How to Make Liquid Fertilizer from Goat Manure Easily and Practically 

One of the advantages of liquid organic fertilizer is that the concentrate is more easily absorbed by plants, liquid organic fertilizer is also more effective for increasing plant growth. The ingredient that should not be forgotten for this fertilizer is goat manure, yes, we can learn how to make liquid fertilizer from goat manure easily from several sources. As with manure that has the same content, liquid fertilizer from goat manure can also be applied directly to plants.

However, even though it is superior in several respects, liquid fertilizer has a number of shortcomings, including the nutrients contained in liquid fertilizer are more susceptible to loss due to erosion.

There are 2 types of Liquid Fertilizer Making

According to the method of manufacture, liquid fertilizers are divided into two types. The first is organic fertilizer that is dissolved in water before its application, organic fertilizer that is dissolved or diluted can be in the form of any fertilizer such as compost, manure, or a mixture of both.

Although it is more instant and practical in getting it, there are many complaints about its use and application in plants. This fertilizer has a suspension that is less stable and easy to settle, in terms of storage it does not last long.

While the second is a fertilizer made by fermenting organic materials with the help of living organisms. This fertilizer, of course, has a more stable suspension because the nutrients in it are completely liquid. Well, on this occasion, we will learn to make this second type of liquid fertilizer, the main ingredient is none other than goat manure.

How to Make Liquid Fertilizer from Goat Manure

First, we prepare the materials needed in advance, including the following:

• Goat dung
• Brown sugar / granulated sugar
• Bioactivator
• Used sack
• Rabbit urine (you can use goat urine)
• Foliage
• Water
• plastic barrel
• Ways of making:

After these materials have been collected, we will now begin the process of making liquid fertilizer from goat manure, follow these steps:

1. Mix goat dung together with brown sugar / granulated sugar to taste into a plastic barrel

2. Then slowly put the chopped leaves into a plastic barrel

3. Add clean water and stir all ingredients until well blended. The amount of water used is as much as half of the organic material that has been added first

4. The next step, we prepare some additional ingredients such as sugar, rabbit urine, and bioactivator

5. The sugar and bioactivator must be mixed or dissolved with 5 L of clean water first

6. Put the additional ingredients that have been wrinkled into a plastic barrel that has been filled with the main ingredients. The ideal percentage for mixing these ingredients is 70% liquid, 30% solid.

7. The process of making liquid fertilizer from goat manure has entered the final stage, after all the ingredients are mixed in a plastic barrel, now is the time to store the semi-finished fertilizer mixture. Close the plastic barrel tightly, and make a hole for the hose on the top side. You can see it in the image we have provided.

8. Connect the hose to a bottle filled with water, the goal is to keep the temperature inside the barrel stable even without the help of outside oxygen

9. The storage will last for approximately 10 – 20 days before it can be opened. A sign that we can use as a benchmark is if the barrel smells like tape from the inside, it means that the barrel is ready to be opened.

10. The next process is to filter the fertilizer mixture to separate the liquid part from the pulp, which we will use later is the liquid part.

11. Liquid fertilizer from goat manure can be applied to plants, store the fertilizer in a jirigen or plastic bottle. Can be directly poured into the soil media, or sprayed onto plant parts.

The advantage of liquid fertilizer from goat manure is that it can help improve soil structure that has been lost, because this liquid fertilizer contains many micro-nutrients which are greater in number than chemical fertilizers. The impact is of course more optimal plant growth, nutrient deficiencies such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) can be overcome by enriching these elements in the soil.

Application of liquid fertilizer from goat manure can be done once a week, with a dose of 1 cup per plant. For application to horticultural crops, use 15 cc of liquid fertilizer and mix it with 1 L of water.

Nutrient Content in Liquid Fertilizer from Goat Manure

Based on research, nutrient levels in liquid fertilizer from goat manure include:

Elements of N, K, and organic-C in abiourine or bioculture are higher than urine or feces that have not been fermented.

Although some of the nutrients as we mentioned above increase, but the element P juste

• After the bottom and sides of the bag are perfectly sewn, then next you can glue the top of the bag. But the top of this bag is not directly glued.

You need to first glue the zipper on each side of the top of the bag. After the zipper is installed, you can check whether the zipper is functioning perfectly.
