Technical means for disinfection and processing of bedding manure into organic fertilizers

Organic waste from agricultural production, bedding manure of cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, chickens and poultry litter when kept in cages are the main components for the production of organic fertilizers and biogas production. Waste of grain, cereal crops and sugar beets should be used as components for reducing moisture during aeration in piles, houses and bioreactors. Fresh organic waste should be stored on the sites in piles, where, before being processed in aeration houses and bioreactors, they must go through a mesophilic period. Fresh organic waste, when introduced into the soil in the first year, negatively affects the growth and development of plants, therefore, it must be disinfected and processed into organic fertilizers and biogas. Currently, the lack of knowledge about the methods of disinfection and processing of agricultural waste requires the development of new technological and technical solutions.

Analysis of enzyme activity and microbial community structure changes in the anaerobic digestion process of cattle manure at sub-mesophilic temperatures

Abstract To improve the biogas potential in anaerobic digestion of cattle manure in cold regions, we investigated, in this study, the potential of the anaerobic digestion of cattle manure through sequencing batch anaerobic digestion experiments at sub-mesophilic temperatures (15°C, 20°C, 25°C, and 37°C) for 50 days. Specifically, the changes in the biogas yield, pH, sCOD concentration, enzyme activity, and microbial community structure were examined. The maximum daily yield of biogas was 19.18 mL·gVS−1, which was recorded on day 6 at 37°C, and the final biogas accumulation yield at this temperature was 403.64 mL·gTS−1. The concentration of sCOD gradually increased as enzyme activity increased. The maximum activities of cellulase, hemicellulase, protease, and amylase were recorded in the 37°C experimental group. The decrease in temperature severely limited the activity of different types of enzymes, resulting in a decrease in the activity of microorganisms, which greatly influenced the methanogenic reaction. The dominant bacteria at the phylum level were Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria, and the dominant methanogen at the genus level was Methanosaeta.

Effect of Biofertilizer Addition on Nitrous Oxide Emission

Application of nitrogen fixing biofertilizer, such as Azotobacter, has a potential for reducing nitrous oxide(N2O) emission. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of nitrogen fixing biofertilizer addition to common practices of urea and fresh cattle manure usages for maize (Zea mays L.) growing on N2O emission. The field experiment was conducted at GunungKidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The treatments were addition of fresh cattle manure (M), fresh cattle manure added with nitrogen fixing biofertilizer (MB), urea (U), urea added with nitrogen fixing biofertilizer (UB), and control (no N fertilizer added). Nitrogen contents of the added urea and fresh cattle manure were adjusted to be equal. Urea and fresh cattle manure were given three times throughout the experiment period, i.e. 12, 30, and 48 days after planting (DAP). Urea was given at a rate of 44, 29, and 15 kg.ha-1, respectively while fresh cattle manure was given at a rate of 6000, 4000, and 2000 kg.ha-1, respectively. The emitted N2O was collected using a closed-chamber method at 24, 42, 60, and 72 DAP and were determined using Gas Chromatograph. Soil properties including available N (NH4+-N and NO3–-N) and organic C contents were also analyzed. On the harvesting time, the harvest index and the grain yield were determined. Biofertilizer addition influence decomposition process of cattle manure and urea that led to mineralization and nitrification of residual organic matterand hence to cause soil NH4+N in the order concentration of M treatment > MB > U > UB>C, and soil NO3–-N of MB treatment > M > U > UB>C. Reduction of NO3–N was resulted in the highest N2O emission of M >U>MB>UB>C(P < 0.01). The grain yield, and harvest index of maize wereresulted in the order value of MB> UB > U > M>C treatments.Available mineral N and soil organic C contents strongly affected N2O emission (P < 0.01).The results suggested that biofertilizer addition to common agricultural practices reduce N2O emission and simultaneusly increased grain yield, and harvest index of maize.

