Performance of Lumbricus Rubellus(Red Worm) on Different Animal Wastes

A study was conducted to investigate the comparative of animal wastes on the., lumbricus rubellus mass production and efficiency. In this study,worm ^, s growth performance ,numbers of worms and physic-chemical characteristics of produced vermicompost were tested at in The Environmental studies and Research Institute(ESRI), Genetic engineering and Biotechnology Research Institute (GEBRI )University of Sadat city. Sadat city ,Egypt. during the period from 2018 and 2019. The epigiec earthworm Lumbriscus Rubellus (Red Worm) was provided by Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate (CLAC), Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Indoor system of vermicomposting was used in this investigation for producing the vermicompost, The experiment was counducted under ( 30–34 ^o C) and (70–74%) Humidity ,the examined animal waste were (Cow dung – Horse waste –Sewage sludge –Rabbit droppings) . Results revealed that horse waste showed the highest values of Growth performance,,number of worms was(91.67,87.33,87,62.67)respectively,number of cocoons was(182.3,179,173.3,133.3) respectively, during the process of composting.Total element of nutrient whereas recorded from ( horse waste ,rabbit dropping ,sewage sludge and cow dung),respectively. on the other hand the lowest values Growth performance,,number of worms,number of cocoons resulted with sewage sludge composted.
