본 연구는 수평 원통형 퇴비화 장치를 이용하여 퇴비를 생산할 때, 폐사축을 동시에 처리할 수 있 는 가능성 여부를 판단하기 위하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 중금속의 경우, 아연의 함유량이 일반 운전의 일부 측정구와 폐사축 운전의 전체 측정구에서 허용함유량 보다 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 폐사축 운전의 경우, 구리 함량도 일반 운전에 비해 높게 나타났다. 우드칩 운전의 경우, 모든 중금속이 허용치보다 낮게 나타났으며, 구리, 카드뮴 및 비소의 경우는 폐사축 운전과 유사하거나 동일 수준으로 나타났다. 단지 니켈의 함유량이 29.5~63.8% 정도로써 일반 및 폐사축 운전에서 각각 9.3~18.0% 및 15.8~18.0% 정도 함유한 것에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 그리고 크롬의 경우도 14.2~31.9% 정도로서 일반 및 폐사축 운전에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 통합 운전의 경우도 모든 중금속이 허용치보다 낮게 나타났으며, 구리와 아연의 함유량은 각각 34.9~54.5% 및 53.1~75.9% 정도로서 우드침 운전의 경우인 48.9~52.6% 및 64.6~85.9% 정도와 유사하였다. 그리고 우드칩 운전에서 다소 높게 나타났던 크롬과 니켈의 함량도 안정화 된 것으로 나타났다. 함수율은 폐사축 운전의 경우, 평균 및 최종치가 60.7% 및 49.6% 정도로서 평균치가 권장치인 55.0% 보다 다소 높게 나타났지 만, 최종 함수율은 권장치인 55.0% 보다 낮게 나타났다. 통합 운전의 경우, 평균 및 최종 함수율이 각 각 29.2% 및 18.6% 정도로서 4개의 운전 중에 상대적으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 운전별로 다소 차이는 있지만, 전체적으로 권장치인 55.0% 보다 낮게 나타났다. C/N비의 경우, 폐사축 운전에서 상대 적으로 가장 낮게 나타났고, 일반 운전에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 운전별로 보면, C/N비의 평균치가 13.7~20.3 정도의 범위이고, 전체평균이 18.3 정도로서 전체적으로 적정치인 30.0 이하를 유지하였다.

To investigate the effects of inorganic phosphate ( 200kg/ha), fermented cow manures( 200kg/ha, 400kg/ha) and poultry manures( 200kg/ha, 400kg/na) levels mixed with sawdust on the soil changes and productivity of alfalfa monoculture, a field experiment ar

This study was conducted to evaluate the structure and composition (i.e., pH, moisture, total-N, pathogens, and volatile fatty acids) of broiler and duck manure treated with larvae of three insect larvae, namely, Tenebrio molitor, Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, and Ptecticus tenebrifer. Hatched Tenebrio molitor (n=300), Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (n=60), and Ptecticus tenebrifer (n=300) were used in this study; specially, the larvae were divided into six treatments with three replicates. The treatments were as follows: T1: 110 g broiler manure + Tenebrio molitor larvae (n=50), T2: 110 g duck manure + Tenebrio molitor larvae (n=50), T3: 125 g broiler manure + Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae (n=10), T4: 125 g duck manure + Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae (n=10), T5: 105 g broiler manure + Ptecticus tenebrifer larvae (n=50), and T6: 105 g duck manure + Ptecticus tenebrifer larvae (n=50). For all the larval treatments, the following results were observed: The moisture content of the duck manure treat with three insect larvae was higher than that of the broiler manure (p<0.05), whereas broiler manure had a higher pH (p<0.05). In addition, the total nitrogen content of broiler manure was higher than that of duck manure (p<0.05). However, the insect larvae did not significantly affect pathogens (E.coli and Salmonella) and the volatile fatty acids (p>0.05). In conclusion, the use of the three insect larvae to create organic nitrogen compost using poultry manure is feasible.

This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of larval stages of three species, namely, Tenebrio molitor, Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, and Ptecticus tenebrifer larvae, in degrading poultry manure, specially, broiler and duck manure. The survival rates of larvae were also noted. For the experiment, T. molitor (n=300), P. brevitarsis seulensis (n=60), and P. tenebrifer (n=300) hatched larvae were randomly divided into six groups with three replicates. The degaradation efficacy tests were then performed for 30 days in a laboratory. The test groups were as follows: T1, 110 g broiler manure + T. molitor larvae (n=50); T2, 110 g duck manure + T. molitor larvae (n=50); T3, 125 g broiler manure + P. brevitarsis seulensis larvae (n=10); T4, 125 g duck manure + P. brevitarsis seulensis larvae (n=10); T5, 105 g broiler manure + P. tenebrifer larvae (n=50); and T6, 105 g duck manure + P. tenebrifer larvae (n=50). The groups showed significant efficacy in degrading broiler and duck manure (p<0.05). The highest survival rates were recorded for T. molitor larvae in both manure types [T1 (92.67%) and T2 (50%)], followed by P. brevitarsis seulensis larvae (T4, 40%) and P. tenebrifer larvae (T6, 14.67%) in duck manure. Next, the survival rates of P. brevitarsis seulensis (T3) and Ptecticus tenebrifer larvae (T5) in broiler manure were 0%. In conclusion, these results point to the feasibility of using insect larvae to degrade broiler and duck manure.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sea urchin shell powder on nitrogen characteristics in poultry litter by assigning ninety 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Arbor Acres) to one of 3 treatments (control, 1% sea urchin shell powder, and 1% feed additives) in 3 replicates of 10 birds each. For all treatments, the overall dry matter contents were decreased (P < 0.05) as time increased, except for at 1 week. When compared with controls, the dietary sea urchin shell powder and feed additives for 0 and 3 weeks did influence their TN contents, but not for 1, 2 and 4 weeks. The treatments with sea urchin shell powder and feed additives had a significant (P < 0.05) influence on NH3-N in poultry litter compared with controls. However, at 4 weeks, no marked differences were observed in NH3-N contents among treatments. Treatments with 1% sea urchin shell powder might enhance the value of poultry litter as N fertilizer
