Preparation of compost from animal hair waste | Principal Scientific Adviser

overview

This technology converts over 35,000 tons of keratin-rich animal hair waste from India’s tanning industry into nitrogen-rich keratin hydrolysate through biochemical hydrolysis. The hydrolysate acts as an organic supplement and biofertilizer, promoting soil fertility and crop yields. Training, demonstration, and troubleshooting support are provided.
