Thanks for the info. Does the charcoal affect the composting process?

Very interesting question. Biochar actually accelerates the composting process. bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/resources/the-influence-of-biochar-addition-on-chicken-manure-composting-and-associated-methane-and-carbon-dioxide-emissions/

Thank you so much, I appreciate this. Let's say in ideal situation * Good weather *Stock density is average *Minimal water spillage What's can be average length of time for litter before change
@diyagric9 ай бұрын
All those are relative. Good weather here is not the same as good weather there. I've seen people who managed to raise 8 weeks broilers on a litter without changing. For layer chickens, you can go as long as 6 months without changing and when you do, it not because of odour or wetness, it's usually because it has turned to dust There's actually no one-size-fits-all answer for how long before you change litter for broilers

Thank you, and welcome to the Channel. Overall, the time of removal will depend on a couple of factors. Stocking density, age of birds, prevailing weather, litter management on the part of the workers. This means there is no right or wrong answer to your question. What I can say is that this method prolongs the time.
