Why dry chicken manure by chicken manure dryer ?

Chicken / Poultry manure products are one of the most commonly available non-chemical fertilisers on the market.

Chicken / Poultry manure is a useful source of nitrogen, the main nutrient that plants need for green leafy growth. It also contains smaller amounts of other important nutrients.

However, Chicken / poultry manure is low in nutrients compared to synthetic fertilisers such as Growmore, as illustrated below, and it is slower to release its nutrient content, some of which will not be available until the soil warms up in late spring and summer, even if the product is applied in late winter or early spring.

Typical analysis of dried and pelleted Chicken / poultry manure:*

N** (nitrogen)         4%

P** (phosphorus)    2%

K** (potassium)     1%

Typical analysis of Growmore:

N** (nitrogen)         7%

P** (phosphorus)    7%

K** (potassium)      7%

* Actual nutrient content is highly variable 

* N as ammoniacal nitrogen, P as phosphorus pentoxide, K as potassium oxide.

As the chicken manure includes some many nutrition, but the fresh chicken manure contain many moisture and bacterial, and it is not suitable for storage and transportation, thus we need to use the chicken manure dryer to deduct the moisture.
