Nutrient Flow in Poultry Production • Nutrients arrive in feed. • Feed goes to chickens. • Chicken manure goes to fertilizer. • Forage goes tocattle. • Cattle manuregoes to fieldand creek. Very little nutrient leaves as meat or milk.
The Chemistry of Poultry Feeds • Corn • Soybeans • Milling/baking wastes • Fats • Phosphates • Sodium and Potassium Salts • Amino Acids • Trace minerals • Copper compounds • Zinc compounds • Vitamins • Antibiotics • Arsenic compounds • Others lc

Conclusions • Poultry feeds have intentionally elevated concentrations of P, Zn, Cu and As • Poultry fecal wastes, correspondingly, have elevated concentrations of P, Zn, Cu and As • Soils to which poultry fecal waste has been applied • Have elevated concentrations of P, Zn, Cu and As • Have the chemical signature of poultry fecal wastes and uncontaminated soil • Runoff water from soils to which poultry fecal waste has been applied • Have elevated concentrations of P, Zn, Cu and As • Maintain much of the chemical signature of poultry fecal wastes lc
