here is another article related to pig manure composting technology: http://compost-turner.net/composting-technologies/pig-manure-composting-technology.html Pig manure, the superior organic fertilizer, contains great numbers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that are essential for plant growth, increasing production of food crops. In general, the ingredients of pig manure are 63.7g/kg crude organics, 2.1g/kg total nitrogen, 0.9g/kg total phosphorus, 1.1g/kg total potassium, 1.8g/kg calcium, 0.7g/kg magnesium, 0.3g/kg sulfur, 37.6mg/kg copper, 137.2mg/kg zinc, 6.0mg/kg iron, 425.5mg/kg manganese, 9.2mg/kg boron and 1.0mg/kg molybdenum, etc. Only through full decomposition can pig manure be applied to soil. If not, it’s easy to burn the root system, and the injurious insect incubated by worm eggs from pig manure will add the harm to crops. After fully decomposed, pig manure can become high quality manure mixture for fertilizing, which can be used as high grade base fertilizer for plant crops or as commercial organic fertilizer to sale after subsequent process.
