Description

  The present invention relates to a microorganism for efficiently treating cow dung discharged in large quantities from a cow breeding ground and a method for treating cow dung using the microorganism.

Methods for treating various organic wastes discharged from livestock manure, households, businesses and public facilities, and other animal rearing facilities using the action of microorganisms, and sludge discharged from such processing facilities Various methods have been proposed for composting and the like, and devices for deodorizing and treating livestock manure.
The present inventor also previously invented Bacillus thuringiensis FERM P-18014 and Bacillus subtilis FERM P-18015 as microorganisms that efficiently decompose starch or protein contained in organic waste liquid or biological sludge. Filed an application.
Organic wastes with high water content, such as manure, are processed and digested by the action of microorganisms, then separated into solid and liquid, the solid part is used as compost, and the liquid part is further purified as necessary. And so on. Since these processing facilities are large-sized, high costs are required for operation and processing including processing facility costs, filter aids, power and other auxiliary material costs, personnel costs, and the like.

  Among them, cow dung, especially containing a large amount of viscous material, prevents various substances, air and microorganisms from penetrating into the interior. For this reason, although the surface treatment is successful, unlike ordinary organic waste, water and a part of the viscous material flow downward from the portion where the fermentation treatment has been completed and contaminate the surroundings. On the other hand, complete treatment with microorganisms throughout cow dung including the interior has hardly been successful. This is why cow dung is difficult to ferment. Therefore, it is possible to use a large stirrer while using a litter or sawdust together, or to deodorize together with a chemical deodorizer, or to use multiple steps with a large treatment layer. Various attempts have been made, such as a method of decomposing, drying and processing, a method of forcibly separating solid and liquid, and heating the solid part to sun-drying or composting. The actual situation is that it has not yet achieved high bromide-free, composting and fertilization.

In addition, the lump of raw cow dung is not easily broken by agitation, and this lump contains a large amount of moisture and the inside is anaerobic, so it inhibits composting that is difficult to ferment, and is the second hindrance to efficient cow dung composting. It is a factor. In addition, it causes bad odor and causes great social problems. Furthermore, many insects, especially mites, exist in cow dung, and these are pollution sources that can be called secondary pollution of cow dung. In addition, cattle manure contains weed seeds and is said to be one of the naturalized plant invasion routes through imported feed.

  A microorganism for efficiently deodorizing and composting cow dung, a microorganism preparation for efficiently deodorizing and composting cow dung containing this microorganism, and a method for efficiently debriding and composting cow dung using this microorganism preparation provide. At the same time, the present invention provides a technique that suppresses the generation of insects, especially mites, that cow dung reproduces, and can suppress the germination of weed seeds in cow dung, which is one of the naturalized plant invasion routes through imported feed.

  Also, including this strain, one or more of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus megaterium having the ability to decompose and treat cow dung in the presence of vegetable oils and ammonia sources The unsuccessful conventional method has been achieved by fermenting beef dung treatment microbial preparations prepared from buckwheat husks, sawdust, wood chips, etc. together with vegetable oils and ammonia sources in addition to beef dung and intermittently turning back during the fermentation period. It has been found that the cattle manure can be made non-brominated and completely composted. Further, in carrying out this method, a new strain Bacillus megaterium IBTU-1 (FERM P-20160) was found as a microorganism capable of extremely odor-free and composting cow dung, and the present invention was completed based on these findings. did.

  According to the present invention, it has conventionally been difficult to make bromide and fertilizer easily, and it has been one of the major pollution sources that generate bad odors without requiring effective treatment while requiring large equipment and cost. A large amount of cow dung was almost completely non-brominated by a very simple and inexpensive method in a short time, and a useful fertilizer was made possible. Since the bacteria used are highly degradable, they ferment well into the cow dung, and the existing sticky product is fermented and decomposed. The cow dung mass begins to break for about one week or less, and the fermentation is completed in about 10 to 2 weeks. To do. In the fermented cow dung product after this fermentation and treatment, a very beneficial effect that seeds of weeds contained in cow dung are no longer germinated is expected. Furthermore, there is an effect that insects such as mites are not alive in the fermented cow dung product after the fermentation and treatment.

