The effects of pyrolysis temperature (350, 450, and 550 °C) on the properties of biochar prepared from chicken manure (CM), dairy manure (DM), and their digestates (CMD and DMD) were investigated in this study. The physicochemical properties and the transformation of phosphorous and heavy metal forms in various types of biochar were analyzed, and the bioavailability was assessed to optimize the pyrolysis condition towards biochar land application. The larger specific surface area was found in CM and CMD derived biochars (14.90–22.45 m²/g), as compared to DM and DMD derived biochars (1.17–7.36 m²/g). The highest contents of total phosphorous (TP) and bioavailable non-apatite inorganic phosphorus (NAIP) were obtained in DMD biochar, i.e., 49.31 and 27.03 mg/g TS, respectively. Cu and Zn are identified as the harmful heavy metal elements in manure derived biochars due to its high level of total concentration. When increasing pyrolysis temperature, the fractions of Zn and Cu in exchangeable-, carbonate-, and the organic-bonded state decreased and the fractions of manganese oxidized and residual state increased. Finally, the citric acid leaching treatment was proposed to decrease the Zn and Cu contents in biochar before land application. The overall leaching rates for Cu and Zn were 37–45% and 27–32%, respectively.
