Enhancement of Nutrients in Poultry Excreta through Formulated Microbial Consortium along with Bio Fertilizer Microorganisms

The present investigation deals with efficiency of the formulated microbial consortium on poultry excreta to enhance the macronutrient levels. In this context we have purchased selective strains of microbes from MTCC which effectively treat and enhance the nutrients level in manure. Usage of specific microbes could prove potential means of degrading some such complex environmental pollutants converts into available macronutrients through treatment. The poultry excreta were treated as such in the bare layer shed after shifted birds from the cages. The first shed was called control. There will be no treatment only sprayed chlorine free water to maintain the proper moisture level (30-35%). In the second shed was treated with formulated microbial consortium, first week alone sprayed the consortium then weekly once sprayed chlorine free water to maintain proper moisture, in the third shed was treated with formulated microbial consortium together with biofertilizer microbes, first week sprayed formulated microbial consortium after fifteen days biofertilizer microbes had been sprayed and the rest of the weeks chlorine free water was sprayed to maintain the proper moisture level. After treatment physico chemical parameters had been analysed to evaluate the performance of the microbial consortium. The physico chemical analysis proved that the nutrients level was increased in the third poultry shed. Meanwhile, the composting time considerably decreased which increased the hope to treat poultry excreta effectively. The results showed significant (p<0.05) differences within the amount of major total and available NPK levels.
