Impact of Decomposing Culture and Cow Dung on Different Nutrients of Poultry Waste

Poultry litter is used as a natural fertilizer. Because of its high nutrient value, poultry waste is used as a bio-fertilizer in agricultural crops. But poultry farmers after liquidation of the scheme, they dump waste at one place in the farm as land filling, which cause harmful effects on environment. It is important to understand nutrient content of poultry manure, which includes various macro and micro nutrients present in litter after recycling the manure. The poultry litter, provides a major source of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other micro elements needs for crop production. In the present study, after decomposing the poultry waste for the duration of 45 days using cow dung resulted enrichment of macro and micro nutrients. This is the viable alternative for solid waste management of animal waste from rural or urban areas
