animal waste as fertilizer
Effect of Animal waste as a fertilizer for making the soil development
INTRODUCTION
Our country is an agricultural land. That’s why farmers here in our country, agriculturist and scientist discover a lot of ideas on how to improve or to develop a better agricultural land. For this research, this topic is all about animal waste of animals is use as an alternative fertility of soil development.
Fertilizer is any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Animal waste is a common source of organic fertilizer. Animal waste or what we called shortly as manure is organic matter used as organic fertilizer in agriculture. Feces of cows, carabao, and horse are the common sources of animal waste that is use for making fertilizer.
This topic is about how effective this animal waste as fertilizer to soil development and it also presents the method on how the animal waste becomes a fertilizer. This topic want to know why or what is inside of the animal waste/ manure that make the soil development good.

OBJECTIVES
To present the process on how wastes of animals become fertilizer to soil.
To study the what chemical organism of the waste have that makes the development of the soil.
To prove the effectiveness of manure in soil development.

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Introduction
Philippine has been noted to be an agricultural country for the past years and has continually encouraging the appreciation for agricultural economy. Agricultural economy includes the production of healthy foods of which the government gave emphasis through organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer performs a huge role in the efficiency and effectiveness in the production of food products in the country thus the government continuously finds ways to boost the organic fertilizer production in the country. Recently, the government agricultural sector found a new way of

    The manure waste of the animals often is not hastily removed and thus the densely populated animals become covered in their own waste causing disease and often contaminating the animal products. When removed the manure waste becomes mixed with the urine waste and is collected in large holding tanks. These tanks frequently leak and contaminate the water systems of local communities and businesses (Farm Animal Cruelty, 2015). The use of free range agriculture removes the need for waste holding tanks by allowing the animals to distribute their waste through their pasture land. This waste in tern becomes fertilizer for the plants that feed the animals. This system eliminates any significant potential water contamination and reduces the need for artificial ammonia based…

    Composting

    The animal waste and kitchen waste including some amount of leaves were mixed into the compost heap. Addition of daily generated waste was done in the same heap. Overturning of the compost pile was done in every 3 months for smooth decomposition. At the simplest level, the process of composting simply requires making a heap of wetted organic matter (leaves, "green" food waste, dung etc.) and waiting for the materials to break down into humus after a period of weeks or months. Modern, methodical composting is a multi-step, closely monitored process with measured inputs of water, air, and carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter, adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture. Worms and fungi further break up the material. Aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium. The ammonium is further converted by bacteria into plant-nourishing nitrites and nitrates through the process of nitrification.…

    The pollution from animal waste causes respiratory problems, skin infections, nausea, depression, and even death for people who live near factory farms. Animals are closer to us humans, more than we are willing to amint. Even with that fact realized we have been treating our own livestock with such poor circumstances. Justice needs to be in act to prevent today’s current circumstance to continue. Without the livestock we have nothing therefore we should respect them as if we knew the fact was true.…

    Fertilizers are the protein supplements for your plants. Fertilizers are used to enrich the soil with nutrients that it does not inherently have. Fertilizers should be used strictly as a deficiency-buster. Excessive use of different types of fertilizers kills the naturally present ingredients in soil too. Organic fertilizers are made from naturally occurring substances, and include by-products or waste remains of the animals. Dead plants and dead animals cadaver are also often used as fertilizers in organic farming. They are naturally chemical-rich and contain high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. On the other hand, the main difference between a chemical fertilizer and an organic fertilizer is that the chemical fertilizer comes out of a lab and the organic fertilizer comes from living beings. A chemical fertilizer is synthetically prepared to include the vital nutrients that are necessary for the plant growth process. All chemical fertilizers contain the normal NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) requirement and any other nutrients as required.…

    Time and again farmers, plant growers, and backyard owners of vegetable garden have been complaining of rising cost of inorganic fertilizers such as complete and Urea. The result is that they disregard the use of these fertilizers and left their plants without it. In the end, the result is low produce and their plants are malnourished and worst less fruit. This Science Investigatory Project (SIP) entitled “Left-Over Rice: A Cheap and Practical Compost Enhancer for 28-32 days” was conducted in order to answer the problems of the farmers and plant growers. With this project, we used left-over rice from the canteens and from our households. Other materials were vegetable trimmings, fruit peelings like banana in which we got from wet markets. This Project is very useful to the community in general because they can make use of their biodegradable waste into productive use such as compost. On the other hand, compost are cheap and environment friendly organic fertilizers which can make the plants grow healthy as well as the soil fertile. The biodegradable waste such as rice instead of throwing them away can be made useful. In the end, this project will be a solution to the problem on poverty and hunger. The increase in farm output will effect additional income to the farmers. The abundant farm output can solve the problem in hunger. The community as well, can sell this compost, thereby augmenting also their household income.…

    Agriculture is the most primitive occupation of the people which mainly needs land to grow different crops for food and as raw materials for different industries. Industrial use of agriculture for supplying raw materials came much later. Originally land was used for agriculture to supply food for human beings by the use of organic manures particularly animal dung. At the beginning land was used in its natural form to grow food. Land contains natural humus that supplies nutrients for crop. But people began to think that natural fertility of land cannot supply sufficient food crops for human to survive. This belief became concrete when Thomas Robert Malthus wrote in 1798 that population grows at a faster rate than the growth of food by the famous quote, “food grows at arithmetic progression and population grows at geometric progression.” As we cannot survive without food; so we have to grow more food to feed the fast growing population. To grow more food we have to add plant nutrition and research on plant nutrition began perhaps in 19th century after the publication of Malthusian Theory. In the 19th century a German chemist Justus von Liebig started the modern science of plant nutrition denouncing the vitalist theory of humus. For the first time he argued the importance of ammonia and in later course tried to promote the idea of using inorganic minerals to plant nutrition. Thus the concept of using fertilizer began and different types of inorganic fertilizer are manufactured and in this manner Erling Johnson in 1927 developed an industrial method of producing nitrophosphate.During the 19th century in England fertilizer companies were established and commercial production of inorganic fertilizer began and the debate on uses of organic versus inorganic was also started. In India widespread use of inorganic fertilizer began in 1968 which ushered a Green Revolution by large production of wheat using High…
