Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	The aim of this study was to examine the devitalization effect of natural additives like zeolite-clinoptilolite and its combination with hydrated lime in composted cattle manure on indicator and pathogen bacteria. The composting process was running in three static piles of cattle manure mixed with wheat straw (control, zeolite–lime, and zeolite) for 126 days. Composted manure substrates were determined for physicochemical (temperature, pH, nitrogen and phosphorus content, C/N, organic matter, and moisture) and microbiological analyses (Salmonella spp., indicator bacteria). The effects of additives were reflected in changes in physicochemical factors, e.g., an increase in temperature (

OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	Individual methods of manure management and treatment differently affect the viability of pathogens and the final quality of manure that is used for land application. Inadequate treatment of animal waste presents a risk of contamination to crops, soil, and water sources. This study highlights the impact of natural additives on the microbial population during the composting process. Understanding pathogen survival in manure piles before they are applied to agricultural land is a crucial goal of this study. The results showed that natural zeolite or zeolite–lime combinations improved the composting process. A multitude of factors, including temperature, pH, C/N ratio, moisture content, other physicochemical characteristics, and native microflora, influence bacterial survival during composting. However, they were unable to significantly reduce hygienic indicators, such as the counts of total coliform bacteria, fecal enterococci, and E. coli, at the applied doses. Conversely, Salmonella spp. survived for only 63 days in the control pile and the zeolite pile, and survived for 41 days in the zeolite–lime pile. In summary, this study provides a microbial perspective on the benefits of additives to the microbiome of composted manure. It serves as a reference for future studies on the benefits of additives and the potential microbial risk of composted manure.
