Article Synopsis
  • Inadequate management of organic waste can lead to disease spread and environmental harm; vermicomposting offers a solution by converting waste into useful worm biomass for animal feed.

  • The system demonstrated high economic potential, with a 280% return on investment for managing a single cow's manure, and improved hygiene practices could enhance the quality of the vermicompost produced.