Effect of Pesticide and Humic Preparation on the Soil Structure during Pea and Chickpea Cultivation

The article presents the results of a 3-year experiment to study the soil structure with the combined use of insecticides and a humic preparation. Crops were peas (Pisum sativum) and chickpeas (Cicer arietinum). The experiment was carried out in 2019–2021 at the experimental fields of the Federal Rostov Agrarian Scientific Center, located in the Rostov region in the south of the European part of Russia (47°21′ N, 39°52′ E). Soil was Calcic Chernozem Loamic. The studies were carried out both without fertilization and with the use of mineral fertilizers (N40P40K40). Sowings of leguminous crops were treated with a mixture of insecticides and a humic preparation in the phase of bean formation. The humic preparation BIO-Don10 was obtained according to the authors’ technology by alkaline extraction from vermicompost—a product of manure processing by compost worms of the Eisenia foetida species. The preparation contains salts of humic acids and fulvic acids in the amount of 1.9 g/L; the concentration in the mixture with the insecticide was 0.002%. An increase in the structure and water resistance coefficients was observed. A decrease in the block fraction and an increase in the total number of agronomically valuable aggregates were substantiated. It was found that in the cultivation of legumes, the application of mineral fertilizers had a negative effect on the structure of the soil, while, when using pesticides, the structure was preserved better by the end of the growing season. The revealed patterns can be associated with the activity of microorganisms participating in the hydrolysis of organic compounds that stabilize soil aggregates.

Innovative Technology for Processing Poultry Manure for Use in the Novgorod Region

With the development of poultry farming, the problem of utilizing poultry manure is becoming more and more relevant. Manure is a source of strong environmental pollution (soil, groundwater, atmospheric air); it negatively affects human health and gene pool. At the same time, manure is one of the best organic fertilizers, containing a large amount of nutrients necessary for the growth and development of plants. The article discusses the most economical and environmentally friendly biotechnological methods of manure processing, namely, processing by effective microorganisms. The article presents the technology of accelerated manure composting; it was carried out in the natural and climatic conditions of the Novgorod region and resulted in obtaining two types of products: loose and granular compost. The conditions of the composting process in the spring-summer and autumn-winter periods have been analyzed. The authors dwell upon the requirements for using compost when growing crops.

Intensification of heat and mass transfer and dewatering of thermolabile organic materials

Ukraine has a high level of industry, agriculture and consumption. As a result of underutilization of recovered materials and their products into the environment returns significant amount of waste that contaminate soil, water, air. Dumps occupy large areas, long ground beneath them put out of production, they pollute the environment. The main causes of waste, lack of effective processes and capacities of processing residues, spatial and chronological dissociation processes of waste and their use, lack of sufficient market.
 Of all the organic waste in Ukraine is one of the main places belong chicken droppings. Fresh droppings quickly oxidizes the soil, humus and inhibits microorganisms, disrupting its natural ecosystem biological community. With some preparation and processing of chicken manure is a high quality fertilizer that contains chemical elements (N, P, K), macro- and micronutrients, humic acid and other components that are essential for growth and fertility of different plants.
 For decontamination litter widely used thermal drying at t = 600 – 800 °C. This product is well kept dry, easily transported, but using traditional drying facilities for its handling used large amount of heat.
 Today continually created and offered new modern technologies for processing chicken manure.
 At the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics NAS of Ukraine many years conducted investigations on the creation of modern technologies and equipment for processing organic waste. 
 Analysis of the traditional intensification methods and processes of heat and mass transfer during drying of materials was presented in the paper. The author has proved the promising nature of the method of the combined processes of drying and dispersion using a mechanical rotor to intensify the process of drying of high–moisture thermolabile materials.

Evaluation of a leach bed reactor for the anaerobic digestion of drylot collected cattle manure

Conventional anaerobic digestion (AD) technologies are not appropriate for processing drylot collected manure without excessive water addition. An alternative AD approach, the leach bed reactor (LBR), may facilitate the digestion of drylot manures with minimal water use but leach bed reactors (LBRs) are known to experience hydraulic failures with manure wastes. The addition of a top sand layer to LBRs is investigated to facilitate the processing of drylot cattle manure containing up to 90% total solids (TS) without hydraulic failure. Here, LBRs were operated to overcome clogging issues and assess the extent of hydrolysis of organic matter in the manure. The system was operated as a batch process with a digestion time of 42 days. The LBRs showed a mean total chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of 51.6% and a total volatile solids reduction of 44.7% in manure. Biochemical methane potential tests on leachate indicated a mean methane yield of 0.13 L CH4/g COD leached. The appropriate operational time for the system was found to be 14 days.

