Cow and sheep manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer raw material. Through appropriate fermentation treatment by an organic fertilizer composting machine, it can be converted into efficient organic fertilizer, promoting soil health and crop growth. The following are the steps and methods for rapidly fermenting cow and sheep manure to process organic fertilizers:
1. Raw material preparation
Collect fresh manure: Ensure that the collected cow and sheep manure is fresh and avoid prolonged exposure to the air to reduce nutrient loss.
Adjust moisture content: The moisture content of cow and sheep manure should be controlled between 40% -60%. Excessive or insufficient moisture can affect fermentation efficiency. Moisture can be adjusted by adding hay, straw, or moisture regulators.
2. Add fermentation microbial agents
Choose appropriate fermentation agents: Fermentation agents contain beneficial microorganisms that can accelerate the decomposition of organic matter. There are various fermentation agents on the market, and the appropriate one should be selected according to the type of raw materials and fermentation requirements.
Mixing evenly: Spread the fermentation agent evenly on cow and sheep manure, and mix it with a compost or mixer to ensure sufficient contact between the agent and the manure.
3. Fermentation process
Composting: Stack the mixed cow and sheep manure into a pile of a certain height, generally recommended to be 1-2 meters high, with no limit on width, and the length depends on the size of the site. The size and shape of the heap will affect the temperature and speed of fermentation.
Pile turning: During the fermentation process, the organic fertilizer compost machine needs to be regularly turned over, usually every 3-5 days, to ensure sufficient oxygen in the pile and promote uniform fermentation. Flipping can also help regulate the temperature of the stack and avoid local overheating.
Temperature control: During the fermentation process, the temperature of the heap will increase, and the ideal fermentation temperature range is between 50 ° C-60 ° C. Excessive temperature may kill beneficial microorganisms, while low temperature may slow down the fermentation process. Temperature can be controlled by flipping and adjusting the size of the stack appropriately.
4. Fermentation completed
Testing: The fermented organic fertilizer should have no odor, a dark brown or black color, and a loose texture. Professional equipment can be used to detect the pH value, organic matter content, and nutritional components such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in fertilizers.
Post processing: Fermented organic fertilizers can be screened to remove large particles, further crushed to achieve the desired particle size, or dried for storage and transportation.
5. Packaging and Storage
Packaging: The processed organic fertilizers are packaged in common forms such as bags and barrels, ensuring that the packaging is sealed to prevent moisture and contamination.
Storage: Organic fertilizers should be stored in a well ventilated and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and soaking in rainwater to maintain their activity and quality.
Through the above steps, the organic fertilizer composting machine can quickly and effectively ferment and process cow and sheep manure into organic fertilizer. During the fermentation process, appropriate temperature, moisture, and oxygen control are key, and selecting suitable fermentation agents can significantly improve fermentation efficiency and fertilizer quality. Fermented organic fertilizers are not only rich in organic matter and nutrients, but also improve soil structure, promote microbial activity, and have important ecological and economic benefits for agricultural production.
