The amount of time it takes will depend on how often the manure is turned, what type of bedding was used, and the nitrogen content of the manure pile. It should however take about four to six months to break down, although if it is intended to go onto a garden where food will be grown it needs to be composted for about one year before use.

Difference between farmyard manure and compost manure?
Manure is manure is manure. Humanure, cow manure, horse manure, it's all poo. Compost manure is just manure that's been composted (left to rot and break down). Most manure starts off hot, literally, it heats up as it begins to break down. You don't want to put that on your plants, because it's too strong. You want to compost it first. Let it sit for a year and then use it. The only "cold" manures that I know of are rabbit and worms. You can take it straight from their enclosures and put it directly in your garden. Bird droppings might be cold too, but I'm not positive on that.
What is considered composted horse manure?
Composted manure of any farm animal is manure that has been composted properly for the amount of time necessary to completely break down the material into it's basic organic components. Composted material is best identified by sight and touch: It is black, loose, crumbly, moist and has no smell to speak of. How long it takes to compost manure, or any other organic material, depends on the mixtutre of materials in the pile, moisture, aeration (turned piles compost much faster) and temperature. In a well maintained compost pile in summertime, complete composting can take place in as little as six weeks. When farmers spread horse manure "raw" on a field, they are assuming it will have three to six months breakdown time before that field is planted.
How can you make compost by using machines?
A Big compost pile. If for example you were cleaning out a horse barn, cow barn or chicken barn you could pile all the manure, old hay and straw using a skid loader. Make it a nice long row of compost about 4 to 6 feet high and 4 to 6 feet wide and as long as you want. Come back to the pile every 2 or 3 weeks and flip it with the skid loader to let more air into it. You will have nice compost in no time. If you want to have good compost you will need to push all your manure into a liquid pit. Then you will need to pump the liquid manure into a separator, which will make the manure have a moisture of 40-60%. This is then to be piled up in a stock pile until hauled to a field to be piled into windrows. You will pile it as high as your windrow turner is. Your then to check the temperature of the manure, when it reaches 145-165 Degrees you need to turn the pile with a windrow turner. Add water as needed to keep the compost between 40 and 60%. After a period of 90 days it should be ready. You will now take all the compost in the wind row and pile it in a stock pile, let it sit for 30 days to cure. After this 30 days it then can be marketed after you get the soil samples from it.

Is the best fertilizer compost or manure or fertilizer with pesticide or time release liquid fertilizer?
Compost, manure and time release fertilizers tend to be more effective than fertilizers with pesticides.Specifically, compost and manure are organic fertilizers that add to soil fertility, encourage well structured soil particles and promote air and water pore spaces. Manure nevertheless has to be monitored since it is so nitrogen rich. Monitoring also may be a concern with time release liquid fertilizers, which get the job done well but take time. It also must be a concern with fertilizers with pesticides since the suppression of one pesty problem may bring on another.
