Influences of Mixing Frequency on the Composting Performance of the Broiler and Dairy Manure Mixtures

퇴비재료의 교반빈도가 육계분과 유우분 혼합물 퇴비화 성능에 미치는 영향

Broiler manure has much nutrient that can be used as the organic fertilizer to enhance the fertility of soil. However, if it is used directly without biodegradation of organic materials and destruction of weed seed and harmful bacteria, it can produce the generation of weed and disease of plant. Composting of manure is a biodegradation of organic materials into inorganic materials and humus. To proceed biodegradation of manure effectively and enhance the composting performance, optimum environmental condition for microbial growing should be maintained. Environmental variables which can influence the growing activity of microbes are moisture content, pH, porosity, C/N of the composting materials and oxygen supply quantity. Oxygen and porosity are usually supplied by aeration or mixing of materials. This study was intended to investigate the effect of mixing frequency on the composting performance. Mixing of composting materials was performed by turning the bioreactor up and down by hand without any mechanical energy. The broiler manure was captured from the greenhouse type broiler ham as the compounds of broiler manure and rice-hulls, which were used as the base materials. To compost the compounds of broiler manure and rice-hulls, dairy manure was mixed to get appropriate characteristics of composting material. Composting temperature over $55^{\circ}C$ for killing pathogen and weed seed was maintained for longer period with increase of mixing frequency.

2중필름 온실계사에서 육계를 사육하였을 때 발생하는 계분을 처리할 수 있는 수동 교반형 퇴비화시스템을 개발하였으며, 교반빈도가 퇴비화 온도에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 병원균 사멸에 필요한 $55^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도를 유지한 기간은 무교반에서 88시간 1회/4일의 교반에서는 179 시간, 1회/2일의 교반에서는 200 시간으로 교반회수가 빈번할수록 그 기간이 길어지는 것으로 나타났다.
