Adjust C/N ratio before cow dung fermentation
C/N is the other factor affecting fertilizer composting. During cattle manure fermentation, it is better to be kept between 20:1 and 35:1. If the C/N is higher than 35:1, animal manure and sludge can help you reduce it. If it is lower than 20:1, you can use straw, wood dust and grass peat to rich carbon content of cow waste materials.
