Poultry litter: from by-product to a resource for the circular farm economy
In poultry meat production, litter is not just a by-product of the production cycle, but a valuable resource. When properly managed and valorized, it becomes a key element in farm strategies for soil fertilization and renewable energy production.
POULTRY LITTER
What it is
Poultry litter is a mixture of manure, bedding material, and small feed residues. It is naturally rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter, with high agronomic and energy potential.
POULTRY LITTER
Organic fertilizer for soils
When used as a fertilizer, poultry litter is included in fertilization plans as a natural source of nutrients. It helps support crop production, maintain soil fertility, and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers, contributing to greater farm self-sufficiency.
POULTRY LITTER
Feedstock for biogas and biomethane
When an anaerobic digestion system is available, poultry litter becomes one of the feedstocks for biogas and biomethane production. Used in balanced mixtures with other biomass, it contributes to renewable energy generation and to the production of digestate with fertilizing value.
