The aim of this study was to examine the rate of Ascaris suum egg inactivation in meat wastes subjected to different sanitisation technologies. The wastes were composted in a drum bioreactor and fermented under mesophilic (37°C) and thermophilic (55°C) conditions. A suspension with fertilised eggs of A. suum was introduced into perlon sacks and placed in waste biomass. They were removed at fixed-time intervals and the percentage of live eggs was calculated. The eggs were inactivated the earliest during thermophilic fermentation and their total time of survival amounted to approximately 10 h. The full inactivation of eggs during composting was obtained after 72 h, while in the course of mesophilic fermentation. No live eggs were detected on 14th d. All the sanitisation technologies analysed ensured the environmental safety of product obtained.
