“…One function of litter is to absorb and store water from excreta and drinking-system spillage until the water can be evaporated and removed from the shed by the ventilation system. The amount of water in litter has been found to affect microbial activity (Bessei, 2006;Eriksson De Rezende et al, 2001;Himathongkham et al, 1999;Wadud et al, 2012), thermal insulation (Agnew and Leonard, 2003), ammonia emissions (Miles et al, 2011), odour emissions (Clarkson and Misselbrook, 1991;Murphy et al, 2014) and friability (Bernhart and Fasina, 2009).…”

“…Aerobic composting is a widely used technique for solid waste treatment, the equipment for composting is developing rapidly [4][5][6][7]. In recent years, some studies focused on changes in biochemical indicators [5,8], maturity [4], stability of compost products [6], and effects of product cultivation [9]. Domestic and foreign scholars conducted a series of studies on the theory and practice of solving the long-time fermentation problem of conventional composting, similar to adding the biological agent to accelerate decomposition during the composting process [10].…”
