Poultry manure has long been recognized as perhaps the most desirable of…natural fertilizers because of its high nitrogen content. In addition, manures supply other essential nutrients and serve as a soil amendment by adding organic matter. Organic matter in soil improves water and nutrient retention. The use of manure is an integral part of sustainable agriculture.
1) Never feed fresh chicken manure to young, tender plants! Fresh chicken manure is “hot,” meaning it is very high in nitrogen and will “burn” the growing plants. This will kill your plants! Also, too much nitrogen can produce negative plant growth. This is why you need to age your chicken manure!
2) Poultry manure makes a great addition to compost! I recently received an “Earth Machine” composting bin as part of my local county government’s initiative to reduce green waste in Hawaii’s landfills. Although you do not need a “real” composter to compost, it can save you time. Whether or not you use an actual composter, any sort of composting converts nitrogen into a form that a plant can use without being burned. Composting also destroys the coccidia bacteria (a chicken disease), bacteria, worm eggs, and viruses, and stabilizes potash and nitrogen levels. Any composter will do, from the fancy type you see in Organic Gardening magazine, to simple homemade bins made of 2x4s and chicken wire.
Regularly we supply poultry waste to all over tamilnadu and kerala. Transport changes may vary based on places.
Where poultry litter is used as fertiliser and spread evenly across a pasture at rates consistent with such use, the pasture may be grazed by stock without contravening the ruminant feed ban or poultry litter ban.
The risks when used sensibly as fertiliser are considered insignificant in terms of BSE transmission. This is also consistent with international standards that allow for meat and bone meal to be used as pasture fertiliser but not as stock feed. It is highly advisable to keep stock from the fertilised paddock for at least three weeks to minimise their risk of developing botulism, salmonellosis or mastitis. Ideally, the litter/manure should be ploughed into the soil and time given for the grass to grow to a height where close grazing to the ground will not occur.
Ruminants must not be fed or given access to poultry feed (or any RAM-containing feed such as pig feed) when it has been spilt around sheds or silos or from trucks, or has been spoiled or discarded. Fences may have to be erected to protect these areas. RAM-containing feeds if spilt or discarded can only be fed to non ruminants such as other poultry or pigs.
Similarly, ruminants must be kept away from poultry litter or manure where it has been dumped, stored or spilt in paddocks or in or around sheds. Fences may have to be erected to protect these areas. Truck drivers delivering litter/manure to a farm should be instructed not to put it in paddocks where there are ruminants and to provide copies of this agnote to their farming customers.
