Why is composting necessary for horse manure management?

In general, there are two reasons why you must compost organic horse manure for management.

Manure can affect horse health because it contains a lot of pathogens, pest eggs, etc. But compost is a harmless process of organic materials. In this process, harmful substances will be eliminated by high temperature. Then you can provide a clean environment for horse living. This is indispensable for healthy horse raising. In addition, compost is also beneficial for using horse manure as fertilizer. It can kill grass seeds to prevent grass growing in fields.

Make quality horse manure fertilizer

In addition, for horse manure management, many will choose to turn it into organic fertilizer. Because it contains rich nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements. But most organic matter exists in the form of cellulose and hemicellulose, which are not easy to absorb by crops and plants. However, after composting, these cellulose and hemicellulose will become small molecules. Plants can absorb it quickly and easily.

How to turn horse manure into compost?

For compost organic horse manure, it is advisable to adopt hot composting method, namely aerobic fermentation method. As the name suggests, it mainly makes use of higher temperature (60℃-70℃) to kill substances in horse waste. In this process, oxygen supply is necessary. This is the reason why microorganisms can act to decompose organic matter and generate enough heat to create a high temperature environment. Compared with other fermentation methods, after hot composting, there are better effect and no odor.

Which machine is suitable for your organic horse manure compost?

What is the easiest way to compost horse manure?

If you are finding the easier way to compost organic horse manure, we recommend you choose in-vessel fermentation tanks. It has a computer control system, which makes composting a fully automatic process. After transport materials, it can complete horse waste material feeding, mixing, aeration, oxygen transport, discharging, etc automatically. Moreover, it is equipped with temperature monitor and oxygen monitor, which can help it finish horse manure composting better. What’s more, because starting manure composting in a closed environment, it can reduce the influence from the outside world. So it can help you ferment organic waste fast and meet your requirements of making comport fertilizer from horse manure all the year.

Is there a more economical organic horse manure compost solution?

But if you are worried about fertilizer compost making cost, you can choose our windrow compost turner. For one thing, it adopts the ground fermentation method. It can compost horse poop on the flat ground directly. So you can save the money on fermentation grooves building. For another, it generally equips with a two-rob control system or steering wheel control system. They both make windrow compost turner work to ferment horse manure piles with only one worker. This means a low investment in the labor force. What’ more, it has a favourable price. Therefore, windrow compost equipment is an excellent choice for you to finish organic horse manure compost at a low cost.

How do composters work to compost horse manure fast?

During the aerobic fermentation of horse waste, oxygen is key to facilitating microorganisms to compost materials. When materials oxygen content is lower than 5%, microorganism activity will be inhabited. It will lead to anaerobic fermentation and generate odor. But after using a suitable compost turner, it is easy to complete. It can break down agglomerate in to small particle size, which has a larger contact area with oxygen. In addition, machine turning will increase the porosity of organic materials. So oxygen can enter the horse manure compost piles.

The same goes for the moisture content of fertilizer fermentation. When it is lower than 40%, the decomposition bacteria activity will decrease. And over 60% water content will hamper the transportation of oxygen and affect fertilizer fermentation. Here, because composting is a temperature rising process, under the action of composter turning, the moisture content of compost piles will decrease continuously. Then how to add water to horse manure compost making? We can offer you horse manure compost equipment with a water tank.

The above two actions can help the temperature of horse manure increase to 60 quickly. Only when the temperature reaches 60℃, the harmful substances in manure will die. However, it cannot exceed 70℃, which will kill beneficial bacteria in organic fertilizer materials. Don’t worry. Composter turning is also helpful for dissipating excessive heat.

How to tell if horse manure is composted?

Temperature

During composting, the organic materials generally heat because of microbe reaction. So if the raw material temperature doesn’t rise again, you can discharge organic manure and transport it to the next procedure.

Smell

In the horizontal fermentation tank, the microbes that make manure stink will be decomposed. So after composting, organic waste no longer has an irritating smell.

Appearance

Fermentation can make raw material become more fine and softer. Appearance is also an item where you can know whether the organic fertilizer materials are fully fermented.
