Why Treat Manure?

• Composting ensures that the manure is quickly dried and hygienated
  Decomposting transforms the digestate into compost.
• Valuable plant nutrients are not wasted and the compost created is
  homogeneous and suitable for storage. The lower moisture content
  and volume mean that the cost of transporting the compost to the
  plant is reduced considerably.
• Compost is a stabilised organic fertiliser with an average to high
  nutrient content which can be safely stored and easily spread.
• Compost releases the nutrients it contains slowly and evenly to the
  plants and has a positive influence on the humus balance

The usage of compost in the agricultural sector improves soil fertility
and reduces costs for mineral fertiliser.

Facts:

• The keeping of farm animals produces huge amounts of manure.

• The direct use of this manure as agricultural fertiliser is only possible between crop rotations.
• The storage of manure requires a lot of space and causes odour problems due to the high moisture content.
