Composting as a cleaner strategy to broiler agro-industrial wastes: Selecting carbon source to optimize the process and improve the quality of the final compost
Nitrogen-rich agroindustrial by-products from broiler chain were composted. Five lignocellulose-containing materials were assessed as potential carbon sources. We used Multivariate Analysis – Cluster and PCA - for a joint analysis of data. Sawdust was the least interesting option for the optimization of composting area. The use of cotton waste as a carbon source enabled greater nutrient conservation.
