Over 95% of poultry litter is recycled and reused to fertilize crops.
Poultry litter is an extremely valuable resource in agriculture. Farmers collect and store poultry litter to be used as an organic fertilizer for crops. Plants feed the chickens and chickens fertilize the plants – it’s a closed, sustainable nutrient loop.
