Alum Treatment of Poultry Litter

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2004
ABSTRACTWhile the poultry industry is a major economic benefit to several areas in the USA, land application of poultry litter to recycle nutrients can lead to impaired surface and ground water quality. Amending poultry litter with alum [Al3(SO4)2·14H2O] has received considerable attention as a method of economically reducing ammonia volatilization in ...

Trace Element Speciation in Poultry Litter

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2003
ABSTRACTTrace elements are added to poultry feed for disease prevention and enhanced feed efficiency. High concentrations are found in poultry litter (PL), which raises concerns regarding trace element loading of soils. Trace metal cation solubility from PL may be enhanced by complexation with dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Mineralization of organo–As

Arsenic Speciation and Reactivity in Poultry Litter

Environmental Science & Technology, 2003
Recent U.S. government action to lower the maximum concentration levels (MCL) of total arsenic (As) (10 ppb) in drinking water has raised serious concerns about the agricultural use of As-containing biosolids such as poultry litter (PL). In this study, solid-state chemical speciation, desorbability, and total levels of As in PL and long-term amended ...

Litter Mites and their Effects on Poultry

World's Poultry Science Journal, 1970
Much of ectoparasitic arthropods to the poultry industry, and also of the means for their control (e.g. Furman, 1963; Simco and Lancaster, 1965; Anon. 1969). The same cannot be said, however, of all the non-parasitic arthropods which live in association with poultry, about which almost nothing has been published.

Botulism in cattle associated with poultry litter

Veterinary Record, 2011
WHEREAS botulism in ruminants was an extremely rare disease in the British Isles until the beginning of the current millennium, hundreds of suspect outbreaks have been reported in the UK, Ireland and several European countries since then. In a paper summarised on p 640 of this issue, Payne and others (2011) report that 168 cattle and 19 sheep incidents

Co-Composted Poultry Mortalities and Poultry Litter

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 1994
Poultry farmers have initiated co-composting poultry mortalities and poultry litter as an alternative method of carcass disposal. The objective of this study was to determine chemical properties of co-compost and to survey poultry producers' composting practices. Samples were obtained from 30 dead-bird composters in six Alabama counties.

LABORATORY CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTRACTABLE PHOSPHORUS IN POULTRY LITTER AND POULTRY LITTER ASH

Soil Science, 2006
One method for handling excess poultry litter (PL) is burning. Implementation of this practice would reduce the volume of PL available for land application while generating electricity. Poultry litter ash (PLA), the by-product of burning PL, contains high concentrations of P, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which could be used as fertilizers ...

Poultry litter as a fuel

World's Poultry Science Journal, 1993
In the UK about 1.4 million tonnes of used poultry litter are produced each year. Its disposal by direct use as a fertilizer or by landfill can, in some circumstances, have an adverse environmental impact. Waste-to-energy schemes which generate revenue from the energy produced and may provide fertilizer as a valuable byproduct offer an alternative and ...

The Microbiology of Built Up Poultry Litter

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1965
The numbers of viable bacteria in built up poultry litter were found to be 10 10 ‐10 11 /g fresh weight and appeared to be little affected by factors such as age, temperature, moisture content and pH.

Properties of Fractionated Poultry Litter

2008 Providence, Rhode Island, June 29 - July 2, 2008, 2008
Due to environmental issues with the use of poultry litter for land application, alternative means for its value added utilization need to be identified. One possible solution is the fractionating of poultry litter into a nutrient rich fine fraction that can be used as fertilizer and a coarser fraction that has the potential of being used as bioenergy ...
