Broiler manure is the droppings rrrixed with litter. This produces a bulky manitre, relatively dry aird friable and easily handled. It should be treated like farmyard marrure.

Commercial broilers had the highest population, about 7 billion, and they produced the second largest amount of manure cattle, which had a population of about 100 million, produced the largest amount. No differentiation was made in this assessment between dairy and beef cattle. The daily production rate per head of dry manure solids used was the arithmetic average of dairy cattle and beef cattle, since the dairy-to-beef cattle ratio of the reported manure production rates is about 1.45 (Stanford Research Institute, 1976). Some assessments indicate that the ratio of productivities is 3.1 (Jaycor, 1990). The effects of daily manure production per animal are evident as shown in Table 5.2. When published waste production factors are used for conversion of the animal populations to human equivalents in terms of solid waste generation as shown in the table, the total human population equivalent of these animals is estimated at almost 3 billion people. This is approximately 12 times the U.S. population in the mid-1990s, a ratio considerably less than reported in 1968, when it was estimated to be 20 times that of the human population (American Chemical Society, 1969). But the latter ratio included liquid wastes as well. The ratio of total animal excreta to total municipal biosolids generation calculated here, both of which exclude liquid wastes, is about 36 on a mass basis (307.1 dry t/8.6 million dry t). 

This group contains the materials most widely used by commercial growers and is characterized by a favorable carbon nitrogen balance. Dried chicken manure from broilers mixed with sawdust is commonly used and easy to handle.
