Main characteristics of the waste/ by-product
Richer in nutrients and substrates than other manures like than hog or cattle manure. It can be used for specific demands.

Physico-chemical properties of the waste or by-product
It is widely used for fertilizing agricultural areas both cleanly, mixed with other type of manures and composted. It’s granulated form is commercially available. It is also used for the production of firing such as pellet or biogas, and as feed supplementary.

Hazards of the waste or by-product
Toxic element content, nutrient content, trace medicine content were analysed and productivity tests with corn and cabbage test organism were carried out. Physical and chemical parameter of poultry manure were also checked. [1]- Bolan et al. (2010) Uses and management of poultry litter, Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South, Australia, SA ; [2]- Vajdulák Miklós (2005) Jó tudni – az istállótrágyáról, Agrofil-SZMI EC http://mezohir.hu/mezohir/2005/08/jo-tudni-az-istallotragyarol/
It’s high organic and nitrogen content can cause eutrofisation in different water bodies. Poultry manure has hygiene risk; it arises especially nearby surface water bodies or drinking water sources. Manure cannot be storage within the distance of 100 m and cannot be used within of 10 m nearby these protected objects. It cannot be used on frozen soil or if the soil is covered by snow, and it is not allowed to use between 1st December and 15th February. Following the good agricultural practice only 170 kg nitrogen equivalent can be placed per hectare. [1]- Bolan et al.

Potential utilisation in soil
Poultry manure contains high percentage of organic matter, which can keep fertility of the soil, has positive effect on nutrient uptake by plants, improve soil structure and hydrologic budget of soil, and impede leaching.
Bolan et al. (2010) Uses and management of poultry litter, Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South, Australia, SA
Poultry manure contains all the necessary elements for agricultural use. [1]- Bolan et al. (2010) Uses and management of poultry litter, Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South, Australia, SA
It contains magnesium, calcium and sulphur.
Yes, it contains boron, copper, manganese and zinc.
Yes, because its organic matter contents.
No, because its physical properties and its sludge like aggregate.
Organic compounds in the poultry manure restrain leaching out of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and microelements from soil. The formation of humus can increase microbial activity, positively change physical and chemical characteristic and enlarge buffer capacity of the topsoil.
Because of high organic content it is feasible to amend soil texture effectively.
The increase of humification process can have positive effect on swampy soils.
Its organic materials makes poultry manure especially suitable for soil improvement on sandy soils. In correct use it can increase the soil nutrient contents. [1]- Bolan et al. (2010) Uses and management of poultry litter, Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South, Australia, SA
Increased productivity of plants can have the potential for erosion protection.
Yes, because it has alkaline pH.
It phosphorus content can immobilize toxic element such as arsenic, copper and chrome.

Its high organic and nitrogen content can cause eutrofisation in different water bodies. Its toxic elements have mutagenic and toxic effect. Mixed use of poultry manure with other materials can significantly reduce these effects. [1]-Bolan et al.
