Turning manure is essential to composting manure. Turning compost incorporates oxygen into the system, homogenizes the pile and breaks up clumps. Turning allows more contact of manure with microbes. Producers have various ways to turn the pile. The two most common methods for turning compost are with a windrow turner (Figure 7) or bucket tractor.
The products of composting facilities provide numerous environmental benefits. The use of compost, when incorporated into soil, can improve soil tilth and fertility; it can provide a more stable form of nitrogen less susceptible to leaching into water supplies. Compost also helps reduce compaction and increases infiltration.
Livestock and husbandry manure compost tank Organic waste such as poultry manure and animal carcasses such as chicken, pig, cow and sheep manure can be processed and turned into usable organic fertilizer
