Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an odorless chicken manure ball used as an organic fertilizer for urban use, made primarily from chicken manure, and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the invention involves using starch as a plant powder to produce a seed that forms a nucleus inside the chicken manure ball, mixing and maturing the dried chicken manure with enzymes and microorganisms for 30 days or more to obtain fully fermented chicken manure, crushing the chicken manure to a certain particle size to obtain a blended powder containing a small amount of bentonite or biotite, and then obtaining an odorless chicken manure ball in which the blended powder and the mixture of enzymes and microorganisms form a structure that surrounds the seed.

[0002] The chicken manure balls provided by the present technology meet government standards and are designed to suppress odors and insect infestations that may occur in compost made from chicken manure, making them suitable for urban agriculture. They can function as eco-friendly fertilizers or compost specifically for urban agriculture and flowerbeds. Background Technology

[0003] The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is investing a large budget every year to promote healthy interaction with neighbors and improve the quality of life through urban agriculture, such as rooftop gardens, companion plants, the development of gardens on idle land by local governments, and weekend farms by local communities, in response to the increase in family leisure activities and the growing demand for safe food.

[0004] Accordingly, heads of local governments have established urban agriculture departments within their jurisdictions and assigned civil servants with specialized knowledge to support technical education and operations related to urban agriculture for the elderly, retirees, and women's organizations in the region.

[0005] Urban agriculture is a small-scale farming activity undertaken by ordinary people rather than professional farmers. Successful crop cultivation is crucial for its revitalization, and this requires suitable compost to supply nutrients. However, since the use of fertilizers in the form of compost or liquid fertilizer made from livestock manure, or substandard compost, is expected to lead to complaints regarding odors and insects, dedicated compost suitable for urban agriculture is necessary.

[0006] Meanwhile, fertilizers in the form of compost or liquid fertilizer made from livestock manure have been used as a substitute for chemical fertilizers for the production of eco-friendly agricultural products. However, since these fertilizers are prepared by mixing moisture absorbents such as sawdust and rice husks with livestock manure and fermenting them for a certain period, the odor and resulting foul smell caused by the unfermented state have led to a negative perception and aversion regarding livestock manure-based fertilizers among both compost producers and users.

[0007] Recently, with the development of technologies for producing compost and liquid fertilizer from livestock manure using peat moss to reduce odors, there has been an increasing trend of livestock farms using peat moss as a substitute for bedding in their barns. Peat moss is a natural organic mineral formed from plant matter, such as mosses from swamps, that was deposited deep underground tens of thousands of years ago and altered through biochemical decomposition. It has a moisture content of 45–50%, a slightly acidic pH of 3.5–5.5, and high porosity. It possesses the property of adsorbing both the odor of the manure itself and the odors produced during decomposition, with an odor adsorption rate of 1–1.5% compared to sawdust or rice hulls. Furthermore, it has a high carbohydrate content of approximately 15–25% and a porosity of 80–90%, resulting in a hygroscopicity of about 10 times its total weight. Consequently, when used as floor bedding in livestock barns, its replacement cycle is about 1.5 times longer than that of sawdust or rice hulls. Due to its advantages of being sterile, odorless, and non-toxic, it has been used in Korea for a long time... It has been used as a soil conditioner and crop nutrient in ginseng fields, blueberry farms, horticulture, etc.

[0008] Technologies related to the production of organic compost using livestock manure are being researched and developed in various ways recently. In particular, regarding prior art related to organic compost production, many prior art documents have been presented, such as Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0462953 (Registered Dec. 13, 2004, Title: Method for producing microbial fertilizer using microorganisms and humic acid), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2025123 (Registered Sep. 19, 2019, Title: Eco-friendly peat bedding and method for producing the same), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1965417 (Registered March 28, 2019, Title: Composition of an odor-reducing agent for livestock manure containing peat moss fermentation product or its extract as an active ingredient), and Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1034047 (Registered May 2, 2011, Title: Method for producing a plant growth promoter using peat moss). However, most of these technologies utilize humic acid from leaf mold, mortar, peat, etc., and to A technology for producing liquid or powder microbial fertilizer by mixing cultured microbial strains has been disclosed, and a technology for removing odors from livestock manure has been disclosed, which involves mixing sawdust and minerals into charcoal, mixing groundwater with complex microbial strains (Rhizobium japonicum, Azotobacter vinellandi, Rhodopseudomonas plasmis, Clostridium aceticum and 12 other types), and aging the mixture.

