Nutrient composition of poultry manure varies with the type of bird, feed ration, proportion of litter to droppings, manure handling system, and the type of litter. To reduce sample variability, collect subsamples of broiler, turkey, and duck litter in 6 to 12 areas of the house. The nutrient value of stockpiled litter should be taken from at least 6 locations around the pile.
