“…The content of ether extract was similar to the amount reported by Obeidat et al (2011). The mean value for NDF in BL was higher than those reported by Mekasha et al (2004) and Obeidat et al (2011). The NDF content of litter is quite variable, affected by type of bedding material, the number of growing periods before harvest and extent of heat damage (Goetsch and Aiken, 2000).…”

“…The NPN fraction of BL was about half of the CP content, however, uric acid, main part of NPN in BL, is broken down in the rumen at a slower rate compared to urea and consequently most of the ammonia is captured by the rumen microbes (Oltjen et al, 1968). The content of ether extract was similar to the amount reported by Obeidat et al (2011). The mean value for NDF in BL was higher than those reported by Mekasha et al (2004) and Obeidat et al (2011).…”

“…The proper use of inexpensive agroindustrial co-products such as BL is important to beneficial livestock production (Negesse et al, 2007). The commercial value of poultry litter as a feedstuff is based usually on its crude protein (CP) (150-350 g/kg dry matter (DM), Obeidat et al, 2011) and minerals content (Jordaan, 2004). However, Van Ryssen (2000) reported that 400-600 g/kg of the CP in BL is in the form of nonprotein N (NPN) which is quickly degraded in the rumen (Animut et al, 2002).…”

“…They observed no statistically significant differences in growth rates on any of the diets and concluded that dried poultry manure protein is used as efficiently as traditional protein supplements. Obeidat et al (2011) evaluated the effect of adding broiler litter to the diet of Awassi lambs at a rate of 0, 100 and 200 g/kg diet for 70 days. It was reported that no net difference in weight gain or dry matter intake was created by the three diets.…”

The poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of livestock production in the world. The estimated 2010 world flock was over 18 billion birds with a yearly manure output of 22 million tonnes. Storage and disposal of raw poultry manure have become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Environmental and health problems such as odor and pathogens that may arise during and after land application of raw manure can be eliminated by drying. Dried manure can be utilized as a feed for ruminants because of its high nitrogen content. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of drying temperature and depth, as well as the nutritional profile of dried manure and its suitability as an animal feed. Dried poultry manure contained sufficient levels of digestible energy, crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat, cobalt and iodine. Although dried poultry manure did not meet the dietary requirements for calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, copper, iron, manganese, selenium, sulfur or zinc it could be used as a feed stuff for ruminants after supplementation with the required nutrients. Heated air drying was most efficient at 60°C and at a depth of 3 cm. During drying poultry manure decreased in pH (8.4-6.9), protein content (43 to 39-43%) and amino acid content. The greatest reductions in microbial population occurred at the highest temperature (60°C) and the lowest manure depth (1cm). Reductions in the number of bacteria, mold/yeast and E. coli were 65-99, 74-99 and 99.97% respectively, Salmonellae was not detected in the dried product. Dried poultry manure was found to have a non-offensive odor. Odor intensity and offensiveness were reduced by 65 and 69% respectively during drying. Thin layer heated air drying of poultry manure between 40 and 60°C created a safe and nutritionally appropriate feed for ruminants.

“…They concluded that deep-stacked BL can be used up to 260 g/kg DM in ruminant rations. Feeding autoclaved (121°C; 15 minutes) BL to Awassi lambs at the levels of 0, 100 or 200 g/kg diet DM had no effect on FBW and dry matter intake (DMI) but improved the meat quality (Obeidat et al 2011). This study was performed to assess the effect of different levels of heat-processed broiler litter (HBL) in pellet-form diets on fattening performance and carcass characteristics of fat-tailed Moghani lambs.…”

Thirty-six male Moghani lambs (31.4 ± 3.2 kg body weight) were used to investigate the effect of feeding heatprocessed broiler litter (HBL) on the growth performance and carcass characteristics using a completely randomized design (nine animals per diet). The used HBL was produced commercially by indirect heating (based on the flow of hot steam) BL at 80°C for 20 minutes. The experimental diets were contained HBL at the levels of 0, 70, 140 or 210 g/kg dry matter (DM). Dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), harvest data and carcass characteristics of the animals were recorded. The final body weight (FBW), cold carcass weight, DMI, ADG, feed efficiency (FE) and cost per unit production in the lambs fed diet free of HBL (control diet) were 51.3 kg, 27.0 kg, 1700 g/day, 245 g/day, 0.144 and US$1.83, respectively. Feeding the increasing levels of HBL had no significant effect on the FBW, DMI, ADG, FE and carcass weight. Back-fat thickness was decreased [linear (L), P = 0.05] with increasing the level of HBL in the diet. From the offal parts, weight of internal fat was decreased (L, P = 0.035) as the dietary level of HBL elevated. Dietary treatment had no effect on the weights of lean, bone and fat in carcass and dissected legs. Fat weight of dissected loin was decreased (L, P = 0.05) as the dietary level of HBL increased. As the level of HBL elevated in diet, cost per unit production was decreased (L, P = 0.04). It is concluded that using HBL up to 210 g/kg DM in diet of fattening Moghani lambs was possible without any effect on feed intake, growth performance and animal health, but reduced loin fat, internal fat and cost per unit production.
