Accordingly, the reporter conveyed techniques for fermenting crop by-products as animal feed, composting organic fertilizer from crop by-products in the field, raising chickens on thick biological bedding, raising calcium worms, and raising earthworms. These are quite simple, easy-to-do, and environmentally friendly techniques. Farmers can take advantage of post-harvest agricultural by-products to ferment crop by-products as nutritious feed for livestock, compost organic fertilizer from straw and crop by-products right in the field; Raising calcium worms, raising earthworms with pig manure, buffalo, cow, chicken manure, leftover food...