[0009] However, it was confirmed that there is no prior art for obtaining an organic fertilizer for urban use using chicken manure, which involves using starch as a plant powder to produce a seed forming a nucleus inside a chicken manure ball, mixing and maturing dry chicken manure with enzymes and microorganisms for more than 30 days to obtain fully fermented chicken manure, crushing it to a certain particle size to obtain a blended powder containing a small amount of bentonite or biotite, and obtaining a chicken manure ball that does not generate odor through a structure in which the blended powder and the mixture of enzymes and microorganisms surround the seed. This led to the filing of a patent application. The problem to be solved

[0010] Currently, the main problem facing most poultry farms is not egg sales, but the disposal of chicken manure. Due to the stricter application of environmental laws, they are struggling to handle complaints regarding odors. Although chicken manure has excellent composting properties, its use as an ineffective component for crops is limited due to the generation of odors and gases inherent in the material. Consequently, it is currently sold on the market after simple processing, such as pelletizing. However, odorless chicken manure balls are currently being imported and sold at high prices from foreign countries (such as Germany and the Netherlands).

[0011] Therefore, in order to resolve the problems of conventional chicken manure treatment, the present invention sought to eliminate the source of odor and gas generation by promoting complete fermentation of chicken manure. Since existing dry chicken manure is in powder form, it generates a large amount of dust when sprayed, causing inconvenience to urban farmers and consumers. To resolve this, the invention sought to explore possibilities such as mechanical automation to simplify use by making the manure into balls with a diameter of 4 to 10 mm. Furthermore, the invention sought to explore the possibility of developing an eco-friendly product by diversifying the scope of application of chicken manure to include greenhouses, urban vegetable gardens, and companion plants.

[0012] The present invention aims to provide a chicken manure ball and a method for manufacturing the same, which can function as compost for urban agriculture and flowerbeds by using a fermented chicken manure product that exhibits an organic matter content of 30 wt% or more under conditions of inputting 90 wt% chicken manure and 10 wt% sawdust, while meeting government standards and being applicable to urban agriculture, without detecting pathogenic microorganisms, and without generating odor. means of solving the problem

[0013] One embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above objective is an environmentally friendly method for manufacturing odor-free chicken manure balls, comprising: a first step of mixing water with vegetable powder to form a dough and drying it to produce a seed that forms a core inside the chicken manure ball; a second step of mixing 35–45 wt% of enzymes and a complex microbial preparation with 55–65 wt% of dry chicken manure and stirring in a stirrer for a range of 15 ± 3 days to obtain dry chicken manure; a third step of storing the dry chicken manure obtained in the second step in a designated space, collecting evaporated steam generated from the mixed components such as aggregated enzymes and microorganisms in the stirrer, spraying it back onto the dry chicken manure, and stirring slowly at a cycle of 4–5 times / day for a range of 30 ± 3 days to obtain fully fermented chicken manure; a fourth step of removing foreign substances such as chicken feathers and claws from the fermented chicken manure obtained in the third step using a smelter and crushing it to a particle size of 200–350 mesh using a crusher; and the obtained in the fourth step A fifth step process in which bentonite minerals are added to fermented chicken manure at a ratio of 5 wt% and stirred to obtain a blended powder that envelops the seeds (cores); a sixth step process in which seeds (cores) prepared in the first step process are added in the range of 2–5 wt%, the blended powder obtained in the fifth step process is added in the range of 50–60 wt%, 35–45 wt% of enzymes and complex microbial agents are added under low-temperature conditions and stirred, after which primary chicken manure balls cut into sizes of 2–5 mm are obtained and air-dried; a seventh step process in which secondary chicken manure balls are obtained by cutting into sizes of 5–10 mm using additional raw materials in a dough state obtained by adding equal amounts of blended powder and enzymes and complex microbial agents to the primary chicken manure balls obtained in the sixth step process, and air-dried; and a seventh step in which the secondary chicken manure balls obtained in the seventh step process are dry-coated with the blended powder applied in the fifth step process without water and air-dried. This invention is completed by confirming that it is possible to obtain chicken manure balls with an organic matter content of 30 wt% or more and exhibiting the characteristics of non-ineffective components without odor, including the 8th step process.

