Determination of bioavailable nitrogen and phosphorus from pelletized broiler litter

چکیده
Improved methods for broiler chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter utilization are needed to alleviate potential impacts of pollution around broiler production operations. Pelletization may constitute one improved method for handling broiler litter. The objective of this study was to determine the change in nutrient concentration from pelletizing broiler litter, and determine availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from pelletized broiler litter in a greenhouse experiment. Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and sorghum-sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) were grown to determine dry matter accumulation and uptake of N and P. Cumulative data for all cuttings showed that pelletized broiler litter had lower uptake of N and P compared to inorganic N and P. Dry biomass production from pellets was less than ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in the N experiment. Biomass production from pellets was similar to calcium phosphate (CaHPO4) for the P experiment. This indicates pelletized broiler litter can serve as N and P sources for plants. However, N and P in broiler litter pellets may not be as available as that from inorganic fertilizer.

The Phosphorus and Potassium Fertilizer Value of Two Poultry Litter Sources Used for Flood-Irrigated Rice
Few studies have examined the use of poultry litter as an alternative to inorganic P and K fertilizers for flood-irrigated rice. The objective of this study was to compare fresh and pelletized poultry litter to inorganic P and K fertilizers to document the availability of P and K in poultry litter. Inorganic P and K fertilizers, fresh broiler litter, and pelletized litter were preplant-incorpor...

High levels of phosphorus and pathogens in runoff are 2 major concerns following manure applications to fields. Phosphorus losses from fields following manure applications have been linked to the solubility of phosphorus in manure; therefore, by decreasing manure phosphorus solubility, a decrease in phosphorus loss in runoff should be apparent. The objective of this research was to develop a pr...

The ability of poultry litter to support plant growth by supplying essential plant nutrients in the absence of other sources of the nutrients has not been studied thoroughly. The objectives of this research were to (1) determine the ability of poultry litter, as the sole nutrient source, to provide macronutrients and support growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (2) evaluate the distribution...