Environmental and economic trade-offs of using composted or stockpiled manure as partial substitute for synthetic fertilizer.

Manure generated from livestock production could represent an important source of plant nutrients in substitution of synthetic fertilizer. To evaluate the sustainability of partially substituting synthetic fertilizer with soil organic amendments (OAs) in horticulture, an economic and greenhouse gas (GHG) budget was developed. The boundary for analysis included manure processing (stockpiling vs. composting) and transport and spreading of manure and compost (feedlot and chicken) in intensively cultivated horticultural fields. The OA field application rates were calculated based on the nitrogen supplied by OAs. The GHG budget based on directly measured emissions indicates that the application of composted manure, in combination with reduced fertilizer rate, was always superior to stockpiled manures. Compost treatments showed from 9 to 90% less GHG emissions than stockpiled manure treatments. However, higher costs associated with the purchase and transport of composted manure (three times higher) generated a greater economic burden compared with stockpiled manure and synthetic fertilizer application. The plant nutrient replacement value of the OAs was considered only for the first year of application, and if long-term nutrient release from OAs is taken into account, additional savings are possible. Because the income from soil carbon sequestration initiatives in response to OA application is unlikely to bridge this financial gap, particularly in the short term, this study proposes that future policy should develop methodologies for avoided GHG emissions from OA application. The combined income from soil carbon sequestration and potentially avoided GHG initiatives could incentivize farmers to adopt OAs as a substitute for synthetic fertilizers, thereby promoting more sustainable farming practices.

Bioavailability of phosphorus in granulated and pyrolyzed broiler manure

Production of organic fertilizers from poultry manure may compromise availability of phosphorus (P) to plants. This study examined the effects of granulation, feather meal addition, and pyrolysis on bioavailability of P in broiler manure in a pot experiment with ryegrass and assessed whether P availability is enhanced by inoculating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) into soil. Granulated broiler manure gave similar plant yield and P uptake to superphosphate. Feather meal addition had a minor negative effect on P availability, whereas pyrolysis lowered the fertilization effect of broiler manure. The yield-based mineral-P equivalences were 120%, 85% and 75% during the first harvest, and 100%, 75% and 45% during one growing season for granulated unamended, granulated amended with feather meal and pyrolyzed broiler manure. Soil inoculation with AMF did not enhance P availability. Granulated poultry manure is suitable as a P fertilizer for annual crops with comparable bioavailability to mineral fertilizer P, whereas pyrolyzed poultry manure is suitable as a slow-release or storage P fertilizer in slightly acidic soils. Knowledge on P bioavailability in organic fertilizers produced with different technologies can be used for optimizing fertilization, minimizing build-up of soil P and its adverse environmental effects. • Processing of poultry manure is needed to enhance sustainable use of P. • Bioavailability of P in granulated broiler manure was equal to superphosphate. • Feather meal amendment had minor effects on bioavailability of P in broiler manure. • Slow pyrolysis of broiler manure decreased bioavailability of P. • Granulation and pyrolysis produce poultry manure fertilizers for distinct purposes.

Pemanfaatan Kotoran Ternak Sebagai Sumber Energi Alternatif di Kelompok Ternak Sapi Potong Sido Makmur Umbulsari Jember

The sustainability of the livestock business does not only depend on the success of the maintenance system which aims at increasing productivity, but also on the ability to process the resulting livestock waste. Livestock waste is the main source of quality degradation for the environment, this occurs due to the presence of ammonia and methane gas which is formed from the decomposition of organic matter. Ammonia along with other gases can cause acid rain, while methane gas causes a greenhouse effect. This community service partner is a farmer who is part of the "Sido Makmur" beef cattle group in Umbulrejo village, Umbulsari sub-district, Jember district. The purpose of this community service activity is to transfer knowledge and technology regarding livestock waste processing to be used as biogas. The selection of waste treatment topics is based on a situation analysis of the "Sido Makmur" livestock group. The results of the situation analysis show that generally livestock manure is not processed and is left around the stables and there are some group members who have difficulty buying LPG fuel because it is considered quite expensive. The implementation of the service consists of several activitie, the first was outreach activities, demonstrations / practices and assistance of community service activities. The results of the community service survey which have shown that the application of technology in the processing or utilization of livestock manure into a useful material that even has economic value will support the creation of an environmentally friendly livestock system or zerro waste system, besides that it will also improve the welfare of breeders through minimizing the cost of purchasing fuel.