[0014] In the method for manufacturing chicken manure balls according to the present invention, the vegetable powder used in the first step process may consist of starch and may be used by mixing water in a ratio of 15 ± 5 parts by weight to 85 ± 5 parts by weight of vegetable powder; in the enzyme and complex microbial preparation used in the first, sixth, and seventh steps, the enzyme may consist of a microbial active enzyme preparation and the complex microbial preparation may be applied such that a microbial solution containing lactic acid bacteria strains is used; and in the fifth step process, biotite may be replaced with biotite.

[0015] Accordingly, the chicken manure balls provided by this institution comprise: a first stage process in which vegetable powder is mixed with water to form a dough and then dried to produce a seed forming a core inside the chicken manure ball; a second stage process in which 55–65 wt% of dry chicken manure is mixed with 35–45 wt% of enzymes and a complex microbial preparation and stirred in a stirrer for a range of 15 ± 3 days to obtain dry chicken manure; a third stage process in which the dry chicken manure obtained in the second stage is stored and stirred in a designated space, while collecting water vapor evaporated from the aggregated enzymes and microorganisms and spraying it back onto the dry chicken manure, and stirring slowly at a cycle of 4–5 times / day for a range of 30 ± 3 days to obtain fully fermented chicken manure; a fourth stage process in which foreign substances such as chicken feathers and claws are removed from the chicken manure obtained in the third stage using a smelter and crushed to a particle size of 300–350 mesh using a crusher; and a fourth stage process in which bentonite minerals are added to the chicken manure obtained in the fourth stage at a ratio of 5 wt% and stirred. A fifth step process for obtaining a blended powder that envelops a seed (core); a sixth step process in which the seed (core) prepared in the first step process is added in the range of 2–5 wt%, the blended powder obtained in the fifth step process is added in the range of 50–60 wt%, 35–45 wt% of an enzyme and complex microbial agent is added under low-temperature conditions and stirred, after which primary chicken manure balls cut to a size of 2–5 mm are obtained and air-dried; a seventh step process in which a dough-like raw material obtained by adding equal amounts of the blended powder and the enzyme and complex microbial agent to the chicken manure balls obtained in the sixth step process is cut to obtain secondary chicken manure balls of a size of 5–10 mm and air-dried; and a chicken manure ball provided so as to finally exhibit non-active ingredient characteristics with an organic matter content of 30 wt% or more and without odor by dry-coating the secondary chicken manure balls obtained in the seventh step process with the blended powder obtained in the fifth step without water and air-drying. It is an invention of technological thought.

[0016] Specific embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail below in the section on specific details for implementing the invention. Effects of the invention

[0017] Currently, most poultry farms face difficulties in handling complaints regarding odors due to the stricter application of environmental laws during the disposal of chicken manure, rather than in selling eggs. Although chicken manure has excellent composting properties, its use as a fertilizer for crops is limited due to the generation of odors and gases associated with its characteristics. Consequently, it is currently sold on the market after simple processing such as pelletization, but the odor problem remains unresolved. However, the chicken manure balls provided by the present technology are odorless and exhibit a guaranteed organic content of over 30%.

[0018] Therefore, this invention provides an eco-friendly fertilizer component applicable to urban agriculture that meets government standards and is free from pathogenic microorganisms. It exhibits an organic matter content of 30% or more under conditions of 90% chicken manure and 10% sawdust input, and does not generate odor, thus providing the effect of functioning as an organic compost for urban agriculture and flowerbeds. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0019] Fig. 1: Flowchart of a manufacturing process for obtaining chicken manure balls according to the present invention. Fig. 2: Test report of AT Analysis Center Co., Ltd. regarding the chicken manure ball provided by the present technology Fig. 3: Fertilizer production business registration certificate of the applicant company, Geumpo Agricultural Cooperative Corporation Specific details for implementing the invention

[0020] Hereinafter, the structure, operation, and effects of a method for manufacturing compost for urban use using chicken manure as the main raw material, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0021] Terms and words used in this specification and claims are not to be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention, based on the principle that the inventor may appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe their invention.

