How large a carcass can be put in the composter?
Mature sows and boars (300 to 600 pounds) have been successfully composted. Longer composting times are required for larger carcasses. However, six months of active (temperatures 130 degrees Fahrenheit or above) composting time should be sufficient for most swine carcasses. These carcasses are composted whole (no cleaving or cutting up of the carcass).
