In general, a cow produces 30 kg of manure a day, a sheep generates 3 kg of manure per day and a pig produces 8kg a day. The customer from South Africa has 1000 cows, 2500 sheep and 600 pigs in the farms. Therefore, they will produce about 42 tons of fresh animal manure a day. Then how many tons of organic fertilizer can you make from these 42 tons of animal waste? Considering that fresh manure is a mixture of water and solids and usually moisture content is 1/3. So you can get 14 tons of organic fertilizer at least after aerobic composting.
