Abstract
In order to know their effect on composting, we added ligno-cellulosic waste, microbial additive, or Yucca juice to chicken manure piles, which were composted in 2 m3, temperature and air flux-controlled bins. The nitrification/denitrification activity during the composting process was tested in the different mixtures.
In the turned piles, microbial activity developed after 6 weeks. Denitrification occurred in the manure and manure-ligno-cellulosic waste mixture piles, while nitrification occurred in the manure-Yucca juice pile. In the static pile, which was composed of a manure-microbial additives mixture composted for 12 weeks, no nitrification/denitrification activity was detected.
Related to the data on temperature, moisture, gas emissions and the chemical analyses, the results obtained show that the additives used in the experiment have an obvious effect on composting. All the additives reduce the nitrogenous losses, owing to the modification of the composting conditions and microbial environment (microbial additive), the increase of the C/N ratio (ligno-cellulosic waste) or the regulation of the emission of ammonia (Yucca juice). The microbial additive leads to the more conservative process in terms of nitrogen, and the Yucca juice addition, to a larger proportion of dinitrogen in the released nitrogenous gases.
