Evaluación nutricional del bocashi, provenientes de mezclas de residuos del faenamiento de animales en el camal municipal de la ciudad de Macas

Abstract

The objective of the current research was to evaluate the nutrients of bokashi that is made from mixtures of animal slaughtering residues in the slaughterhouse located in Macas city. The methodology used in the research work determined the chemical physical characteristics (color, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter and humidity) of the residues from the animal slaughtering process was identified as the best option to elaborate bokashi from three inoculated biodegradable treatments. Additionally, three samples were sent to the DSA INIAP soil, plant, and water analysis laboratories for the physicochemical analysis of the concentrations of N, P, K and the C/N ratio about bokashi produced. The data from the experiment were subjected to observation, analysis, description and statistical treatment; taking into account that the experiment was carried out in the city of Macas-Morona Santiago Province, Parroquia Sevilla Don Bosco where its climate goes from warm to hot. The fermentation process lasted 15 days, with daily stirring (twice a day), and the following parameters were analyzed in the field: temperature, humidity, and pH. The results show that for the preparation of the bokashi type fertilizer recommends to use the T2 treatment, being the best option due to it contains: nitrogen (N) -1.09%, phosphorus (P) - 0.43%, potassium (K) -1.63%, organic matter (OM) - 26.38%, carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N) -14.04%. It was concluded that to obtain better results, the importance to condition the residues and stirring them twice a day. Finally, it is recommended to carry out this type of practice under shade in order to avoid the impact of environmental factors.
