ABSTRACT:
An integrated waste reclamation and processing system converts biodegradable liquid and solid waste into poultry products (or the like) and humus-like substances. The system uses earthworms and poultry in a manner in which biodegradable waste is first composted and then used as a substrate for newly hatched worms. The worms grow in the waste for about eighty days and then are harvested and fed to chickens or laying hens, in combination with other food. The waste left behind by the worms has humus-like properties which can be used as a soil conditioner on eroded, strip-mined, or desert land. This conversion system, which is preferably contained in a closed building and maintained operational throughout the year, it is applicable to the needs of small and large waste-producing institutions and facilitates the reclamation of biodegradable waste in a manner which is environmentally acceptable and economically feasible. The structures and machinery used in the system are also shown and described.
