Manure decomposition is the natural breakdown of organic matter (animal waste, plant material) by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) into nutrient-rich compost, transforming complex compounds into simpler forms (CO2, water, mineral salts) that improve soil fertility, structure, water retention, and biodiversity, creating a slow-release fertilizer that supports plant growth and reduces reliance on synthetic inputs. The process involves heating (hot phase) to kill pathogens, turning for aeration, and results in a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling product, ready for use as a soil conditioner.Stages & Characteristics
Initial Heating (Hot Phase): Microbes break down material, generating heat (120-160F or 49-71C), killing weed seeds and pathogens.
Cooling & Settling: Temperatures drop as decomposition slows, indicating the process is working, with pH shifting from acidic to neutral.
Curing (Maturation): Final breakdown into stable compost, rich in humus, improving soil texture, drainage, and water retention.
Key Components
Microorganisms: Bacteria, fungi, and other soil organisms drive the breakdown.
Carbon & Nitrogen: A balance is crucial; animal manure (high N) needs carbon sources (straw, husks).
Moisture & Oxygen: Aerobic conditions (oxygen) are vital for efficient decomposition and temperature control.
