Use of redworms (Perionyx excavatus) to manage agricultural wastes and supply valuable feed for poultry
Livestock research for rural development(2009)
摘要
Perionyx excavatus, cultured in Vietnam in early 1990s, showed an important role in managing organic wastes and supplying a very nutritious feed for animals. To develop vermiculture in practice, four treatments of different substrates including 100% fresh cattle manure (CM); cattle manure + pig manure in 50:50 ratio (CPM); cattle manure + pig manure + rice straw in 50:40:10 ratio (CPMRS) and pig manure + rice straw in 90:10 ratio (PMRS) were prepared to examine worms’ growth and their decomposition efficiency. All substrates were composted 45 days before feeding to worms. The result showed that cattle manure (CM) was the best substrate for worm growth (biomass gained 713 g after 45 days or 242.6% of growth rate). The worm biomass achieved in CPMRS and PMRS treatments was significantly lower than that in CM treatment. As compared to primary substrates, vermicomposts exhibited an excellent result with a great increase in the amount of total P (0.3 – 0.6%), total K (0.09 – 0.23%), Ca (0.51 – 0.79%) and a decrease in N-NH 3 and N-NH 4 + .
