Apply poultry manure to soils only as needed by annual soil test and crop needs. For consistent, high quality yields, manure use on each field should be planned years ahead of actual application.

Never use commercial fertilizer and poultry manure together on soils unless it is prescribed to com plement each other at controlled, acceptable plant nutrient levels.

STEEL STORAGE IS QUALITY STORAGE Air inlets drawing air from a tree shaded side of a house can produce cooler air to enter a hot poultry house. Reduce the level of toxic gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, or ammonia from anerobic manure or litter to a level of zero to 10 ppm maximum. If you have no measur ing device, estimate gas on intensi ty of ammonia odor. If birds pant, have pale skin, broken feathers, liquid droppings, poor egg produc tion, poor shell quality, poor fertil ity, poor hatchability or no libido, reduce toxic gas by drying manure as it is produced or removing it daily. At 80°F and 80 percent relative humidity, birds begin to suffer. At 90°F and 90 percent relative humidity, birds begin to die unless the following is true: • All birds are healthy and trim with no excess fat on them. * All birds are preconditioned to high temperatures before the onset of the hot weather.
