Manfaatkan Kotoran Sapi Menjadi Kompos Untuk Tanaman Masa Pandemi Di Kelurahan Umbansari Kota Pekanbaru

Abstract

Farming is currently carried out with organic farming, so compost is needed to replace chemical fertilizers. The use of fertilizers made from organic raw materials is highly recommended, because fertilizers made from compost can help help nutrients in the soil, besides compost can also be made from raw materials that are around our environment.. Using compost can help farmers save on production costs, because compost can be made from unused raw materials. For example, compost derived from cow dung, usually does not have a price and benefits, it turns out that it can be used as a raw material for making compost so that this utilization can reduce production costs that are usually incurred by farmers. The purpose of this service is to provide knowledge to partners that it turns out that the livestock waste they cultivate can be used as raw material for composting so that livestock waste in the form of cow dung can be overcome and can also help farmers reduce costs incurred for farming which is also they do. Compost made from cow dung is very helpful in soil fertility and can be seen directly by its benefits for plants and soil. Conclusion The use of cow dung into compost is to reduce livestock manure waste. This community service activity is concluded to have improved the participants' knowledge, understanding, and skills by an average of 81.25%

Optimization and Experiment of Livestock and Poultry Manure Composting Equipment with Vented Heating

“…The control system maintains the oxygen concentration within an optimal range. To expedite the decomposition of organic material and enhance the fermentation rate, it is essential to sustain a composting temperature between 55 and 65 • C [32][33][34][35]. If the stacking temperature diverges from this range, the control system regulates the electric heating pipe and the ventilation apparatus, ensuring a consistently appropriate stacking temperature.…”

Development and Evaluation of Cow Dung Composting Equipment with Ventilation and Heating

“…As shown in Table 2, this refers to the parameter and function settings of the vent pipe of composting equipment with vent heating. There are three modes of ventilation and oxygen supply: passive ventilation, natural ventilation, and forced ventilation [12]. Forced ventilation is to inject sufficient air into the reaction tank regularly and quantitatively through the mechanical agitator.…”

“…Cow manure is a prevalent organic waste, and its treatment and utilization play a significant role in environmental protection and agricultural production. Traditional cow manure treatment methodologies, including open-air composting [10,12], closed composting, and biogas fermentation, often results in odor interference, harmful gas generation, and low fertilizer efficiency. Recently, due to heightened environmental awareness and technological advancements, ventilation and heating of cow manure composting equipment have gained considerable attention.…”

Formulation and Application of Organic Fertilizer from Cow Dung to Increase Rice Yield by Applying Sustainable Agriculture Principles in Gantiwarno, Klaten

“…The characteristics of manure ready to be applied were reduced odor, the original form was not visible, a cold and crumbly (Bidol & Rukaiyah, 2022). Additionally, it had a blackish-brown color and a high ability to bind water (Siswati et al, 2021).…”
