DETERMINATION, ORGANIC MATTER, TOTAL NITROGEN AND ELEMENTAL CONTENT OF COW DUNG

CHAPITRE ONE

INTRODUCTION STUDY BACKGROUND

There are wastes everywhere. These toxins are unsightly and have negative consequences on our health and the environment. Animal dung, for example, is an example of this waste.

Cow dung is a nuisance when it is simply dumped behind sidewalks, streets, or in an open field. When these objects degrade in situations like this, the manure is gone, but the microorganisms they transported are not. And we should not dismiss these organisms as minor inconveniences because they can harm our health, especially when they stick to our food, mix with the water we drink, or come into contact with our bare feet and hands.

The only way to avoid these problems is to properly breakdown these wastes and use them as plant fertilizer. This study wants to determine if this manure decomposes, if it can be a better fertilizer, and if it has a better influence on plant growth. (Carlo, 2007)

AIM/OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study is to determine the elemental content, total nitrogen, and organic matter of cow dung. The goal is to compare the values to other animal waste and advocate its use as manure.

THE STUDY’S SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This investigation is limited to cow dung. This research study does not involve urines or other cow components. Total nitrogen, organic matter, and macro minerals are all factors to consider. Because of time and financial constraints, only a few parameters were used in the analysis.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

This research will be useful to farmers since it will inform them that cow manure can be a superior substitute for the fertilizers they currently use.

1.5 DATA EXAMINATION

This work’s raw data will be examined using simple percentages, mean, and standard deviation.

DEFINITION OF CONNECTED TERMS
