TL;DR: A process was developed for hydrolyzing manure lignocellulosics into fermentable sugars, and it was found that a reduced particle size resulted in a high glucose yield with further decreases in particle size not increasing the yield.

TL;DR: Proper estimation of the nitrogen (N) content of poultry manure and proper manure handling are necessary to ensure that application rates minimize emissions from the manure and nitrate leaching into the cropland.

...…non-protein nitrogen - NPN), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in poultry wastes are higher than in the wastes of other species, so the value of poultry wastes as a source of these nutrients provides more incentive for the utilization of this resource for plants and animals (Fontenot et al., 1983)....

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: Waste by-products such as excreta or bedding material that are generated by the worldwide annual production of poultry meat and 600 billion eggs are generally land applied as the final step of a producer's waste management strategy.
Abstract: Poultry products are consumed by most ethnic populations worldwide. In recent years, the global production of poultry meat and eggs has increased at an annual rate of approximately 5% with the United States, China, the former Soviet Union countries, Brazil, France, and Japan representing dominant production countries. In 1991, nearly 40 million metric tons (t) of poultry meat and 600 billion eggs were produced globally (Sims and Wolf 1994). In the United States, poultry production increased by 44% between 1982 and 1994, representing a recent annual production inventory of nearly 8 billion broilers, 300 million layers, and 300 million turkeys (Bagley et al. 1996; U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry 1997).