[0022] In addition, since the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely one of the most preferred applications of the present invention, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0023] Figure 1 shows a flowchart of a manufacturing process for an application example of obtaining a chicken manure ball according to the present invention. In order to resolve the problem of conventional poultry farms struggling to handle complaints from surrounding areas caused by odors during the chicken manure disposal process, the present invention intended to produce a seed forming a core inside the chicken manure ball using starch, a plant-based powder. The reason starch was selected for use is that while it is preferable to use corn starch to increase adhesive strength, dextrin (starch) extracted from corn starch was intended to be used because of its high unit cost.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to promote rapid fermentation of dried chicken manure and the quick release of odor components, this institution aimed to obtain fully fermented chicken manure by mixing and blending enzymes and microorganisms with the dried chicken manure and fermenting and aging it for over 30 days. The enzyme used here is a microbial activating enzyme preparation commercially available under the product name K-Enzyme, and the microorganism is a complex microbial strain provided by Ocean Bio Co., Ltd. under the product name Baru (lactic acid bacteria strain). Lactobacillus paracasei subsp.tolerans 가 5.0×10 6 cfu / ㎖, Lactobacillus parafarraginis가 1.2×10 6 cfu / ㎖, Lactobacillus harbinensis가 3.0×10 6 cfu / ㎖ A microbial preparation containing a range was used.

[0025] In addition, the reason for crushing the fermented chicken manure into a particle size of 200 to 350 mesh during the manufacturing process of the present invention is to enable precise mixing with dry chicken manure and the molding of chicken manure balls. After being crushed into a fine powder with a particle size of 200 to 350 mesh, a small amount of bentonite or biotite is added to obtain a blended powder that encases the seed nucleus and is used.

[0026] This invention is completed by confirming that when the blended powder obtained through the above process is mixed with enzyme and microbial mixed components while in a state of relatively low specific gravity, and a seed is introduced, just as when making a snowman, one first presses the snow with one's hands to make a hard core and then rolls it in the snow to gradually form a large mass, the blended powder with a relatively low specific gravity forms a structure in which it surrounds a core with a relatively high specific gravity, and then presses it using a granulator and a high-pressure sprayer to obtain a chicken manure ball that does not generate an odor.

[0027] Example of chicken manure ball manufacturing

[0028] Starch was used as the vegetable powder; 8.5 kg of starch powder purchased from ES Food Ingredients was mixed with 1.5 kg of water to create a dough, and then small granules of 1 to 2 mm in size were formed using a ball-forming machine to prepare the seeds. [Stage 1 Process]

[0029] Dried chicken manure was obtained by mixing 6.0 kg of dried chicken manure with 1.0 kg of microbial activating enzyme (K-enzyme) and 3.0 kg of Baru (lactic acid bacteria strain) microbial solution, and subjecting the mixture to a primary fermentation process in a stirrer for 15 days at a speed of rpm (reduction gear 60:1). [Stage 2 Process]

[0030] In the above first fermentation stage, it is predicted that the stirred dried chicken manure, enzymes, and complex microbial strains are introduced into a mechanical fermentation facility to artificially create a catabolic metabolic environment for cell division and proliferation between the complex microbial strains and the microorganisms inherent in the dried chicken manure itself.

[0031] The primary fermented dried chicken manure obtained from the above second stage process was stored in a silo equipped with a low-speed stirrer and a downward-round lid, and a secondary fermentation / maturation process of the dried chicken manure was carried out for 30 days. It is predicted that during the secondary fermentation and maturation of the dried chicken manure, the complex microbial strains convert organic high-molecular compounds within the manure into low-molecular compounds through aerobic, facultative anaerobic, and anaerobic fermentation actions, thereby converting them into a high-quality compost source. During the secondary fermentation process, liquid (such as aggregated enzymes and microorganisms) evaporated from the enzymes and complex microbial solution contained in the dried chicken manure due to internal heat adheres to the downward-round lid of the silo and is then sprayed back onto the dried chicken manure. When stirred slowly at a cycle of 4 to 5 times per day for 30 days, fully fermented chicken manure could be obtained (at this time, it is preferable to maintain the internal temperature of the silo in the range of 50 to 70℃, and if the temperature rises further, it is desirable to fill the upper concave part of the downward-round lid with cooling water.) [Third Stage Process].

