Solid Manures

These include material from traditional covered straw yards, manure with a lot of straw in it and solids from mechanical slurry separators. Most poultry battery, broiler and deep litter systems produce solid manure.  These organic wastes will generally contain enough bedding material, or have enough dry matter to be stacked.
