The mean microbial count revealed decreasing trend in total
coliform, total aerobic plate and fungal in the biofertilizer digestate
as against their higher values in the feedstock (Table 2). This agrees
with (Shu-Hsien et al., 2007) that microbial population has a
tendency to decrease within the first seven days of anaerobic
digestion due to acidic environment and then remains steady
during the biofertilizer preparation.
