Aviagen does not recommend the reuse of litter. Although the reuse of litter from flock to flock is poor
practice, it is understood that this may be unavoidable in regions where the supply and cost of providing
new litter for each flock is prohibitive. If the reuse of litter is unavoidable, the process must be well managed
if loss of flock performance is to be minimized. One of the most common methods of treating used litter is
by composting it and creating “windrows” inside the house. Using these techniques properly is not an easy
task and should be approached with caution and methodologies should be in place to measure levels of
moisture and especially contamination with pathogens and harmful materials
