| description | Vermiculture as a biotechnology allows the cultivation or breeding of worms, in order to manage organic waste in vermicompost or vermicompost, mainly animal excreta that cause negative impact on the environment. The objective was to evaluate the production, reproduction, increase in biomass of Eisenia foetida and conversion of substrate into vermicompost. Five treatments of pre-composted manure were used: cattle (1:0), sheep (0:1) and the 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 mass/mass combinations, with three replicates. 100 worms were placed per replicate and the number and mass gain were determined. At 90 days, an analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α=0.05) were performed. The 1:3 combination showed the highest reproduction, while the 1:0 combination showed the highest increase in mass (46.16 g). Regarding the conversion of manure into vermicompost, the most efficient treatment was 1:3 because the proportion of the substrate mixture was more accepted and digested by the worms and 1:0 was the lowest. |

La vermicultura, como biotecnología, permite el cultivo o la crianza de lombrices, con el fin de gestionar los residuos orgánicos en vermicomposta o lombricomposta, principalmente de excretas animales que ocasionan impactos negativos al ambiente. El objetivo fue evaluar la producción, reproducción y el incremento de biomasa de Eisenia foetida y conversión de sustrato en vermicomposta. A partir de estiércol precomposteado se utilizaron cinco tratamientos: bovino (1:0), ovino (0:1) y las combinaciones 3:1, 1:1 y 1:3 masa/masa, con tres repeticiones. Se establecieron 100 lombrices por repetición y se determinaron cantidad y ganancia en masa. A los 90 días se hizo un análisis de varianza y prueba de Tukey (α=0.05). La combinación 1:3 presentó la mayor reproducción, mientras que el incremento de masa 1:0 fue de 46,16 g. Con respecto a la conversión de estiércol en vermicomposta, el tratamiento con mayor eficiencia fue el 1:3, debido a que la proporción de la mezcla de sustratos fue más aceptada y digerida por las lombrices, mientras que 1:0 fue el menor.
