Abstract
The wastes associated with poultry farming have an increased significance today as we become more aware of the harmful effects of polluting the environment. Today’s modern poultry farms, because of their size, have enormous problems associated with the by-products of production. Manure is by far the number one waste problem, and its problems can be due to a number of different issues including disposal, odor, associated nuisances, and water and air pollution. Other wastes include hatchery residue, processing plant offal and waste water, eggshells, and dead birds.
