How to make cow manure into quality organic fertilizer?
How to convert cow manure into powdery fertilizer?
System for converting organic waste into powdery fertilizer is the simplest cow manure fertilizer manufacturing line in YUSHUNXIN. Because the simple process, you can greatly reduce the costs of organic fertilizer equipment buying, factory rent and fuel. Thus, how to prepare cow dung manure into powder organic fertilizer? The complete steps are as follows:
If you want to make organic fertilizer from cow dung, the material is important. Fresh cow manure is better than the old. At the same time, you can add some leavening agents to improve fermentation efficiency. Usually, 1 ton of fresh cow dung with 0.25 kg of leavening agent is enough.
Under this humidity condition, materials can be fully fermented into stable humus with the help of aerobic bacteria. But If your organic materials contain too much water (especially for fresh cow dung), the acitivity of aerobic organism will be reduced. Here, our dewatering machine can help you remove the excess water quickly.
During this process, there is a high temperature generated. It can kill pest eggs, harmful bacteria and grass seeds in cow manure to make it harmless. In this case, our fertilizer composting equipment can help you a lot.
After composting, the cow dung materials will stick and agglomerate. So you need to use fertilizer crusher to grind them into fine powder. It will make your final fertilizer convient for storage and use.
In this process, screening machine will distinguish the fine powder from agglomerate and waste (such as cigarette butt, small stones). This screener usually has two outlet. One is for qualified powder cow dung fertilizer discharging, then conveyor belt will transport it to the next process. Another is for unqualified cattle manure fertilizer, it will be transported to crush again.
Packing the fertilizer product is the final step in commercial organic fertilizer production. For this, we can offer you automatic packaging scale for fast bagging.

How to make cow manure into organic fertilizer granules?
If you want to further improve the quality of your cow dung fertilizer, you can choose to process it into pellets. In this way, your cattle waste fertilizer is easier to transport, store and use. Organic fertilizer granulation line usually is based in the powder fertilizer making sysem. So besides the above steps, you also need processes as follows:
System for making organic fertilizer granules from cow dung
In order to enrich the nutrient content of your cowmanure fertulizer, you may need to add other materials. Such as staw, zinc, Iron, NPK, etc. At that time, you also need to use fertilizer mixer to mingle them with cattle manure evenly.
If you want to make your fertilizer sell better in the market, it is a good choice to make your fertilizer into pellets with fertilizer granulator machine. Because it can make organic fertilizer not easy to stick. So you can transport it easier and store it for a longer time.
After granulating, the moisture content of cattle droppings is about 15%- 20%. It doesn’t reach the standard of 14%. So you need to use rotary fertilizer dryer and cooler to further remove the moisture content.
Without coating, the cow manure fertilizer will absorb the water from the air after store for a long time. Then it will become easy to stick again. So fertilizer coating machine is also important for manufacturing high quality organic fertilizer out of cattle droppings.
Of course. The bio fertilizer making line is designed on the basis of cow dung organic fertilizer production line. Only need to add suitable functional bacteria timely. For this, we can provide you with professional cow dung bio fertilizer manufacturing line.

Why composting is the first step to convert cow dung into organic fertilizer?
If you want to process cow dung into organic fertilizer, composting is the first step. Without composting, you cannot use cow manure directly as fertilizer for the plants. Why? there are two reasons:
Fresh cow dung contains many harmful substances
Usually, fresh cow dung in the farm is the source of many kinds of bacterial pathogens. And it contains parasite eggs and disease-causing microbes. If you leave cattle manure alone on the farm, it will generate malodor to produce effects on breeding communities. In addition, if you use it directly as fertilizer for the plants. The fresh cow manure will compost naturally and produce lots of heat to burn the roots and seedlings. So, fresh cow manure is not truly organic fertilizer products.
Composting makes cattle waste harmless
But the composted cow dung is different. During the process of cow manure composting, the high heat will be generated and kill harmful bacteria, pest eggs and grass weeds. Moreover, after composting, the cattle droppings no longer stink and generate heat during use. So you don’t worry that it will burn plant roots. But it takes a long time to make the cow dung to decompose and ferment naturally, about 2-3 months. So you need some fertilizer composting machines to shorten this time. Only about 20 days.
What equipment can be used in cow manure composting？
When you want to start cow waste composting, you will find that there are many types of composting machine on the market. Then which is the most suitable one for you? In general, these fertilizer composters can be divided into three parts. Trench working compost turner, windrow compost turner and in-vessel fermentation tank. You can choose according to your needs.
Trench working compost turner for sale
Groove composting (or trench composting) is widely used in cattle breeding farms management. Using this method, you can compost cow waste in an easier way without waiting for natural decomposition. But only collecting cow manure and stacking them together in the trench is not groove composting. You need to turn the raw materials to make them fully fermented. For this, we recommend you to choose wheel type compost turner or groove type compost turner.
Wheel type compost turner
Wheel type compost turner is suitable for starting a large scale fermentation of cow manure with low cost. Because its turning width can reach 10-30m, and turning depth can reach 2m. So you don’t need to build too many trenches and reduce the cost on infrastructure projects. In addition, the double-wheel design can help you compost more quickly. And hydraulic lift design allows you to easily raise the wheel and quickly return the compost turner to the starting point to change slot. These operations can be remotely controlled, so you will spend less on the labor force.

