The large amounts of slurry wastes produced in intensive farms cause serious disposal and pollution problems. Composting of slurries from animal waste offers an answer to odour nuisance and water pollution associated with their management. The aim of this research was to carry out a preliminar laboratory study trying to transform slurries into compost so they can be used as horticultural substrates, organic soil conditioners or fertilizers.
