The poultry business is quickly growing and generates millions of tonnes of feather waste each year. The justifiable use of keratinaceous byproducts is required due to the widespread production of industrial wastes that contain these materials. Many studies say that the chemical treatment of keratin waste is an eco-destructive method since it produces secondary contaminants. Keratin waste may be effectively treated by using keratinase, a digestive enzyme produced by a range of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). The treatment of the resistant pollutant keratin as well as the production of the commercially significant enzyme keratinase are two advantages of the new and environmentally beneficial method of microbial degradation of keratin waste. In this work, fungal species are isolated, described, and potentially used to break down waste chicken feathers through submerged and solid-state fermentation. Aspergillus (A.) flavus was recognized and described as an isolated fungus. In a 30-day study, it seemed that A. flavus in submerged and solid-state fermentation processes lowered the weight of the feathers by 74 and 8 percent, respectively. In submerged fermentation, the growth media's pH was raised from 4.8 to 8.35. Therefore, it is advised to use keratinolytic microorganisms to treat keratinaceous wastes in order to get remediation advantages on both sides.
