A survey of broiler litter composition and potential value as a nutrient resource
TLDR
The average N:P:K ratio of the litter was 3:3:2 as mentioned in this paper, which is the smallest ratio in the literature, and was found to be negatively correlated with coal ash and positively correlated with acid detergent fiber.About:

Evaluation of stability and maturity during forced-aeration composting of chicken manure and sawdust at different C/N ratios
TL;DR: In this paper, physicochemical and biological parameters in order to assess their effectiveness as stability and maturity indicators during the forced-aeration composting process of chicken manure mixed with different amounts of sawdust, yielding initial C/N ratios of 12, 18 and 28.

Nitrogen loss in chicken litter compost as affected by carbon to nitrogen ratio and turning frequency.
TL;DR: The study investigated the effects of carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and turning frequency (TF) on the loss of total nitrogen (TN) during composting of chicken litter with a view to producing good quality compost and found that both C:N ratio and TF had significant effect on pile temperature, pH changes, TN, TC, P and K losses.
