I am actually an Industrial Engineer. I just graduated last March 2020. Unfortunately I am still unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I will share to you guys the struggles I had in my college days. As an Industrial Engineering Student, we need to make 2 thsesis books and one of them is the feasibility study. In a fesibility study, a group of students need to create their own company and manufactured their own product, project future sales and income. Have you ever heard about chicken bones used as fertilizer. I dont know about other countries but in my country we still dont heard about it. Thats why we decided to make this as our feasibility product.
The photo above is the finished product. Chicken bones has lots of essential nutrients beneficial to plants. This can be applied to our agricultural farms.
The process of making powdered chicken bones is very simple. Its as follows:
Boiling(in this process, it will helps us to easily separate chicken meat from the bones)
Heating(heating can reduced the hardness of the bones and we can easily crushed them into powder)
Crushing(this time the chicken bones will be crush into fine powder)
Note: You can add additional components for your fertilizer like banana peelings.
In a feasbility study, we consider all aspects. Be it Production, Financial, Plant Location, Suppliers and Potential Consumers. The photo below is our designed plant layout and its respected areas.
I am glad to tell you that we successfully defended our feasilbility study. We the joint effort of all the members.
Thank you for reading this article. Stay safe always.
Bonemeal, from various animals, has been used as a fertilizer a long time. It was even used as a dietary mineral (mainly calcium) supplement for humans before, but that was discontinued due to contamination with heavy metals like lead. It's still used as a dietary supplement for animals though.
