Extractions: The Ohio State University Introduction Animal agriculture is faced today with discovering innovative ways to dispose of their mortalities. This need has been brought on by the disappearance of rendering plants, concerns over burial and ground water pollution, and the economic cost and related issues of anaerobic decomposition in tanks. Composting of dead animals is one option that is now available (1,2,4). This brief article presents background information on composting dead animals in a rational, fashion. It discusses first the principles of composting and then composting dead animals. Basics of Composting Composting is a natural, biological process of decomposition of solid material in a predominantly aerobic environment. In it, bacteria, fungi and other small organisms break down organic materials (raw) to stable, useable organic substances called compost. The microorganisms use the most readily available parts of the waste as their food source and the compost that remains afterwards resembles humus and makes a good soil amendment. While composting occurs naturally, efficient composting requires properly prepared and maintained conditions and needs to be done so as to keep odor and other nuisance problems at a minimum. Under controlled conditions, composting is generally accomplished using two stages, primary (high rate) and secondary (curing). Items which need to be controlled in order for a composting operation to run properly include C/N ratio, moisture, porosity and temperature (4).
