Beyond Cow Dung: Sheep, Goat, Chicken Manure Revitalizes Barren Land
- •Agricultural experts advocate for sheep, goat, and chicken droppings as a potent organic fertilizer, surpassing traditional cow dung.
- •This manure is richer in essential nutrients like nitrogen (3%), phosphorus (1%), and potassium (2%), crucial for rapid crop growth and higher yields.
- •It enhances soil's water retention and provides long-term plant nutrition, making even barren land fertile again.
- •Preparation involves collecting droppings, layering with dry waste, sprinkling water, and allowing 40-60 days for decomposition.
- •Utilizing this organic manure reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, lowers farming costs, and boosts farmer income through increased production.
