The mean microbial count revealed decreasing trend for totai coliform, total and fungal in the digestate as against their higher values in the feedstock. However, the presence of Salmonella., Klebsiella and total coliforms in the digestate suggests that it may not be safe to apply the digeloss state as fertilizer without further treatment. Because of the easy loss ammonia nitrogen to voloatisation, the storage and application of the composted digestate should be carefully controlled to prevent negative impacts on the environment. This study recommends longer retention period of 90 days ( mesophilic ) and shorter retention period of 30 days ( thermophilic ) for a better quality biofertilizer than obtained in this study in terms of pathogens destruction.
