Abstract

Broiler health could be impacted because litter is medium for microorganism growth, including gastrointestinal pathogens. This paper described the Calcium Silicate (CaSi) powder application on broiler litter and their impact to the composting process. The Data showed that CaSi powder absorbed water from broiler litter and maintained litter pH around 7. Furthermore, composts made from manure that were used CaSi powder have more dry and low C/N ratio than manure that were not applied with CaSi powder. According to these data, the application of CaSi in broiler litter was useful for reducing moisture in broiler litter so that it disturbed microorganism to grow in litter and haven a positive impact on waste cage management
