The dairy industry in Saudi Arabia is producing huge quantity of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) resulting in potential environmental and health hazards. Raw FYM is processed into usable compost for increasing soil fertility and productivity. The main aim of this study was to analyze the effect of prepared Cow Manure Compost (CMC) on chemical and microbiological soil properties.
