Basic information
Chicken manure is the major sources of environmental concern globally. Nitrogen emission in chicken manure occurs in several forms mainly ammonia which contributes directly or indirectly to several environmental and public health hazards. Chicken manure also contributes to some extent to climate change through the emissions of the nitrous oxide. To effectively reduce the environmental impact of chicken manure, appropriate measures should be taken across the chicken supply and manure management chain
Especially for soil low in nitrogen of all animal manures, it has the highest amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Chicken manure is sometimes pelletized for use as a fertilizer, and this product may have additional phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen added, optimal storage conditions for chicken manure include keeping it in a covered area and retaining its liquid, because a significant amount of nitrogen exists in the urine
Fresh chicken manure contains 0.5% to 0.9% nitrogen, 0.4% to 0.5% phosphorus, and 1.2% to 1.7% potassium. One chicken produces approximately 8 to 11 pounds (3.6 to 5.0 kg) of manure monthly. Chicken manure increases in the pollution levels. The excessive phosphorus from the runoff contributes to the increase of dead zones in the correct amount of manure
Air emissions and manure handling in chicken production are among the major sources of environmental concerns globally. Ammonia, nitrous oxide (N2O), and other oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are nitrogenous emissions of concern in broiler and layer production systems, while methane, particulate matters, and black carbon emissions also occur
Prevention
1. Clean the chicken coop
Water and feeder trough should be disinfected using a disinfectant that is safe for the chickens and does not leave a residual film. A mixture of 10 percent bleach and 90 percent of water can work well. Disinfect all equipment and materials prior to first use and weekly then rinse thoroughly. Shavings to the floor of the coop and nest boxes, 3 to 4 inches deep to keep the area dry and odour free, then remove wet or soiled bedding daily weekly
2. Avoid ammonia release
Maintain a dry litter base which will help stop ammonia volatilization before it even starts, especially with backyard chickens that range during the day, consider moving your water dispenser outside the chicken coop to prevent water spillage. If you can’t move your water outside, consider upgrading your dispenser from a trough type to a nipple valve system like an inexpensive since standard layer chicken nipple valves don’t drip much and greatly reduce the amount of water that hits the bedding. If you are using a trough style water dispenser, make sure the lip sits as tall as the back of your shortest bird in the flock that way they will not play in it or splash it around

Control measures
1. Dry manure management
To prevent fly breeding, remove the manure often, at least twice a week. This breaks the breeding life cycle. It is important to scatter the manure in thin layers outdoors to kill the eggs and larvae by drying them. Avoid piles or clumps of manure
2. Water management
1. Prevent leaks in water troughs or cups. Regulating water flow to an on/off cycle may help eliminate moisture problems. Assign an employee to walk the manure pit daily to check for leaks
2. Provide abundant cross-ventilation beneath the cages, especially during hot weather using 36-inch pit fans blowing across the manure can be very effective. Place a curtain above the manure every 100 feet to help keep the air moving over the manure. Adequate house ventilation is important at all times
3. If the water table in your area is high or if there is a danger of water running into the house from the outside, adjust the floor grade so that the house floor is higher than the outside surrounding ground. Direct surface water away from the building. Drain and fill all low areas around the houses
4. Prevent dysentery by keeping the water clean. If dysentery develops, use recommended antibiotics
5. Prevent excessively high house temperatures, which encourage the chickens to drink abnormal amounts of water
6. Practice good husbandry by restricting excess water consumption but not to the point of reducing egg lay
7. If your resources allow it, consider adopting a new housing system designed to dry the manure in the pits
3. Sanitation
1. Immediately clean up and dispose of feed spills and manure spills, especially if they are wet
2. Clean out weed-choked water drainage ditches
3. Install proper eave troughs and down- spouts on poultry houses to carry rainwater far from the buildings. Provide proper drainage in the poultry yards
4. Minimize the migration of flies from other fly-infested animal operations close to the poultry house
