THE COMPOSTING OF WASTES FROM LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

VÁŇA J., MUŇOZ J. O., HAVRLAND B.

Abstract
The work purpose of this article was to find out the influence of aeration on waste composting on base of animal tissues and to find the course of their breakdown pursuant to different combination of substrates. The importance of waste composting from animal production and their stabilization is by reasons of effective carbon sequestration in the soil and by the possibilities of waste decontamination with their pertinent use at following fertilization. The experiments were realized in 50 l fermenters with six different raw material compositions of compost and with different aeration. It was found, that the enhancement of aeration has the influence on higher compost stability only in such compostable wastes and at compliance of further important parameters in compost raw material composition, especially in the optimal C/N ratio (30:1).

Key words:
compost stabilization, compost maturity, carbon sequestration, animal tissues, compost aeration, phytotoxicity, bioassay
