Arrange fresh manure that has just been collected, into layers and compacted. On each layer of manure sprinkle 2% EM1 preparation. Then compost more biogas waste, peat or dry peat, and then compact it. Gather the ingredients in a pile and then use a layer of chopped straw, sawdust or coconut fiber to thicken the outside of the compost pile. Due to the compaction, the inside of the compost pile lacks oxygen, creating an anaerobic environment. The incubation temperature corresponds to the ambient temperature (about 28-35oC), so microorganisms work slowly, the incubation time is long, about 3-4 months.
> Cow dung can be mixed with crop/plant residue for making compost, vermicompost (with the use of earthworm), Biogas slurry from biogas plant, biochar etc. these are the value added organic manures.
> Now a day's cow dung can be used as a carrier of bio-fertilizers in a high technology agricultural practice. Researchers from the Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyala and MSV Laboratories Private Ltd demonstrated the potential use of cow dung as a carrier of bio-fertilizers.
Mix the cow dung with green manuring crops leaves like dhaincha or glyricidia leaves and sprinkle some quantity of waste decomposer on it and cover it for a month. It will convert into nitrogen rich organic manure.
Fresh cowdung can be used in phosphocompost preparation with rock phosphate, partially decomposed cowdung is used in vermicomposting and cowdung slurry is used in biogas plants for biogas generation and slurry manure. Cowdung is a key material for compost preparation with organic wadtes. Also nutrient and bioculture enriched composts are made with manure.
Generally, compost contain nutrients in smaller quantity, its nutrient value can be increased by application of superphosphate or rock phosphate @ 10-15 kg per ton of raw material at the initial stage of filling the compost pit. Addition of P makes the compost more balanced and supplies nutrient to microorganisms for their multiplication and faster decomposition.
Any available form of livestock waste say cow dung or goat faecal pellets, decompose quickly when applied in field. Recent studies suggest that pulverizing the dried manure provides us with many options such as basal application, pot mixture (when mixed with soil), slurry application etc., Also pulverized manure is easy to carry, decompose and provides with more nutritional content than that of unpulverized one. Various research works were done regarding manure pulverizer cum applicator, pulverizer cum potting mixture and pulverizer alone.
Cow dung can be used with plant residues to raise the ratio of carbon to nitrogen .. It can also be used with plant residues and then fermented before adding it to the soil by activating microorganisms and adding activated doses of chemical fertilizer until complete decomposition and then added to the soil .. It can also be used to produce gas The biological one that is used in cooking and then adding the rest of the produce to the farm to improve plant growth.
