Why Dry Poultry Manure
For seven years researchers at
The Pennsylvania State
University have been finding new
ways to dry poultry manure
inside the poultry house.
What advantages does in-house
drying offer us in manure han
dling. First it stops the
reproduction of insects such as
flies if manure is dried below 30
percent moisture. Drying
manure reduces the production of
toxic gases and repulsive odors.
Drying manure also reduces the
total weight of manure to one
third its original level. Dried
manure * is no longer a con
taminant because it has useful
aerobic bacteria rather than
unwanted anerobic bacteria in it.
Drying converts the manure to
a useful fertilizer or soil sup
plement. Dried poultry manure
can be spread in one third the
time that wet or liquid manure
can be handled. Dried poultry

manure improves soil fertility,
reduces the cost of growing grain
and hay, improves pasture for
beef, and farm help enjoy
handling it better than wet
manure. Dried manure is much
safer to handle because it is less
bulky and the liquid nature tends
to be hard to pull up the hills in
the spreader, harder to hold
going down hills and upsets the
spreader more easily. A spill of
dry manure is hardly noticed by
neighbors.
People who use phase I and
phase II drying find they have
fewer complaints from neigh
bors, the health department does
not cite them for contamination
or as a nuisance. The people who
handle wet manure usually get
all the law suits.
So, there are at least a dozen
reasons to use dry rather than the
wet system of handling manure
on the poultry farm.
