Perdue developing new ways to compost, reuse chicken litter
Engineers with Perdue Farms are working on new methods of composting chicken waste in Delaware and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore that could also control pollution, reports the Associated Press.
Perdue officials are seeking permission to add wood, water and hatchery waste to poultry litter, The News Journal reported. The company would then recycle the litter at a Seaford-area site by heating the litter, forming it into pellets and selling it as fertilizer to farms.