Changes in speciation, mobility and bioavailability of Cd, Cr and As during the transformation process of pig manure by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)

The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens) are a good candidate for poultry and livestock manure treatment. The harvested insect bodies and feces can be used as animal feed and organic fertilizer. However, heavy metals have a negative impact on the transformation process of the manure by BSFL. Here we evaluated the effects of Cd, Cr and As in pig manure on the growth of BSFL, as well as the mobility and changes in speciation of the metals during the transformation process. The results showed that As significantly reduced the weight of BSFL, but Cr and Cd had no significant effects on BSFL growth. The bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) at various concentrations of Cd (2.8–3.7) were significantly higher than those of Cr (0.44–0.62) and As (0.43–0.45). The heavy metals in pig manure were mainly transferred to BSFL feces, and the distribution percentages of Cd, Cr and As in the BSFL feces were 52.6–62.0%, 90.3–94.2% and 93.0–93.3%, respectively. Cd concentrations in BSFL feces were significantly lower than those in the pig manure, while there were no significant differences in the concentrations of Cr and As between BSFL feces and pig manure (except for the treatment with the addition of 150 mg Cr kg−1). The metal speciation (weak acid soluble, reducible, oxidizable and residual fractions) in BSFL feces obviously changed when compared with pig manure. In BSFL feces, the reducible proportion of Cr decreased while the oxidizable proportion increased. Cd mainly existed in the weak acid soluble and reducible states in pig manure and BSFL feces. For As, the proportions of weak acid soluble and reducible states decreased in BSFL feces. After the BSFL transformation process, the bioavailable fraction of Cr decreased by 17.3–23.1%, but those of Cd and As did not change significantly, except for As in the CK group. These findings contribute to our understanding of the roles of BSFL during the biotransformation process of livestock manure as well as the safe utilization of transformed products.

Potential Processing of Biogas Products for the Needs of Villagers in Jimbaran Village, Puspo District, Pasuruan Regency

The rise follows the increase in population in energy consumption that causes a decrease in the supply of non-renewable energy in the world. With its wealth in natural resources, Indonesia is even predicted to experience a decline in oil supply as renewable energy within 15 years. Therefore, energy transformation needs to be done slowly. This research emphasizes renewable energy utilization projects with high potential that have not been optimized, one of which is through cow manure processing into biogas products. The purpose of the research in Jimbaran Village, Puspo Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency is to further explore the plan of processing cow manure into Jimbaran Village's biogas products. The method used in research activities is the descriptive research method. Data collection is done online through virtual calls between researchers and the Jimbaran village apparatus, the Village Secretariat. The data obtained were analyzed with PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) and RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) data analysis techniques. Based on the survey results and data analysis, a biodigester procurement project plan was obtained as a form of a program developed in the study area to utilize cow manure as input for renewable energy processing. Through the biodigester procurement plan, it is expected that biogas products can provide fuel to rural communities with their farms' potential

Compostability of Treatment Sludge and Cattle Manure

In this study, the compostability of treatment sludge sourced from the food industry (TS) and cattle manure (CM) was investigated. For this purpose, sunflower stalks (SS) were added as a bulking agent and composting experiments were performed. Different mixtures (R1, R2, R3) were prepared in order to determine the individual and co-compostability of the raw materials used. In the R1 reactor, TS and SS in the ratio of 70:30, in the R2 reactor, CM and SS in the ratio of 70:30, and in the R3 reactor, TS, CM and SS in the ratio of 35:35:30 were mixed, respectively. Temperature, organic matter, pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and C/N ratio parameters were monitored during the 21-day process. The highest temperatures during the composting process were determined as 43.9°C, 43.9°C and 53.7°C in the R1, R2 and R3 reactors, respectively. When the C/N ratios are examined, R3, in which the C/N ratio had decreased at a rate of 18.5% by the end of the process and which had the highest temperature rise, can be defined as the best reactor. It has been found that the efficiency of the composting process of food industry treatment sludge and cattle manure is high.

