Hello house,

although there is where we normally get dry chicken manures for 50kg bag at 800 naira,

but i want to learn the process of decomposing and making my own dry chicken manure,

but the thing is i dont really know how many days, weeks or even months it will be dried enough to be used.

I need alternative so as to stop buying any more dry poultry manure since a chicken farm is not that far from my location,

but i want to know does it really take time to be dried or should i just better go and buy the already dried once been sold 800 naira per bag?

I need honest opinions from anyone that has gone through this before

thanks

Normally following a good decomposing process that I know of, it should take not more than 2 weeks for the wet compost to become completely dried up, but other major factors which I believe will also contribute to make that happen includes:

- little access to sunlight - not directly exposed to Sun though

-.the wet compost should be exposed very well to house-files and these will produce enough maggots which will aid the breaking down of the wet compost fast.

so you mean it needs to undergo some time and processing before it is finally been used in the farm,

its better i still buy it from those people selling it than all this stress,

anyways thanks for the reply
cheers

The price at which u buy is quite high. Find somewhere else. A cement bag of manure is N100.:
.
I raise poultry and I don't bother to dry the manure. I just bag it and store and it will dry there. No big deal.

hmm thanks for this,

although i have been seeing people use dry chicken manure on their farms and i only imagine they gets dried in the sun and then aplied to plants later on

Buying at that price will eat deep into ur profit. Better take time and find a very large poultry farm closest to u and buy from there. Such farms will sell cheap because they want to dispose the manure fast. U can also look for pig farms or cattle slaughter markets.
