Cattle waste compost (511 samples) was collected from various locations around Iwate Prefecture and was analyzed based on appearance and composition to better characterize the compost produced in the prefecture. The results of the cattle dung compost analysis were compared to the results obtained in the past (1983) and it was found that moisture readings had decreased and component content had increased. Based on the results of the appearance evaluation and composition analysis of cattle waste composts, the standards for evaluating decomposition levels and precautions, etc. were specified. These standards were systematized using Microsoft Access and the "Cattle Waste Compost Evaluation System" was developed. The system combines a function to evaluate the characteristics of cattle waste compost with a database that contains information such as compost producer, costs, etc.
