Cornell study seeks to turn poultry manure into feed
Cornell University researchers led by Richard E. B. Austic study aerobic fermentation to convert poultry manure into high protein feed for chickens. The $139,800 NSF grant supports producing a 50 percent protein powder, with byproducts of water and carbon dioxide and odorless solids for land application. If profitable, the method could reduce waste and lower feed costs, though economies of scale require large operations.
