Cultivation of worms on a substrate containing poultry droppings fermented with addition of biodestructors

Significant accumulations of poultry droppings near large enterprises are a problem both in Ukraine and abroad. An urgent issue is the search for rational methods disposal these wastes with involvement natural, ecologically safe such as composting use microorganisms vermiculture. The during fermentation broiler chicken litter (in form sawdust non-coniferous trees) leads to reduction time preparation organic biomass However, it scientific practical interest establish effectiveness growing worms on substrate containing fermented various doses microorganism preparations compared option where were traditional way 18 months. During research, 4 groups formed micro-beds each. weight compost volume identical. In control version, contained 92.0 % (by weight) manure months 8.0 shredded wheat straw. experimental micro-beds, ratio straw was identical by mass, however, 180 days using 143, 1430 2860 mg bio-destructors per ton biomass. influence number sexually mature immature worms, their mass laid cocoons studied 100 days. content protein, biotic metals, toxic metals vermiculture studied. It proven experimentally that inclusion amount mg/t an increase micro-bed 45.5 29.3 respectively, 63.9 56.7 relatively Cultivation (III group) makes possible obtain 41.4 more 17.1 group. grown highest dose probably did not differ metals. Key words: worm cocoons, bio-destructors, vermiculture, compost.
