Physicochemical Characterization Of Vermicompost From Chicken Waste Using Eudrilus Eugeniae

Earthworms as one of the most significant organisms in bio-degradation convert raw organic waste into nutritive humus and the present study has used chicken waste which had been made to degrade through vermicompost by Eudrilus eugeniae with cowdung. The composts were analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters and the results showed significant difference in the gradual increase of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium value, thereby revealing that treatment of chicken waste for production of vermicompost would be an effective method for maximum utilization of organic waste.
