614

In this episode, join Dr. Ken Macklin and me as we take a journey into his research on litter management, highlighting the approach to reducing pathogen loads in litter. We discuss litter amendments, ammonia control strategies, the pros and cons of the built-up litter system vs. the changing-out system, the evaluation of emerging technologies, previous game-changers in disease prevention in poultry, and much more.

“If you don’t follow three days of composting, turn the litter, and let it go for another two to three days, then you’ll achieve almost a 100% kill.”
