ABSTRACT
The organic fertilization seems to be one of the suitable solutions to solve the problem and to overcome the biological, chemical and physical affluence problems of the soils. This study has as target to make a chemical and physical characterization of the organic substrates of animal origin used in the outskirts and in the urban agricultures. Hence, some manure from seven (7) categories of animals were identified and took away on different areas and were analysed in a laboratory to determine pH, dry matter (DM) and mineral matter (MM). The results reveal that the lowest contents of DM (91.1% of DM) and of MM (25.5% of MM) were respectively obtained in the poultry droppings and in pigs manure. Likewise, the sheep, cattle and goats manures were basic (pH varying from 7.9 to 8.3) while the ones of donkeys, pigs, poultry and rabbits were neutral (pH varying from 7.6 to 7). The results offer the possibilities to optimize their recovering as fertilizers for the crops or affluences for the soils.
