Kompost Yekpare Yataklı Ahırlar

Kompost yekpare yataklı ahırlar (Compost-bedded pack barns; CBPB), süt sığırları için mükemmel bir konfor seviyesi sunan alternatif gevşek yataklı bir ahır sistemidir. Bu sistemde, sığırlarda laminitis ve topallık vakalarının serbest gezinmeli ahırlarda barındırılan sığırlara oranla daha az görüldüğü, sığırların doğal yatma davranışları ile sosyal etkileşimlerinin daha kolay gerçekleşebileceği bildirilmektedir. CBPB barınaklarında, hayvanların dinlendikleri sınırlı bireysel duraklar yerine geniş yataklı bir alan, duraklar ve komposta kaplanan yataklık söz konusudur. Compost yekpare yatak, ineklerin ürettiği dışkı ile idrar karışımını ve organik tabakalaşmayı ifade eden bir yataktır. Kompostlaştırma, aerobik bir işlemdir. Organik maddeyi parçalayarak karbondioksit, su ve ısı üretmek için aerobik mikroorganizmalar işlev görür. İdeal olarak, kompostlama için C: N (Karbon:Azot) oranı 25: 1 ile 30: 1 arasında olması gerekir. Başarılı olmak için oksijen, azot ve nem kontrolünün yapılması ve yeni yatak (altlık) malzemesinin sürekli eklenmesi gerekmektedir.

Compost-Bedded Pack Barns

Compost-bedded pack barns (CBPB), generally known as compost dairy barns, are an alternative loose housing system that appears to offer an excellent level of comfort for dairy cows. Composting is an aerobic process. The continuous introduction of oxygen (air), carbon and nitrogen (through manure) and moisture control (new bedding) is required for success. Relies on aerobic microorganisms to break down organic matter and produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat. In a compost bedded-pack barn, the manure and urine released by cattle and the added bedding provide the essential nutrients (carbon, nitrogen, moisture, and microorganisms) needed for the composting process. Ideally, the C:N ratio for a peak composting rate needs to be between 25:1 and 30:1. New bedding material, besides absorbing water, will also aid in achieving this ratio. Manure, urine, and microbial activity produce a pack’s source of moisture, which ideally should be between 45 -55%.
