Composting of animal manures and chemical criteria for compost maturity assessment. A review
TL;DR: The basic concepts of the composting process and how manure characteristics can influence its performance are explained and a summary of those factors such as nitrogen losses, organic matter humification and compost maturity which affect the quality of composts produced by manure composting is presented.

Biochar accelerates organic matter degradation and enhances N mineralisation during composting of poultry manure without a relevant impact on gas emissions
María Sánchez-García,José Antonio Alburquerque,Miguel A. Sánchez-Monedero,Asunción Roig,Maria Luz Cayuela +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that biochar, as composting additive, improved the physical properties of the mixture by preventing the formation of clumps larger than 70 mm, and favoured microbiological activity without a relevant impact on N losses and gaseous emissions.

Reducing antibiotic resistance genes, integrons, and pathogens in dairy manure by continuous thermophilic composting
TL;DR: Redundancy analysis showed that CTC performed significantly better at reducing ARGs, integrons, and HPB, thus it may be used to manage the public health risks of ARGs in animal manure.

Maturity and stability parameters of composts prepared with a wide range of organic wastes
TL;DR: In this paper, seven different composts were prepared by the Rutgers static-pile system using a wide range of wastes: sewage sludge, poultry manure, pig slurry, olive mill wastewater city refuse and the lignocellulosic wastes cotton waste, maize straw and sweet sorghum bagasse.
