A comparative study was conducted among indigenous earthworms Perionyx ceylanensis and Lampito mauritii to evaluate the suitability for vermicomposting of poultry industry wastes poultry droppings amended with sugar industrial by product press mud for large scale vermicompost production. Therefore, a comparative study was conducted among P. ceylanensis and L. mauritii for the assessment of their efficiency in vermicomposting of poultry droppings. Vermicomposting of poultry droppings (PD) amended with press mud (PM) takes 90 days of time, resulted in significance difference between the two species in their growth and reproduction performance. Different vermitreatments of both worms having different proportions of PD and PM were established and monitored growth and fecundity of the earthworms for 90 days. Result revealed that maximum worm biomass gain was observed in control, i.e., 100% PM and the lowest in 20% PM+ 80% PD feed mixture. Correspondingly, cocoon numbers and hatchlings production was significantly more in all the vermitreatments except in vermitreatments having more than 50% PD for both worms. Hence, from this study it was concluded that higher percentage of PD in different vermitreatments significantly affected the growth and reproduction of both species of worms.
