As someone who has worked in the fertilizer machinery industry for many years, I have seen hundreds of entrepreneurs turn “animal waste” into “black gold.” If you are looking for a profitable business that helps the environment, making organic fertilizer is one of the best investments you can make today.
The demand for organic food is growing fast, and that means farmers need more organic fertilizer. But a common question I hear from our clients is: “Which manure should I use to make the best product?” Whether you choose chicken, cow, or pig manure, each one can make a high-quality pellet if you have the right equipment. Let’s look at these materials from a business and production perspective to help you decide which is right for your project.
When you are making organic fertilizer, your choice of raw material determines your “N-P-K” levels (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium) and your market price. Here is how the “Big Three” compare.
Chicken Manure: The Premium Choice
If you want to create a high-end product, chicken manure is the way to go. It is very rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen. In the world of making organic fertilizer, chicken manure pellets are often sold at a premium because they help plants grow quickly and stay strong.
However, as a manufacturer, you must know that chicken manure produces a lot of heat and ammonia during fermentation. To handle this, you need a high-quality compost turner. Once you master the fermentation, chicken manure allows you to market a “high-nutrient” organic fertilizer that professional growers love.
Cow Manure: The Easy-to-Process Choice
Cow manure is perfect if you want a large-scale, stable production line. While it has lower nutrient levels than chicken waste, it is incredibly high in organic matter. This makes it the best choice for improving soil health and water retention.
From a production standpoint, cow manure is very easy to handle. It is fibrous, which helps the pellet-making machine create very strong, round pellets. If you are making organic fertilizer for large farms that grow grains or grass, cow manure is a reliable and popular choice.
Pig Manure: The Versatile Choice
Pig manure is an excellent middle ground. It has a good balance of nutrients and is very effective at feeding the beneficial microbes in the soil. The main thing to watch for when making organic fertilizer from pig waste is the moisture content. Pig manure can be quite wet, so we often recommend adding a dewatering machine or mixing it with dry materials like straw. It creates a very well-rounded fertilizer that works for almost any crop.
As a seller of professional machinery, I can tell you that making organic fertilizer is about more than just having manure. You need a systematic process to turn raw waste into a commercial product that people will actually buy. Here is how a professional line works:
Scientific Fermentation: This is where you kill the germs and the bad smell. We provide advanced compost turners that make this process fast and easy.
Efficient Crushing: To make a smooth pellet, you must first turn the dry compost into a fine powder. Our heavy-duty crushers handle this without any trouble.
The Heart of the Line—Granulation: This is the most important step in making organic fertilizer. Our stirring pin granulators take that powder and turn it into uniform, hard pellets. Pellets are easier to transport and much easier for farmers to spread on their fields.
Drying and Cooling: You can’t bag wet pellets. Our drying and cooling systems ensure your product is stable and has a long shelf life.
Smart Packaging: Finally, an automatic bagging machine makes your product look professional and ready for the store shelves.

The “best” manure for making organic fertilizer is usually the one that is closest to your factory. If you have a chicken farm nearby, use chicken manure to make a high-nutrient product. If you are in cattle country, cow manure will give you a high-volume, soil-building product.
The secret to a successful business in making organic fertilizer is consistency. Farmers want a product that is dry, clean, and always the same size. Our machines are designed to give you that consistency every single day.
| Manure Type | Market Value | Production Focus | Main Benefit |
| Chicken | High (Premium) | Fermentation control | Fastest plant growth |
| Cow | Moderate (High Volume) | Large-scale capacity | Best for soil health |
| Pig | Moderate (Balanced) | Moisture management | Good for all crops |
The world is moving toward green agriculture, and there is no better time to join this industry. By making organic fertilizer, you are solving a waste problem for farms and a nutrient problem for plants. It is a win-win business.
