AB  - Animal by-products (ABP), containing mainly rabbit and chicken carcasses were 
      composted at laboratory scale. Results indicate that if proper conditions are 
      used, wastes can be successfully composted and stabilised meeting current 
      European hygienisation standards regarding the disposal of this type of wastes. 
      During the process, temperatures above 60 degrees C were easily reached and 
      maintained for 2 days at least, due to the high energy potential of these 
      materials. However, care must be taken to ensure that these temperatures are 
      reached in the entire reactor to guarantee proper hygienisation of the material. 
      These high temperatures may bring about operational problems such as moisture 
      losses due to very high airflows required for their control. Biological activity 
      indices, such as respiration index (RI) and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) used for the 
      monitoring of the process, were able to indicate potential and actual conditions 
      within the composting reactor, respectively.
