As previously mentioned, every grower will be faced with removing old litter from broiler houses. Broiler companies place the responsibility to properly dispose of broiler litter and bird mortality on the contract grower. The amount of manure produced annually for each broiler house can be substantial. It is a good rule of thumb to consider that 0.5 pound of litter is produced from every pound of meat produced. For example, a 4-broiler house farm marketing 4-pound broilers could generate approximately 340 tons of manure/year. The clean-out time may occur during the winter when litter is not needed for crop growth. As a result, the poultry grower should have an adequate storage facility for the litter until the spring and summer months.
