CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION
  • BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Wastes are everywhere. These substances are unpleasant to see and also bring harmful effects to our health and environment. Example of this waste is the manure of the animals like the cow.

Cow dung causes a problem when these are just leave behind the sidewalks streets or in an open field. If these substances decomposed in places like these , though the manure are gone but the micro organisms they carried still remain. And we should not treat these organisms as small issues because these can destroy our health especially when these are stick to our food, mixed with the water we drink, or touched by our bare feet and hands.

The only way to stop these troubles is to decompose these wastes in a right process and could use it as fertilizer to plants. This research wants to know if this manure decomposed, if it’s could be a better fertilizer and brings a better effect on the growth of the plant. (Carlo, 2007)

  • AIM/OBJECTIVES

The aim of this research is to determine the elemental content of Cow Dung, its total nitrogen and organic matter. The objective includes comparing the values with other animal waste and recommending its use as manure.

  • SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

This study is limited only to the dung of cows. Urines and other parts of cow are not included in this research study. Other parameters to be considered are total nitrogen, organic matter and the macro minerals. Due to time and finance constraint, few parameters were used for the analysis.

  • SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This work will be significant to farmers because it will help those plants growers to know cow manure could be a better substitute on their usually used fertilizers.

1.5     ANALYSIS OF DATA

This raw data obtained in this work shall be analyzed using simple percentages, mean and standard deviation.

  • DEFINITION OF RELATED TERMS

Cow: This is a large female animal kept on farms to produce milk or beef.

HERE IS WHAT OUR HAPPY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

    

I actually googled and saw about projectmaster.com.ng, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes.

    

I received excellent customer support, and quickly. Thank you so much!

    

I love your service! I would recommend projectmaster.com.ng to anyone. What a great find!

    

I am aware of online scam but because of the hectic nature of writing project, I decided to try sourcing for help online and to my surprise, projectmaster.com.ng gave complete project in less than 5 minutes. I could not believe it sincerely. Thank you so much guys.
