Fresh poultry manure from battery cages or from slatted or wire floors is free from litter. It is semi-solid, but rather sticky and, to reduce aity public nuisance from smell, it should be spread as soon as possible. To reduce nitrogen losses, the preferred time is in spring and sunrmer. Application rates are sinrilar to those for farmyard ntaniue. Copper and zinc toxicity could be a problem if very high rates of fresh poultry manure are made.
