Estimating Land Area Requirements for Poultry Operations: Conservative Litter Management Approach (1993)

Abstract

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources requires that a permit or letter of approval be obtained for the construction and/or operation of poultry enterprises above a certain size. In general, turkey and broiler operations that are using the litter system of waste management and are equal to or larger than the numbers in Table 1 must obtain a permit or letter of approval from the Department of Natural Resources.