Virtuous utilization of biochar and carbon dioxide in the thermochemical process of dairy cattle manure

The huge generation of livestock manures has been raised due to the dramatically increasing protein demand. In this study, dairy cattle manure (DCM) was valorized through a pyrolysis platform using CO2 as a co-feedstock, suggesting the conversion of manure to value-added chemicals in a sustainable and renewable way. This work demonstrated that biocrude derived from DCM involves high contents of N-containing hetero-hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds. Because they are not desirable chemicals to be used as fuels due to the challenges during combustion processes, they were further transformed into syngas. CO2 and DCM-derived biochar signified the conversion of biocrude into syngas at ≤ 600 °C, where no gasification reaction works. The gas phase reactions of CO2 with gas phase biocrude led to enhanced CO formation. In addition, alkaline metal(oxide)s in biochar promoted gas phase reactions and chemical bond scissions of biocrude, resulting in more than 5 times higher H2 and CO formations with 3 g DCM biochar than non-catalytic pyrolysis. To evaluate the performance of DCM biochar, pyrolysis of DCM was done with Ni and Co catalysts. The promotion effect of DCM biochar for syngas formation was better than that of equivalent amount of Co catalyst. The performance of DCM biochar was higher than Ni when the additional amount of biochar was used. Considering that DCM is emitted as an agricultural waste material, it is inferred that the waste derived biochar has more economic viability than metal catalysts. Therefore, this study provides that the CO2-driven pyrolysis with DCM biochar could be an environmentally benign means for syngas generation with an economic benefit.

The Effect of Antibiotics on Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion Process of Cattle Manure

This study explored the effect of eight antimicrobials on the efficiency of biogas production in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process of cattle manure. The microbiome involved in AD, presence and number of genes mcrA, MSC and MST specific for Archaea, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) concentration in digestate (D) were examined. Supplementation of antibiotics to substrate significantly lowered biogas production. Amoxicillin caused a 75% decrease in CH4 production in comparison with the control samples. Enrofloxacin, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline reduced the amount of biogas produced by 36, 39, 45 and 53%, respectively. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA results revealed that bacteria dominated the Archaea microorganisms in all samples. Moreover, antibiotics led to a decrease in the abundance of the genes mcrA, MSC, MST, and induced an increase in the number of tetracyclines resistance genes. Antibiotics decreased the efficiency of the AD process and lowered the quantity of CH4 obtained, while stimulating an increase in the number of ARGs in D. This work reveals how antimicrobials affect the cattle manure AD process and changes in microbial biodiversity, number of functional genes and ARGs in the digestate due to drugs exposure. It also, provides useful, practical information about the AD process.

Nutrient content and greenhouse gas emissions of goat manure compost processed without and with decomposer

Processing of livestock manure into compost needs to be done to increase its nutrient availability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of the study was to evaluate the compost of goat manure processed without and with decomposer on nutrients content and greenhouse gas emissions. Three treatments were Control = 100% manure; C-Dec1 = 85% manure + 15% sawdust + 0,25% urea + 0,25% TSP + 0,25% Decomposer1; C-Dec2 = 85% manure + 15% sawdust + 0,25% urea + 0,25% TSP + 0,25% Decompposer2. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 5 replications. The results showed that application of the two decomposers significantly affected fermentation temperature. The methane gas emitted from C-Dec1 and C-Dec2 compost were 341 and 340 ppm, which were less than control being 623 ppm. However, there was no difference on methane gas emissions between C-Dec1 and C-Dec2 groups. The usage of both decomposers did not significantly affect the N2O gas emissions, compost nutrients contents, and ratio C/N. From this study it can be concluded that goat manure compost processed using decomposer produced less methane gas emissions, while the nutrients content of composts produced from the three groups were similar.

