any thoughts on usability of carefully pasturized cow poo left outside
in freezing temps? can freezing it effect its sterility/ usability ?
its very easy to thaw out couple hours inside and its good to go.
If it is ok how many days can I keep before I need to do anything with it.
What would that be? a blast in the micro wave? or repasturize?
thanks,

I have stored unused poo in the freezer until needed. I just let it thaw in the fridge for a few days until the ice is gone and then use it.

if it's been frozen most of the time since it was pasteurized
then you're likely good to go once it thaws.
but if it has set around at warmer temperatures several days
then i would re-pasteurize just to be on the safe side,
can't hurt to be careful eh.

What about horse poo left outside in
freezing temps before pasteurization?
Would it still leech?(sp)
I have some came fresh from the
farm not too long ago.
After cleaning all the wood chips out,
I put it out to leech, but freezing temps
weren't far behind. Any suggestions?
Thanks

it froze in the middle of the leeching ?

hmmmm, I thought when you let fresh
H-poo sit outside, I guess like a compost pile,
that was leeching.
In other words, I was under the impression
h-poo can't be used fresh from the farm,
it has to be leeched. So all h-poo I've
worked with, was seperated from the nastys,
wood chips, acorns etc.
And then left outside on a tarp, where I thought
some natural process begins removing urine
from the poo? I could very well be way wrong,
maybe leeching isn't the word?
Anyway, during this time of sitting on a tarp,
temps. have dropped below freezing.
Maybe a week after sitting outside
is when the low temps really came in.
So Im wondering if any special attn.
will be needed (other than unfreezing)
before I can start to pasteurize and use.
Sorry if Im confusing. Or maybe confused! :special:

nah, nothing special. i had big bags of poo out frozen all last winter, thawed just fine.
