Managing Poultry Manure

Poultry production is a growing sector of agriculture in the UK, due to the increasing demand for poultry meat and egg products. Poultry manure is a by-product of this production and is rich in nutrients, which can provide a major source of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and trace elements for crop production. This material can also improve physical and biological fertility of soil, making it ideal for land application as a fertiliser.
