With the development of poultry farming, the problem of utilizing poultry manure is becoming more and more relevant. Manure is a source of strong environmental pollution (soil, groundwater, atmospheric air); it negatively affects human health and gene pool. At the same time, manure is one of the best organic fertilizers, containing a large amount of nutrients necessary for the growth and development of plants. The article discusses the most economical and environmentally friendly biotechnological methods of manure processing, namely, processing by effective microorganisms. The article presents the technology of accelerated manure composting; it was carried out in the natural and climatic conditions of the Novgorod region and resulted in obtaining two types of products: loose and granular compost. The conditions of the composting process in the spring-summer and autumn-winter periods have been analyzed. The authors dwell upon the requirements for using compost when growing crops.
