The demand of poultry products like egg, meat and value added products are increasingandto meet the demand their production has seenincreasing trend. The biowaste generated from the sector is a concernbecause highly nutrient rich manure has a great impact on the environmental pollution. Properly managed poultry manureacts as a very good source of nutrients for plants. Composting is one of the methods used and among these, forced aeration helps to improve the manurial value of compost. Carbon, nitrogen, pH and the C:N ratio are the important parametersof concern before applying manure into agricultural land.The present study on poultry manure co-composted with left over fodder has a great impact in reducing the pH and C/N ratio into ideal range.
Keywords: Poultry manure, forced aeration, manurial value
