Compost pelletization eases end use in Nigeria

Article Abstract:

Compost pelletization is used in Nigeria to reduce the volume and increase nutrient retention in compost made from poultry waste. Pelletization reduces problems related to storage and uneconomical transport of conventional compost. The composting process is 12 weeks long, requires water and turnings, temperature monitoring, and analyses of samples. The final compost is air dried, ground, sieved and, finally, passed through a pelletization machine. Compost blended with clay is ideal for pelletization and retains nutrients for a long time.
