Present study was conducted during the year 2016 (January-March for winter trail and May-July for summer trail) to assess the economics of fermentation of poultry farm waste under the agro-climatic conditions of Kashmir Valley in the Division of Livestock Production and Management, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry (SKUAST- Kashmir). Poultry farm waste in the form of poultry carcass and poultry litter was selected for this purpose. nine treatments formulated for fermentation were: T1: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter, T2:Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @1.0 %, T3:Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @0.5 %, T4: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Yeast @1.0 %, T5: Poultry carcass +Poultry litter + Yeast @0.5 %, T6: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus@ 1% + Yeast @ 0.5%, T7: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 1% + Yeast @ 1%, T8: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 0.5% + Yeast @ 0.5% and T9: Poultry carcass + Poultry litter + Lactobacillus @ 0.5% + Yeast @1%. Each treatment was having three replicates. The total profit for fermentation (winter + summer) was highest (Rs. 127.51) in T6 and lowest (Rs. 121.85) in T3. Net profit per bin was highest (Rs. 5.67) in T8 and lowest (Rs. 86.04) in T2. Similarly profit/kg of end product was highest (Rs. 3.12) in T1 and lowest (Rs. 2.99) in T6.
