Under the background of pursuing sustainability in today’s agricultural development, ecological farming, as a farming method that takes into account both ecological balance and economic benefits, is gradually becoming the mainstream trend of industry development. The organic fertilizer composting machine plays an indispensable role in ecological farming. It effectively solves the key problems of fertilizer demand and waste treatment in ecological farming.

1. Composting machine is in line with the characteristics of ecological farming

① Focus on ecological balance and resource recycling

Ecological farming pays great attention to the balance of the ecosystem and pursues the maximum recycling of resources. The organic fertilizer composting machine can efficiently process organic waste such as livestock and poultry manure and convert it into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. This process not only avoids the pollution of waste to the environment, but also realizes the reuse of resources, which is highly consistent with the concept of ecological farming. For example, in some ecological farming farms, through the reasonable configuration of organic fertilizer composting machines, the manure produced by the farm is collected and fermented in time, and the produced organic fertilizer can be directly used for crop planting around the breeding area, forming an organic ecological circulation system.

② Requirements for breeding environment and product quality

Ecological breeding has strict requirements for breeding environment and product quality. During the operation of the organic fertilizer composting machine, it can effectively kill pathogens and parasite eggs in livestock and poultry manure, reduce the risk of disease transmission, and thus improve the breeding environment. At the same time, the organic fertilizer produced by the composting machine provides a better source of feed for farmed animals, which helps to improve the quality of farmed products. For example, the fermented organic fertilizer is used to grow feed crops for farmed animals, which can make the feed crops grow healthier, and then provide more nutritious food for farmed animals, improving the quality and taste of farmed products.

2. Application mode of composting machine

① Livestock and poultry manure treatment and fertilizer conversion

Organic fertilizer composting machine plays a core role in livestock and poultry manure treatment and fertilizer conversion. Through advanced fermentation technology, the composting machine can control conditions such as temperature, humidity and ventilation to accelerate the decomposition and composting process of organic matter in manure. In this process, the macromolecular organic matter in the manure is decomposed into small molecular nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., forming high-quality organic fertilizer. Generally speaking, livestock and poultry manure treated by organic fertilizer composting machines can be converted into organic fertilizer that can be used directly within a few weeks, greatly improving the production efficiency of fertilizers.

②Synergistic model with breeding production

The organic fertilizer composting machine has formed a good synergistic model with breeding production. On the one hand, the livestock and poultry manure produced by breeding production provides a rich source of raw materials for the composting machine; on the other hand, the organic fertilizer produced by the composting machine can be used for soil improvement and crop planting in the breeding area, providing high-quality feed for breeding animals. This synergistic model not only reduces the discharge of breeding waste, but also reduces breeding costs and improves the economic benefits of breeding production. For example, some large-scale ecological breeding enterprises closely combine organic fertilizer composting machines with breeding areas to achieve the integrated operation of breeding production and fertilizer production.

3. Analysis of the application effect of composting machines

①Improvement of breeding environment

After using organic fertilizer composting machines, the breeding environment has been significantly improved. Because the composting machine effectively treats livestock and poultry manure, it reduces the odor and harmful gas emissions generated by manure accumulation, and reduces air pollution in the breeding area. At the same time, the composting machine kills pathogens and parasite eggs in the manure, reduces the transmission route of the disease, and ensures the healthy growth of breeding animals.

②Reduction of breeding costs and improvement of benefits

The application of organic fertilizer composting machines has also brought about a reduction in breeding costs and an improvement in benefits. By converting livestock and poultry manure into organic fertilizer, the cost of purchasing chemical fertilizers is reduced. At the same time, feed crops grown with organic fertilizer have higher yields and better quality, which reduces feed costs. In addition, the market price of ecological breeding products is relatively high, which further improves the economic benefits of breeding enterprises.

4. Challenges and solutions faced by organic fertilizer composting machines

① The matching problem of breeding scale and composting machine

With the continuous expansion of breeding scale, the matching problem of breeding scale and composting machine has gradually become prominent. The amount of livestock and poultry manure produced by farms of different sizes is different, and composting machines of suitable specifications need to be selected. The solution is to reasonably configure the number and model of composting machines according to the actual breeding scale and manure production of the farm to ensure that the manure can be treated in a timely and effective manner.

② Technical management problems

The operation of organic fertilizer composting machines requires certain technical management capabilities. Some farms may lack professional technicians, resulting in unstable operation of the composting machine. Solving this problem requires strengthening the training of farm technicians, improving their operating skills and management level, and at the same time, manufacturers should also provide timely technical support and after-sales service.

The application mode of organic fertilizer composting machines in ecological breeding has significant advantages. Although it faces some challenges, its promotion prospects are very broad through reasonable solutions. In the future development of ecological farming, organic fertilizer composting machines will play a more important role and promote the sustainable development of the ecological farming industry.
