IA Baba, RA Patoo, IU Sheikh, M Shabir and Khetomo Semy
Poultry farm waste in the form of poultry carcass and poultry litter were utilized for this study. Different treatments were formulated with T1: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter, T2: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 1.0 percent T3: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 0.5 percent T4: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Yeast @ 1.0 percent T5: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Yeast @ 0.5 percent T6: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 1 percent + Yeast @ 0.5 percent T7: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 1 percent + Yeast @ 1 percent T8: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 0.5 percent + Yeast @ 0.5 percent T9: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 0.5 percent + Yeast @ 1 percent. During experimentation significantly (p<0.05) highest moisture content of 58.24 percent was observed in treatment group T2 during winter season. Significant (p<0.05) highest weight reduction of 7.9 percent was observed in treatment groups T4 and T5 during summer season. Similarly significantly (p<0.05) highest volume reduction of 4.70 percent was attained in treatment groups T7 during summer season. The C:N ratio of 20.25 observed was significantly (p<0.05) lowest in treatment group T2 during summer season. Significantly (p<0.05) highest total ash content of 46.50 percent was observed in treatment group T7 during winter season. Significantly highest (p<0.05) nitrogen content of 18.2 g/Kg, were observed respectively in treatment groups T5 summer season. Highest EC of 4.87±0.33 was observed in T2 group. Total ash content recorded was highest in T7 (45.63±0.71). It was concluded that product maturity was attained in the fermentation of poultry waste process in terms of different chemical physical and chemical changes.