Microorganisms useful for the practice of the present invention include Bacillus spp., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus megaterium, which have the ability to decompose and treat cow dung in the presence of vegetable oils and ammonia sources. Specific strains thereof include Bacillus thuringiensis FERM P-19220 (Bacillus
thuringiensis FERM P-19220), Bacillus thuringiensis FERM P-19221 (Bacillus
thuringiensis FERM P-19221), Bacillus thuringiensis FERM P-18014 (Bacillus
thuringiensis FERM P-18014), Bacillus subtilis FERM P-19222 (Bacillus
subtilis FERM P-19222), Bacillus subtilis FERM P-18015 (Bacillus
subtilis FERM P-18015), or Bacillus megaterium IBTU-1 (FERM P-20160) (Bacillus
megatherium IBTU-1 (FERM P-20160). Bacillus megaterium IBTU-1 (FERM P-20160) is a new strain used in the present invention, and the deposit number (FERM P-20160) was submitted to the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology on August 11, 2004. ).

In practicing the present invention, a culture itself obtained by culturing a strain of the genus Bacillus having the ability to decompose and treat cow dung in the presence of these vegetable oils and ammonia sources in an appropriate nutrient medium, together with the vegetable oils and ammonia sources. Although it can be used in addition to cow dung, one or more cultures of Bacillus strains that have the ability to decompose and process cow dung in the presence of these vegetable oils and ammonia sources are used as rice husks, buckwheat husks. It is more convenient to use it in the form of a microbial preparation for treating cow dung prepared by mixing with wood chips, wood chips and the like.

As an example of a method for preparing this microbial preparation, one or more of these microbial strains are cultured in a liquid medium (500 ml) composed of nutritive broth-glucose (including 0.5% salt), etc. The culture is centrifuged to collect microbial cells, and each strain is mixed. On the other hand, rapeseed oil (200 ml), water (500 ml) and peptone (50 g) are added to 10 L of buckwheat, and the mixture is mixed, and the mixture is placed in a container such as styrene foam and aerobically cultured at about 20 ° C. for about 3 days. The culture is turned over and further cultured under the same conditions for about 3 days to obtain the microorganism preparation of the present invention. In practicing the present invention, a cell mixture itself obtained by culturing and centrifuging the above strain can be used, but it is convenient to use it in the form of a microbial preparation prepared as described above.

The vegetable fats and oils used in the present invention may be glycerin fatty acid ester fats and oils used for food, cosmetics and the like, and particularly if edible waste oil discharged from kitchens of restaurants and canteens is used, in terms of environmental protection. There are also two birds with one stone.
The amount of these vegetable oils and fats used is about 0.5 to 5%, more preferably about 1-3%, with respect to normal cow dung having a water content of about 65 to 85%. When the temperature is lowered to 40 ° C. or lower, or when reversing, replenishment is used.

  The ammonia source used in the present invention may be ammonia water or ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride, ammonium acetate, and organic nutrients such as peptone, skim milk, casein, and nutrient broth. These may be solid in the case of salts, but usually a method of sprinkling an aqueous solution of about 10 to 30% on cow dung is easy to handle. However, organic nutrients such as peptone are used in powder form. The amount used is about 0.1 to 1% by volume of a 20% solution for salts, 0.01 to 0.5% for organic nutrients, more preferably 0.03% to 0.16%. Use capacity.

The cow dung to which the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, such as normal cow dung, for example, fresh cow dung including bedding scraped from the cow barn, cow dung discharged from the barn and accumulated, and is generally applied to cow dung. It may be dried in the sun. In fermentation, inoculum, ammonia source and vegetable oil are added to cow dung and mixed well for fermentation. It is preferable to stir and turn back to the bottom part every 1 to 3 days. When it is found that the viscous material peculiar to cow dung remains unfermented at the bottom by this stirring, it is mixed with the portion dried and fermented by stirring up and down before the bad odor is generated. It is desirable to improve. When fermentation is stopped, an ammonium source may be added as appropriate together with the edible oil.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although this invention is demonstrated still in detail using an Example, this invention is not limited to these.

