Ammonia Reduction & Reduced Beetle Larvae with MICROBE-LIFT® Technology in Poultry Composting in Honduras - Farm Waste Management

Lazarus & Lazarus, a technology-based construction firm in Honduras, contacted a distributor of Ecological Laboratories to explore technology to improve their poultry litter processing. Ecological Laboratories’ technologists devised a test protocol using MICROBE-LIFT® technology conducted at an experimental poultry farm. This farm is utilized to evaluate new technology to optimize efficiency of operations for poultry farms.

The objective of this trial was to determine if this technology could:

• Reduce ammonia to create a healthier environment for birds and workers
• Evaluate the incidence of beetle larvae in the broiler bedding
• Accelerate the composting process and produce a higher quality fertilizer.

All objectives of the program were successfully achieved
