TAIPING Zoo has taken the lead in turning animal waste into manure,Its director Dr Muhamad Ridhwan Affendi said the zoo and night safari park had been making organic fertiliser using elephant dung.Previously, the animal faeces were dumped at the Matang landfill about 15km away, he added.
“Now, we produce between 300kg and 500kg of manure daily for the park’s own use,” he said. Dr Muhamad Ridhwan said the park planned to purchase a machine to process fertiliser and to collect the waste of more herbivores such as deer and goats. “When everything is in place, we can produce 500 bags of organic fertiliser daily and sell them. Each bag of 2.5kg fertiliser can be sold at RM6,” he added. >A helpless husband was seen slapping himself after failing to stop his more than 150kg wife from eating supper in China.It is believed the wife had sneaked out to eat fried drumsticks in the wee hours of the morning.