May 3 to May 15, 2003, Test at an outside temperature of 12-26 ° C A mixture of Japanese black beef dung 18L (water content 79%) and 6L of inoculum collected from Shinshu University Farm, Shinshu University Agricultural Co-op 300 ml of waste cooking oil and 30 g of peptone provided from the cafeteria were placed in a styrofoam container for cold storage of fish and vegetables, and a gap of about 1 cm was made between the lid and the container and left outdoors.
On the second day, the internal temperature rose to 38-48 ° C. The internal temperature rose to 60-71 ° C. on the 3rd to 5th days. During that time, no foul odor occurred. Since a bad odor was felt on the 6th day, when the mixture was stirred, a viscous material had accumulated unfermented at the bottom, and the whole was stirred. The water content of cow dung at this time was 56.5%.

  On the 6th and 7th days, the temperature of the cow dung is 50-58 ° C, the cells grow white in the cow dung lump, the large lump is crushed, and the small one breaks easily when grasped It was. A small amount of undecomposed viscous material was deposited on the bottom of the container. In addition, some undecomposed viscous material was also found around the mass, so the upper and lower portions were sufficiently mixed with stirring.

The internal temperature of the cow dung on the 8th day was 28 to 34 ° C., and the water content was 54.4%. On day 9, 200 ml of waste edible oil and 5 g of peptone were added and stirred thoroughly. On the 10th to 11th days, the internal temperature of the cow dung rose to 62-68 ° C., and on the 11th day, the bottom was well stirred. Undegraded viscous material was hardly seen, and the fermentation was finished on the 12th day. The internal temperature was 28-38 ° C. Since a peculiar odor generated at the end of composting was felt, 20 ml of 20% ammonium chloride was sprinkled and stirred, and the malodor disappeared. After 3 hours, the smell of earth was felt. The internal temperature on the 12th to 13th days was 20 to 36 ° C., and it fell to around 20 ° C. on the 14th day, and composting was completed. The cow dung was white and covered with microbial cells, and the bacteria were well propagated. Water content 54.5%, germination of weed seeds, and survival of insects such as mites were not observed.

Reference example 1
As a control, 15 L of cow dung (water content 79%), 6 L of inoculum, and 300 ml of waste cooking oil were mixed and stirred, placed in a styrofoam container, and left outdoors with a gap of about 1 cm between the lid and the container. did. Stir thoroughly during the process. The fermentation temperature of cow dung from the 2nd day to the 9th day was 44 to 53 ° C. The fermentation was completed on the 10th day. Undegraded viscous material of cow dung was deposited on the bottom of the container and gave off a bad odor. Fermentation did not proceed even after stirring. There was a bad smell on the way, and insects gathered. The cow dung mass was not fermented, and weed seed germination was observed. The water content of the fermented part (about 30%, upper part except the lump) was 57%.

Reference example 2
As a control, 15 L of cow dung (water content 79%), 6 L of inoculum, and 50 ml of 20% ammonium chloride solution were mixed and stirred, put into a styrofoam container, and a gap of about 1 cm was created between the lid and the container. I left it outdoors. Stir thoroughly during the process. The internal temperature of cow dung on the first day of fermentation rose to 45 ° C., and the fermentation temperature of cow dung on the 2nd to 5th days increased to 50 to 68 ° C. However, since undecomposed viscous material was deposited on the bottom, stirring was performed. The fermentation temperature on day 6-8 was maintained at 25-38 ° C. When 30 ml of ammonium chloride was added and stirred on the 9th day, the fermentation temperature rose to 54 to 68 ° C. on the 10th to 12th days, but stirring was performed because an undecomposed viscous substance had accumulated at the bottom. On the 13th day, the fermentation temperature was 47 to 54 ° C., and the 14th day was 34 to 38 ° C., and the fermentation was completed on the 15th day. Although weed seeds did not germinate, the inside of the bovine dung mass remained raw and no fermentation was observed. In addition, the viscous material at the bottom remained unfermented, the amount of cow dung was much remaining, and the water content of the fermented portion was 57%. It will be appreciated that fermentation requires the presence of vegetable oil.

