I've read that in The Philippines, chicken manure is mixed with pure rice
hull, carbonised rice hull, some 'beneficial' bacteriae (Lactobacillus
something) to treat soil acidity and attract nitrogen, degrading
bacteriae or enzymes, and micro-nutrients, to produce a compost which is
high in nitrogen, has a high silicon content in a form ready for take-in
by the plant.
I think one could call this a 'manufactured organic fertiliser'?
