Goat manure has significantly higher nutrient content than other livestock manures. Studies show that goat manure contains 24% to 27% organic matter, 0.7% to 0.8% nitrogen, 0.45% to 0.6% phosphorus, and 0.4% to 0.5% potassium. These values are all higher than those of cow and pig manure. More importantly, nutrients in goat manure are more easily absorbed and utilized by crops.
The physical properties of goat manure also make it an ideal raw material for organic fertilizer. Goat manure is granular with low moisture content, making it easier to undergo fermentation processing. Compared to pig manure, goat manure does not require complex wet-dry separation processes; compared to cow manure, goat manure decomposes faster, with shorter fermentation cycles.
However, converting goat manure into efficient organic fertilizer requires scientific fermentation methods.
During the fermentation process using a fermentation compost turning machine, organic matter in the goat manure is decomposed by microorganisms, releasing nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. At the same time, the fermentation process produces a large amount of beneficial microorganisms that further improve soil quality.
It should be noted that raw goat manure contains pathogens, pest eggs, and weed seeds. Direct application can cause diseases, pests, and weed problems. Only after fermentation and maturation can it be used as a base fertilizer for crops. Additionally, slow release of nutrients is a common characteristic of farmyard manure. Although rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients, the nutrient transformation and release are relatively slow. Therefore, it is mainly used for soil improvement, increasing organic matter content in the soil, serving only as a base fertilizer, and must be combined with chemical fertilizers to meet the nutrient requirements of crop growth.
Moreover, heat released during the fermentation of goat manure can scorch plant roots, causing poor growth and development in mild cases or death in severe cases. Therefore, it is essential to fully mature goat manure using equipment such as a fertilizer crusher, a fertilizer mixer, and a fermentation compost turning machine. The necessary condition for using goat manure is a maturation degree of over 80%, preferably reaching 100% maturation.
In summary, goat manure organic fertilizer, as an efficient and environmentally friendly fertilizer, is playing an increasingly important role in modern agriculture. Through scientific fermentation methods, we can fully utilize the potential of goat manure, contributing to sustainable agricultural development. In the future, as technology advances and people's awareness of organic agriculture increases, the application prospects for goat manure organic fertilizer will be even broader.
