How to process chicken manure into powder organic fertilizer?

When you want to make chicken manure into organic fertilizer in a simple way, we recommend you turn it into powder fertilizer. And a complete powdery organic fertilizer production system usually contains the following steps:

In this process, the agglomerated chicken dung will be broken into fine powder. So chicken droppings have a large contact area with oxygen, which is beneficial for better aerobic fermentation. Moreover, the finer the chicken dung powder, the more smooth the final organic fertilizer granule appearance.
Composting, which is also known as fermentation, is a process of killing harmful bacteria, pest eggs and grass weeds in chicken droppings. After composting, chicken manure will no longer be harmful and smelly. And we can offer you professional compost machines to create a suitable environment for better chicken manure fermentation.
Screening is the key process for distinguishing qualified powder fertilizer from unqualified. And the unqualified chicken dung powder will be returned to re-crush. This can greatly reduce the waste of materials.
After packaging, the finished fertilizer is convenient to store and transport. And you can pack them into bags with different volumes, which can meet the different needs of your customers.
