ABSTRACT
Studies were conducted on the chemical composition of goat (Capraaegagrus) dung using standard procedures. The results indicated that the sample (100g) contained potassium (3.62±0.01%), phosphorus (2.45±0.01%). The results also indicate that goat dung, because of its composition can improve soil major nutrients.
Keyword: Organic matter, potassium, phosphorus Capraaegagrus Hircus dung.
