Manure is a natural source of plant nutrients, but make no mistake, it has to be transformed to be effective as a soil conditioner. Planned application of organic fertilizers can make your soil active and better provide nutrients for plants. Under the NOP, “farmers and food processors who wish to use the word organic in reference to their businesses and products, must be certified organic.” When you are looking for an organic source for your plants, organic fertilizers are the most straightforward choice . The National Organic Program has established some standards for the conversion of manure into organic fertilizers to avoid damage to crops such as excessive nutrients and pathogens. So how to dispose of your animal waste organically?
Composting and converting to organic fertilizer. Composting is more than just putting together your animal waste. Composting is the management of your animal manure to release organic matter under the right conditions of air, temperature, moisture, etc. Here, composting needs to take into account the various conditions of the outside world
- Composting your poultry manure or livestock manure

Second, choose the correct composting method. You can consider trench composting or window composting. Trough composting is suitable for fertilizer producers with a large amount of manure. Windrow compost is suitable for small fertilizer producers or composters.
Third, turn your compost regularly. Composting is the process by which microorganisms decompose organic matter. During this process, you need to provide oxygen to your pile by turning it. On the other hand, microorganisms generate heat through their activities to kill harmful germs and weed seeds etc. in the feces.
- Processing your manure as organic fertilizer

In the production stage of treating manure into organic fertilizer, you need some machines to help you complete the granulation of fertilizer. What needs to be known is that organic fertilizers are mainly divided into two types: powdered organic fertilizers and granular organic fertilizers. So first you need to consider which form of organic fertilizer to produce. Generally speaking, the production cost of powdered organic fertilizer is relatively lower. Because it does not require granulation equipment, some simple processes can produce powdered fertilizers.

To obtain good organic fertilizers, certain production processes must be followed. If you want to produce granulated organic fertilizer, the choice of granulator is very important. The organic fertilizer granulator mainly adopts wet granulation method, such as disc granulator, stirring tooth granulator and drum granulator. In these machines, your fermented manure will be pelleted into spherical pellets. During pelleting, organic matter is compressed into these spherical pellets, which store nutrients in the manure.
For a small manure organic fertilizer plant, you have a source of 200kg-1ton manure per day, you can consider building a small manure organic fertilizer plant. If you have more than 1 ton of poultry manure per day, then you can consider a business plan for an organic fertilizer plant. A large organic fertilizer plant will bring you more commercial benefits.
- Organic fertilizer raw material processing


- Raw material composting
- Compost crushing
The composted material particles are too coarse and have agglomeration phenomenon. Therefore, your material needs to be crushed into fine powder before granulation, so as to better granulate.

- Drying and Cooling Process
- Screening
Before bagging or bulking, organic fertilizer granules should be screened to obtain the desired particle size and remove unqualified product granules. In this process, fertilizers are separated by screening into products that can be used as fertilizers. The waste re-enters the granulator for granulation.
