning becomes easier throughout the composting process.

The pH of both groups increased at first with a fast and slow trend, then decreased gradually before finally stabilizing (Fig. 1 b).With the initial compost pH at 7.03, the peak pH of treatment reached 8.17, which was 6.38 % higher than the peak pH of control (7.68) (P < 0.05).
Jan 20, 2022 · The use of livestock manure is an important way for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to enter the environment, and composting is an effective method for removing ARGs from livestock manure. In
A tractor-pulled compost turner with enormous power thanks to a 3.5 m rotor length and 4 m² windrow cross-section. Material quantities of up to 1,200 m³/h are no problem for this model. Tractor operation makes the CMC ST 350 a cost-effective, powerful solution for medium-sized composting plants.
Make preparations for composting. Firstly, collect chicken manure and adjust moisture to suitable level (50% to 60%). Secondly, collect C-rich organic waste (such as sawdust, wood shavings, straw powder and so on), and mix it with chicken manure evenly. Because chicken manure is N-rich materials, the addition of straw power can adjust C/N ratio
Mar 3, 2023 · Compost has four ingredients: carbon, nitrogen, air, and water. Nitrogen and carbon are often described as greens and browns, but it can be deceiving – Chicken poop is definitely brown, but it’s a nitrogen source so technically “green,” just like kitchen scraps.

Provide proper airflow: Ensure adequate aeration in the compost pile by turning it regularly or using a compost tumbler, allowing oxygen to reach the microorganisms responsible for decomposition.
Jun 13, 2023 · Mature compost has the advantages of porosity, large spe-cic surface area and rich microbial species [24]. Adding a certain proportion of mature compost in the initial stage of composting can shorten the composting process, acceler-ate microbial succession and increase the richness of the microbial population [19]. Studies have shown that mature
Our high-capacity compost windrow turner, the Trner Composter, has many features and advantages that make it stand out against the competition. Proudly made in the USA, the Trner Composter has a tough, box design.
Feb 24, 2024 · Purpose Co-composting of chicken manure and edible mushroom residue inoculated with oxytetracycline-degrading strain T4 was conducted to reduce the risk of residual oxytetracycline and tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) to the ecological environment.
