    abstract = {In this study, we investigated the effect of microbes on the composting of pig manure. <I>Geotrichum candidum</I>,<I> Yarrowia lipolytica</I>, <I> Bacillus coagulans</I>, <I>Bacillus stearothermophilus </I>and <I>Nocardia</I> sp. were isolated from fresh pig feces. Fifteen different combinations of these microorganisms were added to a mixture of pig manure and sawdust for composting. An orthogonal, fractional factorial experimental design consisting of five factors and two levels was used. Statistical analysis indicated that <I>Geotrichum candidum </I>plus <I>Bacillus stearothermophilus </I>was the most effective combination. The results indicated that the addition of microbes to feces raised the maximum temperature of composting from 67-72&deg;C and elevated the available nutrients by 9.5%.}
