Advantages of Deep Litter System for Poultry Farmers
Extension poultryman Frank Wollney of Iowa State College urges farmers not started on deep litter to begin now. The method reduces damp litter, odors, and weekly cleaning while improving dry, warm housing and vitamin B-12 availability from litter fermentation. Start with 6 to 8 inches of starter bedding, maintain 8 to 10 inches deep, manage wet spots, stir and add litter as it cakes, and use supers to limit ammonia.
