Patent ID: 7442224

Claim:
A method of making a fertilizer composition comprising decontaminated manure and Bacillus spores, the method comprising the steps of: a) treating raw manure to form a substantially decontaminated manure by a process selected from: 1) composting the raw manure in a composting process to make a partially decontaminated raw manure, and solar drying the partially decontaminated raw manure in a solar drying process to make the substantially decontaminated manure; 2) reacting the raw manure with concentrated mineral acid to make the partially decontaminated manure, and subsequently drying the partially decontaminated manure in a drying process to form the substantially decontaminated manure; 3) reacting the raw manure with a hypochlorite compound to make the partially decontaminated manure, and subsequently drying the partially decontaminated manure in a drying process to form the substantially decontaminated manure; and 4) combinations of these; and b) combining the substantially decontaminated manure with a second composition comprising Bacillus spores to produce the fertilizer composition.
