Arsenic in the poultry business was banned years ago in the EU. The biggest problem we have besides high nitrogen (6%) is the logistics. The poultry farms clean out their houses at intervals that do not necessarily allow for stable energy production - we are looking at staggering the times among multiple producers to get an even energy flow. You do not want to store chicken manure, so you have to time the deliveries to match energy output.

Can anyone comment on this or other known or potential anti-AD Environmentalist issues. Here on the "Delmarva" peninsula over-application of raw chicken manure onto the farm fields, and the subsequent runoff into our abundance of estuaries and bays is a big issue. Our goal of introducing absolute containment with solar heated bladder/ batch systems and a more environmentally acceptable compost byproduct .... is supposed to attract a positive response from activists. Comments, Information, Suggestions? Thanks!