Insights about the Choice of Pig Manure Processing System in Three Italian Regions: Piemonte, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Veneto

The adoption of best available technologies (BATs) by the livestock sector has a fundamental role in developing a sustainable agricultural system. Italy is the EU member with the highest percentage of manure treated, but processing facilities are regionally scattered and the adoption of BATs is far from being scaled-up. The adoption is a matter of multicriteria decision-making and full knowledge on how to foster the transition is still lacking. The present research aims to deepen the available knowledge by analysing the perception of 40 pig farm managers about decision criteria behind the adopted manure management system across three different Italian regions. We assessed farms in Piemonte, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Veneto. All farms have adequate storage facilities, but 82.5% adopt no processing technique. The two most important decision criteria are economic, i.e., the minimization of treatment and spreading costs. The emerging picture allows us to conclude that BAT adoption is still adopted as a mere consequence of legal obligation. Economic constraints prevail as there is a lack of information and uncertainty. Clear perspectives and recognition of virtuous behavior prevent farmers from making decisions based on environmental or social criteria. Therefore, effective policies oriented to fill these gaps are needed to accelerate the transition towards sustainability.

Experimental studies of the process of drying chicken manure with exhaust air from the poultry house

Annotation Purpose. Experimental establishment of regularities of the process of drying chicken manure due to the use of exhaust air from the poultry house. Methods. The experimental research is based on methods of experiment planning and static processing of the obtained data. Calculations, processing of experimental data, modeling and graphical display of dependencies were performed using application software for Windows: Microsoft Excel. Results. The number of conveyors for drying fresh chicken litter with a layer of 3, 7 and 10 cm with air with a temperature of 30–35 °C and 20–22 °C using a bubble air from the poultry house is determined. Conclusions 1. The construction-technological scheme of the experimental sample of technical means for drying of chicken manure by means of exhaust air from a poultry house is developed. 2. Experimental studies of the process of loading manure across the width of the perforated pallet (sieve). It is established that the greatest uniformity of 88% is provided by the conveyor with the bilateral screw for distribution. 3. It was experimentally determined that in the process of drying with exhaust air with a temperature of 30–35 °С and a constant speed of 4.1–4.6 m/s in the summer, the humidity of chicken manure from the initial 68 % decreased to the required 15 % in 22 hours. In the cold season, at an air temperature of 20–22 °С, with the same air speed for 22 hours, the humidity of the manure decreased from 68 % to 20 %, which indicates the need to heat the air to achieve drying time to the required humidity of 15 %. Keywords: chicken manure, exhaust air, heat flow, poultry house, poultry farming, utilization methods, drying, poultry waste.

Effect of Antibiotics Used in Animal Husbandry on the Distribution of Bacterial Drug Resistance (Review)

Antibiotics are widely used in animal husbandry at present. Due to their excessive and incorrect use, they have led to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), as well as antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in microbial communities of the environment. The review examines works on the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, the transmission of ARGs and ARB from animals to humans, their spread in the environment with wastewater from livestock enterprises and water and air flows. The role of manure as a reservoir of ARGs and the effect of the processing and storage of manure on the abundance and diversity of ARB and ARGs have been also analyzed. We have also touched on issues related to the presence of ARGs and ARB in animal and plant products and their introduction into the human microbiome with food.

Biotechnological preparation of sewage and livestock manure from livestock farms for the needs of horticulture

Ensuring food security of the state provides for obtaining high yields of agricultural crops and the development of livestock facilities. The aim of the investigation is to develop an accelerated biotechnological preparation of sewage and livestock manure from livestock farms for irrigation of pastures and fertilization of fields for forage crops. Closed-loop systems for products output on pig farms and cattle farms using biotechnology for the preparation of livestock manure for irrigation of fields in the production of forage crops have been developed. The biotechnology of accelerated preparation of sewage and liquid livestock manure is based on the principles of their mechanical separation into fractions with the subsequent preparation of liquid concentrated organic fertilizers using nutraceuticals, which speed up the processes of their preparation in a much shorter time than using traditional technologies. A closed-loop system for products output on sheep and pig farms and cattle farms using biotechnology is proposed. The basis of biotechnology in the processing of solid livestock manure is the principle of accelerated components composting using nutraceuticals. The implementation of accelerated preparation system of sewage and livestock manure for irrigation of pastures and fertilization of fields for forage crops contributed to an increase in their yield up to 20.54%. At the same time, the milk yield per forage cow increased by 8.47-14.20%; average daily weight gain - by 13.30–47.73%.
