Proper litter preparation helps ensure a healthy environment for the new chicks and helps reduce the potential for bird health problems. In-house windrow composting is a cost-effective management practice that reduces the amount of pathogenic microorganisms in poultry litter. This technique improves the overall quality of litter that will be reused for the growth of successive flocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn-house windrow composting, or “windrowing” as it is often called, is a simple technique to implement into your litter management practices. After the birds are removed from the house, the litter is piled into windrows along the length of the house. Natural bacterial metabolism generates heat within these piles or rows. Within 48 hours, the internal temperature of these piles will surpass 130°F, which is sufficient to inactive most pathogenic microorganisms found in poultry litter. Most producers will maintain the windrows for 5-9 days before spreading the litter out to be reused for the next flock of birds. Often, producers will turn these piles during this time to release moisture, increase aeration, and ensure that all parts of the litter windrow are heated to inactive pathogens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the increasing cost of quality bedding material and its decreasing availability, proper litter management is now more important than ever. Priefert’s Litter Back Black is specifically designed for litter windrowing and is a solid, yet still economical, choice for producers. This heavy duty blade mounts to the 3-point hitch on your tractor. Its 360 degree pivoting offset and wall scraping blade speeds up the house cleaning process and provides a more complete cleanout. This blade also comes with a 10” x 12” removable wing attachment to ensure that you can clean all the way to the sidewalls. With this blade, you can not only create safe litter conditions for your birds, but you will also save money by reducing expensive cleanout and shavings costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Priefert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44961811759407,"sku":"P-PILBBBE","price":4135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/7880\/5551\/files\/litter_blade1_11bc1f01-b0b5-437b-8071-cb9440588fa3.jpg?v=1754520331"},{"product_id":"litter-saver","title":"Litter Saver","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eOur classic 3pt hitch attachment Litter Saver is available in 5’ and 7’ models and is the most affordable machine on the market for litter management and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1685717618697_805\"\u003eLS5, LS7 Litter Saver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLitter conditions are very important to the performance and health of today’s market poultry, making proper litter management a top priority for producers.

This design allows you to clean up hard pan problems by having dry litter all the way to the house pad, and drier litter increases the “livability” percentage in houses. The skids of the Litter Saver are designed to penetrate litter and ride on top of the pad, for efficient cleaning every time that results in a smooth, soft, well-aerated surface.
