Executive Summary
Nowadays, increasing number of populations, industries and agricultural activities in Malaysia
produced large amounts of organic wastes such as sewage sludge, livestock manure,
industrial sludges and others thus creating economical and environmental problems.
Background & Problem
Thereby, this research is an attempt to promote proper waste management via organic
fertilizer production applying earthworms assisted bioremediation technique. Specifically, this
research objectives are i) to study the potential of various types of sludges, animal and
agricultural wastes as organic fertilizer using vermiculture technology and ii) to determine
earthworms basic chemical properties that suitable for medicinal purposes and iii) to
investigate the antioxidant, anti-aging and skin-whitening properties of earthworms extract for
cosmeceutical application.
Objectives
Pot trial experiment will be conducted under greenhouse conditions involving 5 types of
sludge, 5 types of worm species and 4 types of organic wastes with 4 replicates and 6
mixtures ratios for each treatment levels using factorial arrangement of treatment design.
Physico-chemical analysis including heavy metals accumulation in the vermicompost, sludge
and earthworms bioactive ingredients will be analysed using atomic absorption
spectrophotometer and high performance liquid chromatograpy.
Method
At the end of the experiment, it is expected that we will discover the potential ability of different
types of sludge produced in Malaysia as an organic fertilizer using vermiculture approach. In
addition, the ultimate aim is to produce high quality of sludge-based vermicompost and get
basic knowledge of earthworm potential use for human healthcare.
