Amount of straw, carbon/nitrogen ratio, layering and temperature of piles, moisture and oxygen content, presence of micro-organisms, pathogens and weed seeds, and types of manure are factors that affect decomposition of composted manure. Temperatures have to range between 110 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (43.33 to 71.11 degrees Celsius) while 40 to 65 percent of pore spaces must have moisture, versus 35 to 60 percent for air. The carbon to nitrogen ratio of manure to bedding must be 30 to 1 while oxygen content needs to be 5 percent.
