Earthworm species consumed waste and the changes monitored during this period.
| Type of waste | No. of eggs | No. of infant worms | Waste consumed by worm | Days to complete | Initial pH of waste | Weight of waste (kg) | No. of adults (earthworms) |
| Sample 1 Mixed waste, cow dung, sheep dung, decomposed wood, powered wood, broiler droppings, pigeon droppings, leaves | 40 eggs recorded | 20 | Aporrectodea Caliginosa | 72 days | 7.6 | 5 | 150 | Sample 2 Cow dung, sheep dung | 25 | 25 | Eudrilus eugeniae | 60 | 7.8 | 5 | 100 | Sample 3 Sheep dung | 20 | 15 | Aporrectodea caliginosa | 60 | 7.2 | 5 | 88 |
