Disposal of poultry droppings with the use of natural sorbents

Abstract

The objective of this research is to ensure environmental safety and increase soil fertility. Adding sorbents like clinoptilolite and palygorskite to poultry droppings reduces ammonia evolution to the atmosphere. Further, sorbents create conditions for gradual feeding of the root system of plants with ammonium nitrogen. This will prevent it from washing out by ground water, and allow reducing the environmental hazard of atmosphere pollution by ammonium nitrogen and utilizing droppings from poultry farms, contributing to lower nitrogen loss during storage and the increase of soil fertility.