If your budget on fertilizer composting equipment is not enough, you can choose groove type compost turner. It is suitable for the trench with a width of 3-6m. If you want to enlarge the fermentation scale of cow manure fertilizer, you only need to increase the number of grooves. We can provide you with the transfer vehicle to realize the multi-groove working. In the process of cow dung composting, it can keep the temperature of the materials between 65℃-70℃, the optimal temperature for fertilizer fermentation. So you can ferment and decompose the cow dung quickly.
If you don’t want to spend money on groove building, you can choose windrow compost turner, which can compost cow manure on the ground. Windrow composting is a good way for cattle farmers to make organic cow dung compost in their own farm. By paving the raw materials in long windrows and equipping a windrow compost turner, you will get organic cow manure compost within 20 days. If you’re afraid that rain will affect the quality of your compost, you can build a greenhouse to protect the windrows. In this case, SX can offer you crawler type compost turner and moving type compost turner for windrow composting.
Crawler type compost turner
When you want to buy an easier operated windrow compost turner for cow manure processing, we will recommend you crawler type composter. It doesn’t require the steering wheel, the driver simply controls two bars, then the machine can turn left or right, brake and 180 degrees turn around. And it adopts hydraulic balance technology, which make it can automatically raise and lower the height of compost turner shaft. So it can compost fertilizer piles at high speed according to the moisture degree of the material. In addition, it is equipped with soft start turning clutch, which can reduce the damage to chain, bearings and shaft. And front hydraulic push plate design can greatly save the space, time, diesel, manpower and shorten the cattle litter fermentation period.
Crawler type windrow fertilizer composting machine
But if you need a more flexible windrow compost turning machine, you can buy moving type compost turner. It adopts four wheel walking design, which can move forward, backward and turn freely. And it only needs one worker to operate. During the cow manure fermentation process, the machine rides astride above the pre-piled strip fertilizer bases. Then the rotary blades mounted on the shaft will mix, fluffy and move the strip fertilizer bases along with the movement of the moving type compost turner. So that makes the fertilizer bases forming into new strip stacks. This can effectively and evenly mix the viscous cow manure with straw powder and other materials, so that creates a better aerobic environment for cow dung fermentation.

How to choose right equipment for making cow dung compost into granules?
If you want to improve the quality of your cow manure fertilizer, making it into granules is an excellent choice for you. After granulation, the contact area between cow dung fertilizer and air will become smaller, so it is not easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate. Therefore, it is more convenient for transport and storage. In addition, the granular fertilizer is less likely to be blown away by the wind, so the utilization rate of your cow manure fertilizer is higher. There are various cow manure granulating machines in SX for your choice. Among them, disc granulator and rotary drum pelletizer are popular with cow dung fertilizer manufacturers.
Disc granulator machine for small scale cow dung fertilizer granulation
If you need a granulator to make cattle litter fertilizer in a small scale, pan granulating machine is an excellent choice for you. It can produce 1-6 tons of fertilizer per hour. So it is suitable for you, if your ideal annual output is below 40,000 tons. And another reason why the pan pelletizer is so popular is that it has a high granulating rate. The granulating rate of pan granulator can reach 93%. It means you can get more fertilizer pellets with the same amount of materials. Moreover, the pan granulation machie is also an ecnomical option for you. It is made of high quality alloy steel, which has a high performance in corrosion resistence. And compared with other pelletizers for cow dung processing, it has a more favourable price. Therefore, if you want to turn cattle litter into granules at a low cost, we commend you choose it.

Can 1 ton of cow dung prepare 1ton of organic fertilizer? Of course not. Because fresh cow manure is usually a mixture of solid and liquid. But in general, organic fertilizer making material only contains the solid in cow litter. And studies have shown that liquid in cattle feces generally accounts for 1/3 of the whole. Therefore, it will take about 3 tons of fresh cow dung to manufacture 1 ton of organic fertilizer. However, if you want to add other materials during cow manure fertilizer preparation, this proportion might decrease a bit.
If you want to manufacture high quality organic fertilizer from cow dung. It is essential to keep a proper moisture content of manure. At 50%-60% is the best. There are some tips can help you adjust the moisture content of your materials.
How to increase the water content of dry cow manure?
If you use dried cow dung to make organic fertilizer, there are two choices for you to increase its moisture content. First, you can add some water directly during the composting process. Second, you can mix it with fresh cow waste to balance its moisture content.
How to remove excessive water from fresh cow dung? If your raw material for composting is fresh cow dung, you need to adjust the water content before compost production operations. Because the water content of fresh cow dung is too high (generally up to 85%), which is not suitable for hot composting. So you’d better remove some moisture as appropriate. There are two methods for you to adjust the water content. The first one, you can add some accessory materials to absorb the excess water from fresh cow manure. For example, sawdust, straw, peanut hulls, grass ash carbon and so on. For the another one, you can use manure dewatering machine to remove the water quickly.
In general, you need to control the moisture content of the cow manure at about 60% before fermenting. When you hold them in the hand, you can feel they are wet. And when you release your hand, it cannot drip from the fingers.
With the rapid development of the cattle industry, manure pollution has become a major problem for the manager. Even in some places, cattle manure pollution is more sercious than industrial pollution. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to the treatment of cow manure. Especially in the places where cattle are concentrated breeding. Then how to manage the large amount of cow manure? There is an excellent solution for you. That is: Converting it into organic fertilizer!
