Biothermic Pit

(also Beccari pit, Piriatin pit, Czech pit), a structure for disposing of animal carcasses. It is built according to a standard design from moisture- and heatproof material, and it has a hermetic roof and openings for the influx of air. In 20 days after the chamber is loaded with carcasses, the temperature rises to 65° C. The process of carcass disintegration is concluded in 35 to 40 days, with the formation of a homogeneous and odorless compost which may be used as fertilizer. A biothermic pit has a significant advantage over cattle graveyards in that it ensures the quick destruction of many microbes.
