In India poultry industry is the fastest growing agro-based industry. There is large amount of accumulation of poultry
related wastes in terms of litter, manure etc. and the extent of waste production is more when there is intensive poultry production. Dueto intensive poultry production there is every chance of major environmental problems as poultry waste is a major source of pollution,pathogens and odour. Besides all these problems, poultry litter contains lot of energy and fertilizer sources which can be utilized for the
betterment of agriculture. The fertilizer obtained from poultry wastes becomes organic fertilizer which enhances the soil fertility,
sustainability which provides prospect for the agricultural sector to reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers. For sustainability in
agriculture, use of chemical fertilizers should be avoided and instead of this new waste management systems should be implemented
which will be economically feasible and eco-friendly. For best utilization of poultry waste options like compost preparation should be
adopted. Although poultry litter is a good source of nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements for crop production but its direct
application to the fields become counter-productive. Therefore, the best way to utilize poultry litter is to use it in the form of compost.
Compost made out of poultry wastes becomes very effective in improving the physical, chemical and biological fertility of soil. Since
poultry litter has got lot of nitrogen and phosphorus, so to neutralize the deleterious effect of the toxicity arose out of high concentration
of nitrogen and phosphorus, brown materials like dry or woody plant material may be used. A perfect mixture of poultry litter and brown
material forms the compost pile may heat up and take less time to break down into useable compost and will not smell bad. The brown
material also helps the litter to allow air to pass through the compost which will result in better quality of fertilizer in the form of
compost. It can, therefore, be concluded that the poultry litter can be mixed with supplements like rice hulls and straw in proper ratio of
carbon and nitrogen for compost preparation for the safe application in the field. Wastes including mortalities, hair, feathers and
processing wastes can be converted to products which are useful for mankind. The poultry farm waste products such as poultry feather,
offal and litter/manure are mainly responsible for the environmental pollution. Renewable sources can be used to develop by products
which can be used efficiently. It also decreases environmental pollution. Poultry litter can be used for different purposes: As fertilizer
in agriculture, for compost formation, pelletization, electric power generation, and cogeneration of steam and electric power. Poultry litter produced annually can be estimated by multiplying the average amount of litter generated per bird times the number of birds produced annually (Carr, 2002). Consumption of clean energy and increasing agricultural productivity is the prime agenda of the developing countries, in order to feed the increasing population and continue to keep our surrounding environment as clean as possible.
