Scientific Operation Mechanism of Deep Litter System

Deep litter poultry system operates through controlled aerobic and anaerobic microbial decomposition, where nitrogen rich manure is converted into stabilized organic matter, ammonia concentration is reduced through biological oxidation, and thermal energy is generated inside litter layers to stabilize internal poultry house climate conditions under continuous production cycles.

Methanogenic suppression efficiency reaches 72–84% under proper carbon to nitrogen balance control, while nitrogen retention in litter biomass increases by 18–26% compared to unmanaged floor systems.
