Potential for Reducing Nutrients from the Poultry Industry in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
Over 800,000 million broilers are raised in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Together with turkeys and laying hens, poultry production is a major source of N and P loads that are transported to the Bay from agriculture. Nutrient management planning, phytase addition to feed, use of high available P corn and pellitizing the litter are the most promising BMPS for broiler for reducing N and P loads. Nutrient management planning, composting, pellitizing, and using layer hen manure for mushroom substrate are the most promising BMPs for laying hens.
