The great amount of waste discharged by the booming livestock industry in China and the defects of conventional soilless substrates both have led toPOST http://www.konferensverktyg.com/dotntes as an available alternative to abate the serious livestock waste pollution. However, few researches so far are pertinent to it. In this paper, the appropriate proportion of swine manure in composting organic substrates was studied in a 4-treatment experiment with a control using the same bulking agent (wood shavings mixed with 5% tea leaves and 5% herb residues). In 100.5l lab vessels, the swine manure was composted respectively at 20%, 30%, 40% in the trials and 30% lake silt corrected by 0.5% urea in the control. The initial humidity level of each treatment was 60Â±2%. While being aerated actively at approximately 0.3m3/min at intervals of 10min/hr, the mixture was composed for 29 days. Composting temperature, moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, total N, total P and total porosity of each treatment were measured to analyze their evolution. With reference to the chosen substrates, the results indicate that 30% swine manure with initial C/N ratio of about 40 is more desirable for composting organic substrates.
