Abstract
This research investigated the composting process of cassava pulp and swine manure at various initial C/N ratios of 20/1, 30/1, and 40/1 and the effect of microbial activator, p.d.1, on composting process. Compost with an initial C/N ratio of 30/1 seeded with p.d.1 showed the highest maximum temperature (63.5°C), the lowest number of faecal coliform (2.87 Log10 MPN g-1), and the shortest time (around day 42) to reach maturity, suggesting a suitable initial C/N ratio.
