Basic information
One of the things regarding disposal of poultry manure has been identified as a major source of environmental degradation in production areas through air and water pollution associated with nitrogen and phosphorus emissions and losses from manure
Poultry farmers suffered from discomforts ranging from various combinations of sneezing, eye irritation, coughing, headache, stomach ache and diarrhoea, the awareness of poultry farmers and authorities needs to be raised regarding the management of poultry manure and the need for protective equipment during its disposal of farmers had no formal training in safe handling and disposal of poultry manure
There should be stricter enforcement of existing environmental regulations and enactment of new legislation to minimize the threats that the farmers’ current practices pose to their health and to the environment. Waste composition and production rates are presented. Land disposal of the wastes and subsequent agronomic implications are extensively discussed, but alternative methods of disposal such as composting, biogas generation and others are presented as well. Results of experimental investigations into transformations of poultry waste constituents, particularly nitrogen, are summarized
The body of available literature is used as a basis for recommended future research, which includes more precise characterization of wastes, improved understanding of the dynamics of poultry waste constituents, and increased efforts to quantify and model water quality impacts of waste disposal
Features
1. Using manure belts in poultry houses reduces ammonia emissions and thus contributes to an improved climate in the house and to the birds’ health. Intervals between manure removals should therefore be as short as possible. In the past, however, manure belts had to be constantly monitored during operation, sometimes requiring adjustment by experienced staff. Manure was therefore not removed as often as would be ideal
2. The manure removal system uses belts to transport the manure from the house at regular intervals, with the cross belt installed above ground. This significantly reduces ammonia emissions and makes expensive groundworks unnecessary
3. Humans, birds and the environment benefit from the belt system by getting a healthier climate in the house increases the birds’ well-being and thus their performance, makes the daily work of poultry managers easier and reduces the amount of ammonia that leaves the barn
4. It has corrosion-resistant substructure made of stainless steel
5. It has low maintenance requirements
6. It has simple installation procedure

Manure managements
1. Housing and manure handling options
Poultry producers select a manure handling system based on factors such as location. The size, type and use of their cropland, the number of birds, and the type of housing. Manure storage and handling options relate to the type of housing system deep pit, high rise, scraper, liquid manure. Here is a brief discussion of each system with design and management hints to minimize manure storage and application problems. With all systems, divert rain and snow melt runoff away from outside solid manure storages and from lagoon treatment systems. Install gutters to direct roof runoff to a ditch or other diversion. Keep uncontaminated surface water away from buildings
2. Cages above pits
Cages for layers or pullets are in rows of decks. Manure falls through the wire floor into the pit directly or is scraped from dropping boards below the cages. Deep pit systems can yield a solid manure if kept dry enough: but you must prevent leaking waterers. Groundwater and surface water must also be kept out of the pits, shallow pits are constructed of concrete and are 3" to 8" deep and 3' to 6' below the cages. Manure is scraped or flushed with water from the pits, either directly to a spreader or to a storage. If the manure gets wet. Empty the gutter or pit daily, or at least weekly, to minimize odour and fly problems. Store the liquid or solid manure outside the building
3. Poultry manure management alternatives
Deep pits hold manure stored as a liquid (typical for ducks) or a solid (typical for layers or pullets). There are two types, the pit extends to about 6' below grade and has concrete walls and floor. The walls, floor, and wall-to-floor joints must be water tight to keep out ground and surface water. And the high rise building option is a modified deep pit in which the pit floor is at grade level. The pit extends 8' or more above grade to the cages. With the floor at grade, groundwater is not a factor, but slope the area around the building to divert runoff water away from the pit, if kept dry, manure can accumulate in pits for at least a year and often longer. Air blowing across the pits dries the manure ridges under the cages permitting solid manure handling. When removing manure from storage, monitor toxic gas build up and ventilate at the maximum rate to dilute these gases. Because of the toxic gases given off by disturbed manure, evacuate people from any building during scraper cleaning, pumping or draining, or agitating liquid manure before land application
4. Floors with litter
Turkeys, broilers, ducks, and small layer flocks are often raised on concrete or earthen floors. Feeders and waterers hung from the ceiling can be raised or removed for cleaning. Litter management includes removing caked manure from around waterers, stirring to increase drying, and adding new litter. A 2" to 6" layer of sawdust, wood shavings, rice hulls, or chopped straw is spread before the birds enter the building. Recycled litter can be stirred with a rotary tiller and top-dressed with a thin layer of fresh litter. Periodically, tractor loaders remove the manure-litter mixture and pens are cleaned and disinfected
5. Outdoor manure storages
Manure stored outside the building can be either liquid or solid. Properly designed and installed prefabricated steel, concrete, or earthen storages can be used for liquid poultry manure. Concentrated liquid poultry manure is more likely than solid manure to create odour problems during storage and land application. With insufficient indoor solid manure storage, or with daily operation of scrapers in shallow pits, solid manure can be stacked outside the building. Increased storage can permit much longer intervals between land applications. Stack manure on a protected impervious surface to prevent runoff and leaching
6. Ranges
Although not very common in Indiana, some turkeys may be on range. Channel range runoff, which will be contaminated with manure, into a holding area well away from ditches, streams, or other bodies of water. Divert upslope runoff and roof drainage around the poultry range to minimize the contaminated water that must be handled
Advantages
1. Self regulating, straight running of the belts during manure removal ensures high process reliability
2. Manual adjustment of the belts is no longer required, saving much time
3. The bus-compatible motor can communicate with the farm computer
4. Automatic detection of the load on the manure belt indicates when manure must be removed
5. Longer service life of the entire manure belt drive
