Abstract: (7080 Views)
The purpose of this study was to look for carbon materials for composting with rabbit manure. Rabbit manure was composted with rice straw and mushroom residues. During the composting process, different related parameters were evaluated. Results showed that the rabbit manure could be normally co-composted with rice straw or with mushroom residues. The GI value showed that both composts could help seed growth. By comparing the effects of the two composts, the rabbit manure co-composted with rice straw had a much greater effect on improving seed growth. The results showed that co-composting rabbit manure with rice straw and mushroom residues was a much more efficient method to utilize the material. Rabbit manure mixed with rice straw has also been shown to compost much more efficiently than with mushroom residues.
