“…Both raw and composted litter were rich in carbon content. The N, P and K contents of the poultry litter were comparable with a previous report (Sistani et al, 2003). No substantial difference in heavy metals concentrations of the raw and composted poultry litter was observed.…”

Poultry litter constitutes one of the animal wastes that are produced in large quantity. Information on the quantity generated may enhance planning for its utilisation. Quantification of poultry litter (PL) generated and its utilisation is rare in Nigeria. This study was designed to investigate PL management in Lagos, Nigeria and possible utilisation potential. Questionnaires were distributed to poultry farmers in Lagos to evaluate poultry waste generation and management practices. Additionally, PL was also quantified from selected farms. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the agronomic effects of raw and composted PL (each applied at 0, 5, 10 t/ha and replicated four times) on the growth and heavy metals uptake of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra). Poultry farms were situated in the residential, non-residential and industrial areas with non-residential areas housing a larger percentage. About 53% of the farms were located near rivers or streams. A few of the poultry farmers treated and utilised PL using chemical and physical methods before disposal. Also, no record of waste utilization was found in 72.3% of the farms. About 87.4% of the farmers quantified the PL generated. About 89.3% of the farmers disposed PL in open dumpsites. Mean poultry litter generated from four farms per bird/day was 0.11 ± 0.001 kg. The HMs contents in plants grown on the poultry treated soils were below the permissible levels in soil. The heavy metals concentrations in the leaves and fruits (which are usually the edible parts of okra plants) for all the treatments fall within WHO/FAO permissible levels. Overall, soil amended with 5 t/ha composted poultry litter performed best in terms of fruit production and reduction in HMs uptake. The use of composted poultry litter as fertiliser at calculated quantity will increase PL management.

“…In order to salvage these associated environmental problems, the elements can be stabilised in the litter through treatment by composting. Composted PL has been reported to yield a stabilised product which improved physical, chemical and biological properties of soils (Martinez et al, 2009;Sistani et al, 2003;Guerra-Rodriguez et al, 2001).…”

“…Applying more than 8.96 Mg ha -1 litter elevated total P in the 0-5 cm soil depth (P \ 0.05), and a similar trend was evident in the 5-15 cm depth. Elevated Cu and Zn is consistent with the practice of adding micronutrients to poultry rations, their subsequent excretion in litter (Sistani et al 2003), and low rate of removal in the harvested forage (Pederson et al 2002;Read et al 2007). Brink et al (2001Brink et al ( , 2004 reported hybrid bermudagrass removed only 1.0-1.5% of Cu and 7-13% of Zn, as compared to 15-27% of P that was applied in 11.8 Mg ha -1 litter to Savannah soil with long history of litter.…”

“…Wet material (termed cake) is removed from the house floor after each flock is removed, commonly 5-6 times annually. Periodically the entire floor covering is removed in a house 'cleanout' (Chamblee and Todd 2002;Sistani et al 2003). This material, called litter (a mixture of manure, wasted feed, and bedding material), is typically applied to pasture and hay crops on the producing farm or nearby farms (Oldham and Coufal 2007).…”

Long-term application of poultry litter may result in excessively high soil phosphorus (P). This field study determined the potential of 'Coastal' bermudagrass overseeded with 'Marshall' annual ryegrass and harvested for hay to reduce the level of Mehlich-3 extractable P (M3-P) that had accumulated in a Savannah soil due to a 30-year history of broiler litter application to bermudagrass, as well as antecedent litter rates of 0, 4.48, 8.96, 17.9, and 35.8 Mg ha -1 in 1999-2001. Following the cessation of litter, the plots were overseeded in fall [2001][2002][2003] and fertilized in summer with 268 kg N ha -1 as NH 4 NO 3 . Applying 8.96 Mg ha -1 litter significantly elevated M3-P in surface soil (0-15 cm depth) from about 183 to 263 mg kg -1 . Annual dry matter (DM) yield and P uptake generally increased as litter rate increased up to 17.9 Mg ha -1 . Analysis of M3-P at four sampling dates from October 2002 to April 2004 found no significant effect of forage system or its interaction with litter rate, and levels in both systems decreased by about 25, 27, 22, 26, and 29% at the five litter rates, respectively. Ryegrass-bermudagrass significantly increased DM yield and P uptake, but did not translate to reductions in M3-P, as compared to bermudagrass winter fallow. With no further litter additions and five harvests per year, both forage systems removed about 49 kg ha -1 P with a DM yield of 15 Mg ha -1 and reduced M3-P by about 26 mg kg -1 annually. Bermudagrass performance is important in the remediation of high soil P.

“…Amounts leached for cake based activated biochars were consistently lower than those for litter despite higher initial concentrations in raw cake than litter (Table 1). Greater Ca, Mg, K, and Fe in raw cake than in litter samples were also determined by Sistani et al [27]. Apparent disparity between initial concentration and amount removed between litter and cake suggests other factors (e.g.…”

Poultry-litter activated biochars (PLAB) with enhanced metals adsorption may contain significant amounts of inorganic material. This study traces key elements (Ca-Fe-K-Mg-Na-P) from litter to PLAB and selective fate upon acid/water treatments. Samples were pyrolyzed 1 hr/700°C, steam-activated 45 min/800°C, and acid washed/ rinsed. Mineral composition concentrated during pyrolysis/activation. Acid wash/water treatments removed unbound inorganics with highest extraction for K (37-100%) and Na (27-49%) and lowest for Fe (0-0.02%). Remaining elements leached significantly less indicating selective removal as influenced by composition and pyrolysis/activation effects on solubility. Heavy metals concentrated upon activation with negligent leaching regarding treatment. Post-activation treatments may improve usability of PLAB in wastewater applications by avoiding unwanted elemental leaching without compromising functionality.
