Abstract
The poultry farming waste, as a mixture of dropping and bedding material is usually used as a fertilizer in agriculture because of their richness of mineral materials. However, expanded production of broilers, with decreased availability of agricultural land and potential negative effects of long-lasting application of such a material on land, encourage searching for alternative ways for use of this materials. Generally speaking, there are two ways, beside of abovementioned: (1) exploitation of poultry waste in compost production and (2) its use for energy production.
This paper exposes the overview of state-of-the-art (techniques and equipment) within the field of energetic valorization of poultry waste by direct thermal methods, and discusses various aspects of mentioned practices.
