Reduction of Bacterial Indicators of Fecal Pollution in Laying Hens Manure Treated by Anaerobic Digestion

The anaerobic digestion can help in the reduction of pathogenic bacteria and to decrease the environmental pollution through the reduction of solids and undesirable microorganisms in the effluents . The present work has as the objective of estimating the reduction of indicators of microorganisms during and after the anaerobic digesting process of litter of hens in continuous bio-digester with different retention time and in non-continuous bio-digester with and without starter A reduction, over 99% of coliforms was observed, showing the efficiency of the process.