[0032] The representative conversion methods for composting in the above secondary fermentation stage are summarized as follows.

[0033] ① Synthetic reaction of microorganisms (anabolism)

[0034] The complex microbial strain proliferates by consuming organic matter in chicken manure and undergoing autosynthesis. During this process, aerobic microorganisms react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace elements are required to synthesize the proteins that constitute the microorganisms; the reaction equation is as follows, and trace elements and phosphorus (P) have been omitted from the synthesized microorganisms (C5H7NO2).

[0035] 8(CH2O) + C8H 12 NO3+ 6O2→ 2C5H7NO2+ 6CO2+ 7H2O

[0036] Here, CH2O is a carbohydrate, C8H 12 NO3 is protein, O2 is oxygen, C5H7NO2 is microbial cells, CO2 is carbon dioxide, and H2O is water.

[0037] ② Microbial decomposition reaction (catabolism)

[0038] Under conditions of insufficient food (chicken manure) for microorganisms, if oxygen is supplied, the microorganisms self-decompose as follows, producing carbon dioxide, ammonia (NH3), and water.

[0039] C5H7NO2+ 5O2→ 5CO2+ NH3+ 2H2O

[0040] Composting occurs at room temperature, and in the event of oxygen deficiency, organic acids are generated in the compost source through anaerobic reactions. It is understood that as the pH decreases, the rate of composting slows down, and the composting reaction stops when the pH reaches 5 or lower. Obtaining fully fermented chicken manure in the above third stage process means that when enzymes and microbial liquid are added to the primary fermented dry chicken manure and stirred, various microorganisms clump together to form a complex biological network, which is converted into the main raw material for urban compost. It is predicted that the metabolites produced by the microbial strains within the complex microbial strains through symbiosis with the bacteria present in the chicken manure effectively control and eliminate chicken manure odors and foul smells through interaction.

[0041] The fermented chicken manure obtained from the above third-stage process was processed using a smelter to remove foreign substances (chicken feathers, claws, etc.) and then crushed using a crusher. During this process, the interior of the mechanical equipment was sealed, and a horizontal-type system with two symmetrical axes rotated at over 150 rpm in a zero-gravity state to homogeneously crush and shred the fermented chicken manure. The resulting material was then sieved to a size of 300–350 mesh and used. [Fourth-stage process]

[0042] A blended powder that encases the seed (core) was obtained by adding and stirring the fermented chicken manure obtained in the above 4th step process at 95 wt% and containing bentonite mineral at a ratio of 5 wt% [5th step process].

[0043] 0.3 kg of small granular seeds with a size of 1 to 2 mm prepared in the above first-stage process, 5.5 kg of the blended powder obtained in the fifth-stage process, 1.0 kg of microbial activating enzyme, and 3.0 kg of microbial solution were mixed and fed into a ball-forming machine. While stirring, primary chicken manure balls with a size of 3 to 5 mm were obtained and naturally dried. [Sixth-stage process]

[0044] 0.6 kg of the primary chicken manure balls obtained in the above Step 6 process, 5.5 kg of the blended powder obtained in Step 5 process, 1.0 kg of microbial activating enzyme, and 3.0 kg of microbial solution were mixed, and secondary chicken manure balls with a size of 6–8 mm were obtained using a ball-forming machine and air-dried. [Step 7 Process]

[0045] The secondary chicken manure balls obtained in the above 7th step process were fed into a granulation machine along with the blended powder in the 5th step process without water, enzymes, or microbial solution, dry-coated, and naturally dried to obtain chicken manure balls that do not generate odor [8th step process]

[0046] As described above, the chicken manure balls obtained through the eighth step process are packaged and sold in units of 1 to 10 kg so that they can be used in the required amount, taking into account convenience when used in urban agriculture as compost molded products for urban use.

[0047] Test analysis of chicken manure balls

[0048] Based on the judgment that component analysis of the contents of the chicken manure balls obtained through the above manufacturing process was necessary, the inventor of the present invention requested a test result inspection dated April 20, 2022, from AT Analysis Center Co., Ltd.
