We investigated the effects of reused litter on bird performance, welfare, litter pH and moisture, and air ammonia concentrations on a commercial farm in Sydney. The litter inside six sheds was assigned to one of three treatments: 1) full cleanout followed by fresh pine shavings (CNT); 2) litter reuse following heaping and turning (HT); and 3) HT plus the addition of a commercial acidifying litter amendment (HT+A). | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WPC 2012: XXIV World's Poultry Congress, Salvador, Brazil, 5th - 9th August, 2012 | Source of Publication: | World's Poultry Science Journal, 68(Supplement 1), p. 139-142 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 0043-9339 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070203 Animal Management | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300302 Animal management | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830309 Poultry | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100411 Poultry | HERDC Category Description: | E2 Non-Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication |
