A Survey of Coccidia and Nematodes in Pastured Poultry in the State of Georgia

Avian Diseases, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the parasitological challenge in pastured poultry production in the state of Georgia. Over the course of 1 yr, fecal samples from six turkey flocks, 10 broiler flocks, and 13 layer flocks were collected on a pastured farm in 2-wk intervals to determine counts of Eimeria oocysts and nematode eggs ...

Effects of pasture management on poultry welfare and meat quality in organic poultry production systems

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2015
Outdoor access is a defining characteristic of organic poultry that provides poultry with fresh grass, insects and worms that may lead to enhanced product quality. There is evidence that meat from pastured-based poultry may contain some additional nutritional benefits through lower fat content, as well as higher vitamin and mineral contents.

Pasture-based systems for poultry production: implications and perspectives

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2011
The use of pasture-based systems for poultry production is growing due to consumer demand for specialty ‘natural’ and ‘welfare-friendly’ meat and eggs.

COMPARING THE EFFECTS OF CONVENTIONAL AND PASTURED POULTRY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS ON THE STRESS LEVELS OF BROILERS

2014
The objective of this study was to measure stress levels in broilers raised on a pasture production system (PPS) and a conventional production system (CPS) by evaluating lymphoid organ weights, white blood cell profiles (WBCP), total white blood cell counts (TWBC), and heterophil to lymphocyte ratios (HLR).

Subsurface Application of Poultry Litter in Pasture and No‐Till Soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2011
Poultry litter provides a rich nutrient source for crops, but the usual practice of surface‐applying litter can degrade water quality by allowing nutrients to be transported from fields in surface runoff while much of the ammonia (NH3)–N escapes into the atmosphere.

Ammonia emissions from cattle, pig and poultry wastes applied to pasture

Environmental Pollution, 1989
In four field experiments, carried out in The Netherlands, small wind-tunnels were used to make direct measurements of ammonia (NH(3)) volatilization from different types of slurry and manure applied to the surface of grassland. During periods of up to six days following application, losses of NH(3)-N often amounted to more than 40% of the NH(4)-N ...

Establishing a Small-Scale Pastured Poultry Operation in Kentucky

2022
Pastured poultry is poultry rotationally raised on pasture, as opposed to large-scale confinement operations. There has been a growing demand for pastured poultry as a result of the adverse effects of the use of antibiotics in large-scale caged systems and pastured poultry’s attributable nutritional and economic benefits to consumers.
