How to monitor the PH in horse manure composting process?
It is worth measuring the PH of compost in horse manure composting systems. During the horse manure composting process, the aerobic microorganisms operate best under neutral to acidic conditions, with pH’s in the range of 5.5 to 8. During the primary stages of horse manure decomposition, organic acids are formed. The acidic conditions are favorable for growth of fungi and breakdown of lignin and cellulose. As composting proceeds, the organic acids become neutralized, and horse mature compost generally has a pH between 6 and 8. So, whether the compost PH is too high or too low, both are not benefit to the composting process. If the compost PH below 5.5, you can add lime or wood ash and mix them well. If the compost PH is too high and over 8, you need to add acid materials for better composting environment.

With SEEC horse manure composting machine, you can finish the compost work about 15-20 days. You can also speed the composting process by using the following composting tips in your horse manure composting systems:
Control the temperature by turning the compost piles
Compost needs to be hot enough to kill the undesirable factors, but overheating can kill many of the beneficial organisms needed for decomposition. Ideally the pile will reach temps of 120°F – 160°F for several weeks and then naturally cool down.
Adjust moisture in horse manure compost piles
The compost piles should not too soggy or too dry, which will cause it to smell and not decompose properly. If your horse manure has a high moisture content, dewatering machine can help you reduce it before composting.
Minimize the amount of bedding in the compost pile
Straw, wood chips, shavings or sawdust (all organic wastes are high in carbon) will slow down the composting process or even cause it not to complete. When added to soil, high-carbon compost can also cause nitrogen deficiency in plants and turn their leaves yellow
