Validation:
In the early 90"s we went through numerous tests, research (some by us and the University of GA, some by other universities, i.e. Dr Lewis Carr of University of MD) and contacts throughout the academic community. Much of this information is posted on our website. We have reams of paper from all sources validating the use of processed poultry litter as organic fertilizer. I believe that chicken litter is the most tested material in the history of the world and all results are very affirmative. Perhaps best of all, it is a renewable resource that is produced by chickens at the rate of 6000 tons per day in Georgia!!
