Poultry Waste Management Education
The Poultry Waste Management program from OSU Extension features classes, a newsletter and an informative website. These resources were created to help Oklahoma’s poultry producers and poultry waste applicators by providing convenient access to poultry waste management education schedules, regulatory information, related publications and local Extension contacts.
- For more information about Oklahoma's poultry waste management regulations, visit
the Oklahoma Regulations page.
- Go to the publications page to view, print or download more related materials, including past issues of Poultry
Practices, the OSU Extension industry newsletter.
- Oklahoma Litter Market serves as a FREE communication resource that lists sellers and service providers
of poultry litter. Marketing poultry litter to more distant nutrient-deficient areas
or for further processing offers one solution to the litter surplus issue associated
with high production areas. View current fertilizer prices Two River Coop. The Oklahoma Litter Market participant listings are added and maintained throughout
the year. Download the Oklahoma Litter Market flyer to view the list of sellers and service providers. Contact Brad Bain, brad.bain@okstate.edu, to be added or update your listing.
- Poultry Litter Transfer Program – This program will provide an incentive to the poultry grower to sell litter to a
qualified buyer but also to the buyer to help offset the cost of transport. For more
information and guidelines, view the Poultry Litter Transfer Program document.
- Neighbors Helping Neighbors – Addressing challenges through voluntary programs. Bringing neighbors and poultry growers together to identify problems and implement solutions that reduce impacts of facilities on the local community by: Improving understanding of issues and concerns - Improving utilization of available or new programs and technologies to address concerns - Improving communication among neighbors and other partners - Improving protection of natural resources - Providing criteria to inform growers and integrators in planning future facilities.
