Biodegradation of Chicken Feather Waste with Bacillus subtilis in Vermicomposting
Poultry waste (chicken manure [CD] and chicken feathers [CF]), and agricultural waste, including mushroom media residue (MMR) and banana trunks (BT), were utilised in this vermicomposting with different proportions (15 ratios).This study primarily introduced earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae) and Bacillus subtilis (3.9 10 -5 CFU/mL) as degradation agents.Both agents were added on day 14 into bins, mixed thoroughly, and the subsequent substrate was then retained for the 60-
