| Abstract | ||||
| Treating the liquids of the organic animal urine loaded with microbial materials is highly significant. So, employing bio-activated carbon (AC) for rabbit urine purification is a major factor in avoiding and spreading diseases. The rabbit urine may be used after treating as a good bio-fertilizer. Therefore, this research aims to identify the best components for bio-filter to purify and treat rabbit urine can used. The investigated bio-filter components were: I- Two layers of filter paper + one layer of “AC” with 5.0 cm height, II- Two layers of filter paper + one layer of AC with 5.0 cm height between two layers of sand with 4.0 cm height, and III- Two layers of filter paper + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height + one layer of AC with 5.0 cm height + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height + one layer of sand with 4.0 cm height + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height. The measurements were conducted to determine the quality of the liquid produced as standard fertilizer under different treatments in three replications. The results indicated that the possibility of applying AC, which was made from date palm kernels, as a bio-filter media. This bio-filter was acceptable with all the tested treatments due to the ability to purify impurities such as; aspect (light to clear), sedimentation, pH (5.0 to 6.0), pus cells (3.0 to 6.0), red blood cells (1.0 to 4.0), organisms (non), and colony count (non). | ||||
