Alternative Energy Solutions
Alternative energy solutions for poultry farms can include burning litter as a substitute for propane, thereby reducing litter application to fields saturated with phosphate and potash.
This strategy can reduce grower expenses, improve brooding conditions, and allow for recycling litter ash nutrients instead of land application in sensitive watersheds. Litter ash minerals including calcium, phosphorus, and potash can be recycled as both plant and animal mineral supplements.
