Sterilizing liquid manure?

17 years ago

I'd like to prepare an organic liquid fertilizer using llama manure but I'm concerned about possible pathogens. How would it work to first soak the manure in warm water for 24 hours, then strain off the liquid and then heat (boil?) the liquid for a period of time to kill any pathogens? How hot would I need to heat the liquid? How long would it need to be held at that temperature? Would this destroy much of the nitrogen or other nutrients?

Thanks for any advice!
