Very interesting question. Biochar actually accelerates the composting process. bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/resources/the-influence-of-biochar-addition-on-chicken-manure-composting-and-associated-methane-and-carbon-dioxide-emissions/
Thank you so much, I appreciate this. Let's say in ideal situation * Good weather *Stock density is average *Minimal water spillage What's can be average length of time for litter before change
All those are relative. Good weather here is not the same as good weather there. I've seen people who managed to raise 8 weeks broilers on a litter without changing. For layer chickens, you can go as long as 6 months without changing and when you do, it not because of odour or wetness, it's usually because it has turned to dust There's actually no one-size-fits-all answer for how long before you change litter for broilers
I wish I had seen this before starting my poultry house I used rice bran instead, thank you for this video am a first-time poultry farmer and I love all your videos so insightful and I trust ALL your videos God bless you.
TOMBS UP FOR U BROTHER U ARE TOO MUCH. MAY GOD ALMIGHTY ALWAYS SUPPORTING U. I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO BEFORE BUT JUST NOW I RE-WATCH THE VIDEO IT SEEMS I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE N IT LOOKING INTERESTED EACH TIME SOMEONE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. TOMS UP FOR U BROTHER.
This is very informative sir.... You always do justice to every teaching... And its always result's-ful when ever I follow all the guidelines you give sir..... Thanks
Good day Mr Opeoluwa thanks for always educating us. Pls is this applicable to be used for day old chicken. If not from how many weeks can will start using it. Thanks
@@patricknnagbo1349 There is no one-size-fits-all answer to that. Factors like stocking density, prevailing weather, and litter management will determine when the litter will be due for a change.
Hello i just now find your channel and right away subcribe. I am a young poultry farmer a lady. But i dont cement my floor can i use chrcoal the same way.
Hello, thank you for this useful information. I am trying that actually. What about coconut husk, it is absorbant too. May be we can use it like that too. It can be more ecofriendly
It is more suited for the deep litter system. Except you have a kind of setting where you have to put shavings under your cages for the poop to fall on it, then this may not be useful for the conventional battery cage system with a drain.
Will the mixing of charcoal with wood shelving when preparing the bedding not affect the end product. ie the waste of the birds been converted yo manure.
Thank you, and welcome to the Channel. Overall, the time of removal will depend on a couple of factors. Stocking density, age of birds, prevailing weather, litter management on the part of the workers. This means there is no right or wrong answer to your question. What I can say is that this method prolongs the time.
Hi hello sir. 1) Is the charcoal and the wood saw hull mix before put the chicks? 2) is it good if I use rice hull and carbonized rice hull? Thank you God bless
Thanks for the info. Does the charcoal affect the composting process?

Thanx for that I didn't know
Have to try it
Thanks 🙏 fr the information sir
How many weeks can it last with the mix charcoal
Thank you may l confirm, after all this investment, after how long should l change
The time it takes depends on a number of factors
- Stocking density
- Water spillage
- Relative humidity
etc.
@@feathers_pro okay thank you loads
How regular should the bedding be replaced since they will lay feaces on it?
Thank u so much
Great info Sir... Pls can I mix rice husk with charcoal?
How long will it take before the bedding is changed?
Nice video as always 👍👍👍
Thanks as always
Thanks bros, I think this is applicable to layers too?
Yes, on deep litter
How often should it be changed

Thanks my sister. You are great.

❤Nice one.
Well said I want to removed the odors bad from the chicken manure it's smells an the flys will get some an lactic bacillus microbes
Pls can we use arches
Yes, but not the same application.
Thanks for the info but can i use the manure mixed with charcoal for farming vegetables?
Yes. It also quickens rate of decomposition
@@feathers_pro How often can we change the litter?
Yes! It's called Bio Char!!!
Wow good one 👍
Thanks my man....very useful video...charcoal to fill up a room will be damn expensive.
True!
Hello i just now find your channel and right away subcribe. I am a young poultry farmer a lady. But i dont cement my floor can i use chrcoal the same way.
Hello, thank you for this useful information. I am trying that actually. What about coconut husk, it is absorbant too. May be we can use it like that too. It can be more ecofriendly
Just coming across this video. How does this apply to the cage farming system?
谢谢你
Thanks for this sir, but after using charcoal and sawdust. Can it last for 6 weeks before I clean it? Or I need to clean it always?
I need to know too
If you make it 6 inches or more in depth yes it will last longer you just need to stir it up every few days with a shovel
Even sand for it dries quickly and you can it one time to loosened it
Thank you for this. In a situation where the birds are always throwing their water and making the liter wet, would this apply?
@@ria5435 Sand does not dry quickly, and it can’t absorb odours, and will not become useful fertilizer (biochar) when removed from the coop.
Can this charcoal be used for battery cages too
It is more suited for the deep litter system. Except you have a kind of setting where you have to put shavings under your cages for the poop to fall on it, then this may not be useful for the conventional battery cage system with a drain.
Can I use charcoal powder or must it be the chunks?
@@feathers_pro senior please wats the best way to reduce smell in battery cage... Esp the H type
Hopefully, I can raise 150 to 200 chickens in residential area doing this without smell....is it possible?
Yes 100%
Will the mixing of charcoal with wood shelving when preparing the bedding not affect the end product. ie the waste of the birds been converted yo manure.
Can wood shavings be replaced by saw dust too?
Nice information
Combien de temps la litière dois faire dans le poulailler
Is the charcoal the same as barbque Charcoal?
YES
Kindly mention the quantity used for 1000sqft.
do I have to use bamboo charcoal or can I use normal charcoal
Pls is saw dust good for deep litter
Interesting
Do you have secrets for duck coops?
Do your prepare the floor like this even when the chicks are Day Old, sir?
It's the best practice if you can
What brand did you use for the Charcoal? I'm looking for good options, but it's difficult to find an affordable option!
super easy to make your pwn charcoal...
Thx bro
Even sand for it dries quickly and you can rake it onetime to loosened it letting it to dry if there's moist
Sand is heavy
can we use hemp as the bedding instead of the wood chippings? how often do you usually replace the bedding?
Do you do training from how to build poultry deep cage to how to make the broiler grow for sale?
Pls as starter which chemical can you use to fumegat your deep litter before the birds arrives

Hi hello sir.
1) Is the charcoal and the wood saw hull mix before put the chicks?
2) is it good if I use rice hull and carbonized rice hull?

But broiler can become dirty 😢
Depends on the mixing ratio and charcoal type. But, not many people care about that
