Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of pig manure composting on emission of dinitrogen oxide () that is greenhouse gas. Fresh pig manure was mixed with sawdust as bulking agent and moisture content of mixed compost was adjusted by 61.9%. After mixing bulking agent with pig manure that was left to compost with aeration in composting chamber for an initial period of 30 days. At the end of this period, that was decomposed and a second period of composting was conducted without aeration for 60 days. Temperature during the initial composting period was above for 7 days. Moisture reduction rate by composting pig manure was 36.7%. Produced during composting was 0.043g/T-Ng.
