Carcass Composting

Carcass Composting is a biological decomposition method that treats animal remains through controlled aerobic microbial activity to convert dead bird carcasses into stable organic material, distinguishing it from other disposal techniques by its reliance on natural degradation processes to simultaneously manage pathogens and generate soil-amendable byproducts.
