Sheep manure is rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it an ideal raw material for preparing organic fertilizers. Using an organic fertilizer compost machine for fermentation can effectively convert it into high-quality organic fertilizer. The following are the basic steps for fermenting sheep manure using an organic fertilizer turning machine:
preparation
Raw material collection: Collect enough sheep manure as the basic raw material. Depending on the actual situation, a small amount of other organic waste such as straw, sawdust, etc. can be mixed to adjust the carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio). The recommended range is generally between 25:1 and 30:1.
Raw material pretreatment: If the humidity of sheep manure is too high, it needs to be preliminarily dehydrated through solid-liquid separation or natural drying, and the moisture content should be controlled between 40% and 60% to facilitate microbial activity.
fermentation process
Stacking: Stack the prepared raw materials into strips or piles, adjust the height, width, and length according to actual conditions, and maintain good ventilation.
Inoculation of fermentation bacteria: Spread specialized compost fermentation bacteria evenly in the raw materials to promote rapid and effective biodegradation process.
Start the compost turning machine: Use the organic fertilizer turning machine to regularly turn and mix materials, ensuring sufficient oxygen, balanced temperature, promoting microbial activity, and accelerating organic matter decomposition.
The frequency of flipping usually depends on temperature changes. When the central temperature rises to about 55 ℃ to 65 ℃, flipping is necessary to prevent beneficial bacteria from dying due to excessive temperature.
Monitoring and maintenance
During the fermentation process, it is necessary to monitor temperature, humidity, and odor, replenish water in a timely manner, and avoid being too dry or too wet.
Regularly check and record the fermentation progress until the material becomes soft, without obvious odor, and the color turns dark brown, indicating that the fermentation is basically completed.
Post processing
Post fermentation maintenance: After fermentation, let the compost stand for a period of time to further mature. This process is called “aging” or “secondary fermentation”, which helps to further decompose complex organic matter.
Crushing and sieving: Crushing mature compost to remove impurities, then sieving to obtain organic fertilizer with uniform texture.
Finished product application
The final product can be directly applied to farmland or gardens, or further processed, such as granulation and packaging, to increase the value of the product.
Using an organic fertilizer composting machine to ferment sheep manure not only effectively converts waste, but also produces environmentally friendly organic fertilizers, improves soil fertility, promotes crop growth, and is an effective way to achieve sustainable agricultural development. This method is particularly suitable for large-scale breeding farms and enterprises or individuals interested in developing circular agriculture.
