7 0 COMPOST – 7.12 – ANIMAL MANURE

 

Depending on whether animals are kept in stables or not (part or full time), farmyard manure consists of animal excreta and bedding material (usually straw or grass). Farmyard manure is extremely valuable organic manure.

Some characteristics and effects of farmyard manure: It contains large amounts of nutrients:

Only part of the nitrogen content of manure is directly available to plants, while the remaining part is released as the manure decomposes. The nitrogen in animal urine is available in the short-term.

When dung and urine are mixed, they form a well-balanced source of nutrients for plants. The availability of phosphorus and potassium from farmyard manure is like that from chemical fertilizers. Chicken manure is rich in phosphorus. However, it is important to be aware of the origin of the manure, as chicken manure from conventional farms is contaminated by heavy metals.

Organic manures contribute to the build-up of soil organic matter and thus improve soil fertility.

7 0 MBOLEA – 7.12 – MADHI YA WANYAMA

 

Kutegemea kama wanyama wanatunzwa kwenye mazizi au la (sehemu au muda wote), samadi ya shambani huwa na kinyesi cha wanyama na nyenzo za matandiko (kawaida majani au nyasi). Mbolea ya shamba ni mbolea ya kikaboni yenye thamani kubwa sana.

Baadhi ya sifa na athari za samadi ya shambani: Ina kiasi kikubwa cha virutubisho:

Sehemu tu ya maudhui ya nitrojeni ya mbolea hupatikana moja kwa moja kwa mimea, wakati sehemu iliyobaki hutolewa wakati mbolea inaharibika. Nitrojeni katika mkojo wa wanyama inapatikana kwa muda mfupi.

Wakati kinyesi na mkojo vinachanganywa, huunda chanzo cha usawa cha virutubisho kwa mimea. Upatikanaji wa fosforasi na potasiamu kutoka kwa samadi ya shamba ni kama hiyo kutoka kwa mbolea za kemikali. Mbolea ya kuku ina fosforasi nyingi. Hata hivyo, ni muhimu kufahamu asili ya samadi, kwani samadi ya kuku kutoka kwenye mashamba ya kawaida huchafuliwa na metali nzito.

Mbolea za kikaboni huchangia katika mrundikano wa mabaki ya viumbe hai kwenye udongo na hivyo kuboresha rutuba ya udongo.
