1.1 Introduction
The breeding of a large number of animals in China has given birth to the problem of
rational treatment of livestock and poultry manure [1]. As wastes, the organic matter in
livestock and poultry manure is not fully recycled. These huge manure yields are worrying,
because the non-standard treatment of these wastes will also cause many environmental
problems, which pollutes soil and water bodies [2]. Aware of the threat that it may contain
excessive microplastics [3]. Yet it is a potential sustainable resource with great energy. More
and more people think of using composting technology for organic waste treatment [4,5]. In
different treatment methods, composting is more convenient, economically effective, and pro-
duces more stable organic fertilizer [6]. Simultaneously, vermicomposting with earthworms is
