Features of the use of rabbit manure as a fertilizer

These pets are considered useful and very productive. Animals are grown not only for obtaining meat and skins. They still produce manure, used in vegetable gardens as a fertilizer composition.Many people consider rabbit manure to be the most useful kind,Truck farmers call it jokingly rabbit gold. The use of this type of manure is widespread everywhere, on its basis produce fertilizer compounds in industrial quantities.

Composition of fertilizer from rabbit manure

In manure contains a large number of organic substances and trace elements, which are well absorbed.

One kilogram of litter is:

1. nitrogen- 6 grams;
2. oxides:

• calcium - 4 grams;
• magnesium - 7 grams;
• potassium - 6 grams.

And if in the manure produced by the rest of the animals, one of the components predominates, then the rabbits contain these substances almost on the same level.

The presence of these elements, to which phosphoric acid and other compounds must be added,manure can become a substitute for three three-kilogram packages of mineral fertilizer composition- ammonium sulfate, potassium salt, superphosphate.

Rabbit gold as a fertilizer is useful in that it softens, loosens, warms and saturates the soil composition. Sometimes it is used without preliminary composting because in the substrate there are no plant seeds capable of germination.

Application in practice

The calf of rabbits as a fertilizer is used in large volumes in virtually every region of the country.It is great for greenhouses,It is used for cultivation of flowers and mushrooms, forage plants, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Fresh

Apply such a litter rarely. Harvesting in the autumn period, fresh rabbit manure is scattered on the beds, feeding the depleted soil with nutrient components.In winter, the feces freeze and decompose, losing at that time the decay products.With the onset of spring, thawed waters and rains dissolve and deeply impregnate the soil with useful components. If the soil is covered with the underlay, hay will fulfill the role of mulch, decompose and even more "saturate" the soil.

Compost

If you lay it with the onset of spring, then in the following winter the droppings of rabbits can be used as a fertilizer.Compost should be scattered over the surface of the beds, dig, which will enable the earth to be saturated with useful components.

Compost can be diluted with water and fed with such a composition of fruit and berry trees and root crops. It is used as a mulch, which helps to keep the soil hydrated and suppresses the weed vegetation. Compost can cover the beds with planted before winter garlic, protecting it from frost;

In dry condition

Litter bulbs need to be burned or driedunder sunlight, powder into powder, mix with soil, spending one spoon on three kilograms of soil.

From this powder, you can prepare a liquid top dressing for indoor and garden flowers;

Humus

This is a heap of decomposed manure, differing in loose and homogeneous consistency, similar to fertile black soil.Quality humus becomes after it is processed earthworms.It should simply be scattered on the site and dig up the beds.

How to prepare and use the fertilizer yourself?

Every breeder breeding rabbits knows how to equip the cells. But in brief to remind their structure will be useful.

To the litter does not accumulate inside, the floors are equipped with slots or holes, so that the rabbit droppings can fall freely down. Specialists recommend using metal gratings with small cells for this purpose, placing pallets beneath them to accumulate manure.

Collecting the dung of rabbits, it should be mixed with cow, sheep or horse.For composting to be faster and friable, food waste of organic origin should be used. But at the same time it is necessary to periodically shovel the whole heap with a shovel. The readiness of the compost will be declared by the mass itself, which should become friable and homogeneous.

The prepared fertilizers are used:

• in the autumn time,adding it when plowing.In the spring, the earth will already be saturated with all the necessary components and fully prepared for planting crops;
• him directlyis mixed in the planting hole;
• mixed with straw, used as a mulch;
• applyas a bait;
• is usedas a fertilizer.Mixing it in a proportion of 1 to 1 with wood ash, manure must be insisted to ferment. Then such feeding is diluted with water at the rate of 1 to 10.

To prepare a bait, you need to take a half to two kilograms of fresh litter, pour it with a bucket of water. The mixture should be infused until completely dissolved. Thisthe bait is introduced into the landing holes in the amount of two liters per one square meter.This method of fertilization is allowed to apply one to two times during the year.

When storing manure, keep it from drying out. And if this happens, the dried up droppings do not need to be thrown away. It still contains about fifty percent of nutrient components, so that the rabbit's dung is able to benefit. It prepares a liquid bait, which is very effective.

The experience of livestock farmers and truck farmers proves thatlitter rabbits can be a good option for nutrition and activation of useful components for each plant, which will have an excellent effect on the expected yield. The composition of this manure is not inferior in quality to cow or horse organics. Its consistency is more dry and dense, which greatly facilitates transportation.
