•Slaughterhouse Organic Fertilizer and Pesticides
The digested waste from the system is 90%
pathogen free and very high in nutrients, which are vital for
plant growth. As opposed to open composting, nutrients from
the waste are merely broken down into simpler forms and are
not oxidized. This translates to its high value as an organic
fertilizer, soil conditioner and as a biological pesticide.
