How are different types of manure processed into organic fertilizers?

A Comprehensive Guide to Species-Specific Conversion Technologies

1. Poultry Manure Conversion Process
High-Temperature Aerobic Fermentation

Processing Workflow:
① Raw Material Preparation
Collect fresh manure (moisture 50-60%) with bedding materials

② Primary Fermentation

  • Use groove-type turners for daily agitation
  • Maintain 55-65℃ for 10 days
  • Achieve 30-40% volume reduction

③ Secondary Maturation

  • Static pile curing for 15-20 days
  • Microbial community stabilization

④ Granulation

  • Mix with binder (2-3% lignosulfonate)
  • Form 3-4mm pellets via rotary drum granulator

Key Parameters:

  • C/N ratio adjustment: 25:1 to 30:1
  • Germination index: >80%
  • Organic matter: ≥45%

2. Ruminant Manure Treatment System
Mechanical Dehydration & Composting

Processing Stages:
▷ Phase 1: Solid-Liquid Separation

  • Screw press separator reduces moisture from 75% to 28-32%
  • Recover 60-70% liquid for biogas production

▷ Phase 2: Windrow Composting

  • Form 1.5m high x 2m wide windrows
  • Weekly turning with wheel-type equipment
  • Add 5% zeolite for odor control

▷ Phase 3: Bio-enrichment

  • Inoculate with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria
  • 15-day curing enhances P availability

Output Specifications:

  • NPK content: 4-3-3 standard
  • Moisture: <15%
  • PH value: 6.5-8.0

3. Swine Manure Upcycling Method
Co-composting with Carbon Amendments

Step-by-Step Processing:
✓ Pre-treatment

  • Crush straw amendments to 2-3cm fragments
  • Mix swine manure with amendments (3:1 ratio)

✓ Thermophilic Phase

  • Crawler turner operation every 3 days
  • Temperature monitoring (60-70℃ maintained)

✓ Curing & Screening

  • 20-day maturation period
  • Rotary screener removes >4mm particles

✓ Value-Added Processing

  • Optional humic acid extraction
  • Pellet coating with beneficial microbes

Quality Benchmarks:

  • Humic acid: ≥25%
  • Cellulose decomposition: ≥75%
  • Heavy metals: Below EU 2019/1009 limits
