Although litter will function more efficiently on an earthen floor, a concrete floor is advised for a perfect disinfection at the end of each batch. About 2-3” of litter should be put into the house initially and, as this breaks down, more should be added. Before adding fresh litter material, remove the caked up and wet litter material. Rack the litter thoroughly to break the clumps with the help of the litter racker and allow it to dry. Sprinkle a mixture of wood ash and fertilizer grade superphosphate in the ratio of 4:1, at the ratio of 5 kg per 10 m2 area, before racking the litter to prevent ammonia gas release from litter. Addition of slaked lime may be avoided that will increase the pH of the litter which in turn release more ammonia from the litter and also favours the growth of E. coli, the most common pathogen of poultry. At the beginning the litter contains less moisture. If the moisture level exceeds 75 % due to poor ventilation, too many birds, irregular stirring or damp floor, the litter will cease to function efficiently. Because the manure digesting bacteria can be active only within 70 % moisture level of the litter. Some time many birds will bear “balls” made of litter materials at their claw tips. Ball formation is a sign of bad litter management. Built-up litter has a very important role in providing warmth to the birds in winter. In winter the litter depth can be increased while in summer it may be reduced. Good Quality Chicken Litter must absorb moisture from droppings quickly. It must release moisture and dries up rapidly. It must have least tendency to form cakes. It must be free from mould growth, sharp objects and other objectionable materials. It must be non-toxic, inert, compressible. should possess good insulating properties and protect chicks from extremes of climate. It must be cheap and locally available, biodegradable, supply some nutrients to the birds and form a good quality manure later.