Example 2 From May 3, 2003 to May 15, 2003, a mixture of test cow feces 20 L (water content 85%) and inoculum 6 L at an outside temperature of 12-26 ° C., edible oil 800 ml, 20% ammonium chloride solution 50 ml Was put in a polystyrene foam container and mixed well, and a gap of about 1 cm was made between the lid and the container and left outdoors.
From the second day to the sixth day, the internal fermentation temperature was 58-68 ° C. During this time, fermentation was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. Since the viscous material was deposited unfermented at the bottom, the whole was stirred once every two days. On the seventh day, the temperature dropped to 28-38 ° C., so 400 ml of waste cooking oil and 20 ml of 20% ammonium chloride solution were added and left standing. At this point, the viscous material was still unfermented on the bottom.

On day 8-10, the internal fermentation temperature rose to 55-58 ° C. The viscous material deposited at the bottom disappeared. On day 11, the internal temperature was 25-35 ° C. and the fermentation was complete. The water content of the compost at this time was 56%. Compared to Example 1, the fermentation period was slightly longer, but the maximum temperature was slightly lower. The mass of cow dung showed white growth of the fungus to the inside, the large mass broke small, and no viscous material was seen. No germination of weed seeds was observed.
From the 12th day onward, the temperature was maintained at around 20-30 ° C. for 3 days, and no malodor was felt throughout the fermentation period.

Example 3
Cattle dung was treated in the same manner as in Example 2 by replacing ammonium chloride with ammonium acetate, and almost the same results as in Example 2 were obtained. A slight acetic acid odor was sometimes felt during the fermentation period.

Reference Example 3 Test from April 8, 2003 to April 23, 2003, outside temperature: 5-16 ° C.
Cow dung 15 L (water content 76%), edible oil 300 ml, and peptone 30 g were placed in a styrofoam container and mixed well. A gap of about 1 cm was formed between the lid and the container and left outdoors.
From the second day to the third day, the internal fermentation temperature was 37-47 ° C. On the 4th to 5th day, the internal fermentation temperature rose to 57-65 ° C. A bad smell was felt and insects gathered. On the 6th day, the internal fermentation temperature decreased to 32 to 37 ° C and on the 7th day to 20 ° C. When 200 ml of waste cooking oil and 4 g of peptone were added on the 8th day and stirred well, the internal fermentation temperature rose to 42-52 ° C. on the 9th to 10th days, but the fermentation ended on the 11th day.
There are germinated weeds on the surface of the cow dung, inside the cow dung there is no growth of fungus body, the lump of the cow dung remains intact, undegraded viscous material remains at the bottom, and the moisture content is The ratio was 58%, and the inside of the cow dung lump was 72%, which varied depending on the site.

Example 4
In parallel with Reference Example 2, 10 L of cow dung (moisture content of 76%) and 5 L of inoculum were placed in a styrofoam container and mixed well, and a gap of about 1 cm was formed between the lid and the container and left outdoors.
From the second day to the ninth day, the internal fermentation temperature was 25 to 33 ° C. On the 10th day, the internal fermentation temperature became 17-19 ° C., and the fermentation was completed. During this time, the mixture was stirred twice, but growth of bacterial cells was observed on the surface of the lump, but the inside was not fermented at all.
Fermentation started when 200 ml of waste cooking oil and 20 g of peptone were added on the 13th day, and fermented on the 14th to 16th days, and the internal cow dung temperature rose to 50-55 ° C.
As is clear from this result, cow dung is only slightly fermented with the inoculum alone, but it can be seen that cow dung is composted wonderfully due to the presence of vegetable oil and ammonia source.

  As is clear from the above description, unlike the general organic waste, the present invention prevents the growth of microorganisms due to the viscous material conventionally contained in cow dung, and does not promote fermentation, decomposition, and composting. Even cow dung can be fermented, decomposed and composted in an extremely efficient and inexpensive manner. The present invention can be directly applied to a cow dung processing facility equipped with a conventional large-scale facility.
