The UK has a temperate marine climate. There is no severe cold, no extreme heat, but uniform precipitation. Therefore, it is suitable for the growth of pastures and the development of animal husbandry. But as the development of animal husbandry, animal manure management is also an item you must focus on. Because animal manure contains many harmful bacteria and pest eggs, which will affect the health of animals and humans. For this, composting animal litter is a good solution. On 25th August 2022, a customer from the U.K. inquired about how to make manure compost. He wanted to dispose of cow manure in the farm. Then after discussing the details, we recommend him wheel type compost turner. The following are the specific details of communication in this case:
In general, cow dung is a mixture of solid manure and urine, the same as cattle manure provided by this British client. But too high moisture content will impact on the fermentation effect. So you need to separate the solid from liquid before cattle manure composting. Then is there equipment designed for it? Of course, we can provide you with professional manure dewatering machine. It contains screw dewatering machine and inclined screen solid-liquid separator. If the solid content of cow droppings is high, we recommend you choose screw dewatering machine. It can reduce the moisture content of cattle manure to 30%. But if not, inclined screen solid-liquid separator is more suitable for you.
Which fertilizer compost equipment is suitable for you?
Compost machine plays an important role in cow dung fermentation and organic fertilizer production. In SX, there are various fertilizer compost machines for your choice.

What you need to focus on during animal manure compost?
This Britain customer wanted to make cow manure compost but didn’t know how to do it better. Here, besides right compost machine selection, you can pay attention to items as follows:
Temperature
Aerobic fermentation mainly makes use of heat released by microbial activity to kill harmful bacteria, eggs and grass seeds in cow dung. So temperature controlling is essential for cow litter fermentation. And the most suitable temperature for cow dung compost is 65℃-70℃. In this case, SX compost turner can make cow manure fully contact with oxygen to support microbial activity.
Moisture content
As mentioned above, fresh cow dung usually has high moisture content. But it will inhabit microbial activity and influence cow dung compost effect. Before composting, it is advisable to keep water content below 65%. For this, besides using fertilizer dewatering machine , you also can utilize dry organic waste to balance moisture content of cow dung. Such as straw, sawdust, corn cob, etc.
C/N
C/N is the other factor affecting fertilizer compost. 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.

Materials for C/N ratio adjustment
The above are details about our communication with the customer from the U.K.. If you want to make animal manure compost into organic fertilizer, except organic fertilizer compost equipment, we also can provide you with many other equipment to help you.
