This report describes the development of the broiler litter problem in the southeastern United States, including the economic opportunity and environmental challenges brought to the region by the industry. Through an analysis applied to the State of Georgia, land application of litter as a disposal alternative is examined along with its associated benefits. The analysis indicates that litter could be transported economically up to 256 km for cropland application. Excessive broiler litter production in a few concentrated regions is expected to stimulate the development of alternative approaches to broiler litter management, such as electricity generation.
本报告描述了美国东南部肉鸡粪便问题的发展情况，包括该行业给该地区带来的经济机遇和环境挑战。通过对佐治亚州的分析，研究了将粪便用于土地作为一种处置选择及其相关益处。分析表明，粪便可经济地运输至256公里外用于农田。预计少数集中地区肉鸡粪便产量过高将刺激肉鸡粪便管理替代方法的发展，如发电。
