Spreading poultry litter with lab analysis but without soil tests (2009)

Abstract

A primary need and concern for most poultry producers is managing litter. You need to protect ground and surface water and fulfill regulatory requirements. You can meet the goals by applying litter to the land in such a way that nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen and organic matter are used by the soil/plant complex and are not allowed to enter the ground and surface water.
