Abstract:This study successfully applied co-composting to municipal organic waste, faecal sludge and chicken manure feedstocks using optimized mixing ratios to yield high-end organic fertilizers. Nine (9) compost piles with different mixing ratios were prepared. Composting was monitored against physicochemical and nutritive parameters for 13 weeks. At curing, pH values and organic matter for piles were 5.5 to 9.0 and 15–45%, respectively. C/N ratio, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels of piles were satisfactory.… Show more
