Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and maturity of different livestock manures during composting in an opened-static pile system. The horse manure (HM), dairy cow manure (DM), Hanwoo manure (KM) and goat manure (GM) were used with sawdust as a bulking agent to adjust the C/N for its relative high carbon content and to accelerate odor-free process due to the absorption of excess moisture. The temperature profile of the four piles showed an increase from the earliest days of composting and the initial temperatures of HM, DM, KM and GM were 46, 61, 61, and 45°C, respectively. Comparing the moisture content in fresh manure and composted manure of HM, DM, KM and GM, the moisture content decreased significantly as the composting process progressed. The volatile solid in fresh manure showed significant different (p < 0.05) but DM and GM were similar (21 and 20.6%, respectively). In addition, the ash and humic acid (HA) content in fresh and composted manure of different livestock used in this experiment tended to increase as composting progressed, and the highest HA in fresh and composted manure was observed in DM and KM. NH₄-N in composted manure of all the livestock tended to increase significantly (p < 0.05) and the highest value was observed in HM pile. Under the same condition for composting, manure from different livestock species showed the different temperature profiles and degradability.
