During the present study evaluation of microbiological and chemical determinations of the raw poultry and the fermented poultry waste manure was conducted. Highest bacterial count was reported in raw poultry manure with a value of 8.59 the bacterial count was minimum in fish feed with a value of 4.07 while it was 6.50 in fermented poultry manure. The results of the chemical determinations revealed the pH of the raw poultry with higher values of 8.7±0.1 while for fermented poultry manure the pH was 4.0±0.5. The ash level in raw poultry reported was 20.1±1.5. Similarly crude protein content was higher in raw poultry manure with a value of 24.6±2.6 while it was 22.9±3.4 in fermented poultry manure. Non protein nitrogen was lower in raw poultry manure (0.15±0.1) as compared to fermented poultry manure (0.36±0.5).
