Pathogens: Well composted manures can contain coli and other pathogens that can be transmitted to food crops

[Bello Bashir]

Equipment and labor: Composting requires equipment, labor, management, and a suitable location.

Weather: Weather can delay the composting process, especially during the winter.

Soil health: Manure can affect soil health over time, causing a build-up of nutrients and minerals that can leach into waterways

[Bello Bashir]

Compost manure has several disadvantages, including:

Time: Composting can take a month to a year to produce a properly decomposed product

Nutrients: Composting can result in a loss of nitrogen and carbon compounds, which can reduce its value as a fertilizer.

Odor: Composting can produce significant odors if not managed properly.

Drawbacks of composting by-products are cost for site preparation and equipment, the lengthy treatment period, targeting final use of compost product, and environmental issues such as odors and dust.
