본 연구에서는 물리, 화학, 생물적 처리과정 중 서로 다른 용량의 퇴비가 농촌쓰레기처리공정에서의 수치를 검측하였다. 그 결과, 농촌쓰레기의 5‰ EM 해결시, 지렁이의 생장에 유익했고 34일이 지나면 예비 비료화가 되고, 35일에는 벌레가 자랐다. 5‰ EM 처리 샘플의 C/N비, NH4+-N농도, 활성화 우레아제, 섬유소와 삭카라아제는 다른 그룹보다 낮았지만 NO3-N 농도는 다른 그룹보다 선명하게 높았다.

he present study was conducted to provide basic data for efficient vermicomposting of swine manure by investigatingthe effect of rice hull mix on growth and reproduction of earthworms, amount of earthworm cast produced, and its chemicalcomposition when mixing swine manure in different levels (0 (SRH0), 10 (SRH10), 20 (SRH20), 30 (SRH30), and 40%(SRH40)) with rice hull commonly used as a bulking agent for facilitation in manure composting. The C/N ratio of thefeed was 10.19-13.95 and increased with higher level of rice hull mixed, and the survival rate of earthworms during theexperiment period was 35.2-99.2%. The biomass growth rate of earthworms was significantly higher in the SRH30 andSRH40 treatments than others (p<0.05), and young worms were not found in any treatments, but the number of cocoonswas 7.4 in the SRH40 treatment. The production of earthworm cast and digested amount were higher with the higherlevel of mixed rice hull (p<0.05), and the C/N ratio of cast increased with the mixed rice hull ratio, being significantlyhigher ratio in SRH40 than other treatments (p<0.05). Among heavy metals, the copper content tended to decrease withthe mixed rice hull level. To summarize, the higher level of mixed rice hull was associated with improvement in growth,reproduction, and cast production of earthworms, and 30-40% rice hull mix in particular could result in efficientvermicomposting.

본 시험에서는 가축분의 퇴비화에 수분조절제로서 사용되는 bulking agent 중 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 톱밥을 수준별(0(SSD0), 10(SSD10), 20(SSD20), 30(SSD30) 및 40%(SSD40))로 돈분과 혼합한 다음 지렁이 먹이로 이용하였을 때, 지렁이 생육과 증식에 미치는 영향과 지렁이 분립의 생산량 및 화학적 조성을 조사하여 돈분의 효율적인 vermicomposting의 기초자료로 이용하고자 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 탄질율과 지렁이 생존율은 SSD0구가 각각 10.19와 35.2%이었으나, 톱밥 혼합수준이 증가함에 따라 탄질율은 11.09~16.44로 높아졌으며, 실험기간 동안 지렁이의 생존율은 35.2~100%로 나타났다. 산자수는 SSD40구에서 16.6 마리로 나타났으며, SSD0구 및 톱밥을 30% 이하 첨가구에서는 새끼 지렁이가 나타나지 않았다. 난포수와 난포중은 SSD30과 SSD40구가 각각 23.8~59.8개와 256~660mg의 범위로 나타났다. 지렁이 분립생산과 소화량은 톱밥 혼합수준이 높을수록 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 분립의 탄질율은 톱밥 혼합수준이 높을수록 높아져 SSD30과 SSD40구가 다른구 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 중금속 함량은 톱밥 혼합수준이 높을수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 돈분에 톱밥 혼합수준이 높을수록 지렁이의 생육과 증식이 향상되었으며, 특히 톱밥 30~40% 혼합 시에 돈분의 효율적인 vermicomposting을 기대할 수 있었다.

This research was made to determine the optimum mixing ratio cattle manure and food waste investigating the effect that gets the growth and reproductive efficiency of earthworm and productivity of earthworm casts at processing process when handled cattle manure and food waste by vermicom󰠏posting, in order to establish the treatment system of organic wastes by vermicomposting. Survival ratio of earthworm was highest in the mixing ratio 80~100%：20~0% of cattle manure and food Waste, and the increasing ratio was highest in cattle manure 100%, and the number of young worms, the weight of young worms and the productivity of earthworm casts in plots more than the mixing ratio 60% of cattle manure were significantly higher than in the other treatment plots(p＜0.05). Total nitrogen and carbon contents in earthworm cast were decreased when rearing time of earthworm was increased. Carbon and nitrogen rate(C/N) of earthworm cast in plots more than the mixing ratio 80% of cattle manure was significantly higher than in the other treatment plots(p＜0.05). pH in earthworm cast was higher than that in residual matter. The contents of electrolytic conductivity in the higher mixing ratio of food waste were significantly higher than those in the other treatment plots(p＜0.05).
