Unlock Opportunities with Poulterra's Sustainable Poultry Solutions

Poultry Today

The poultry industry in the United States has experienced significant growth as one of the most sustainable and lowest-cost sources of animal protein available. We’re now seeing companies committed to humanely raised poultry and motivated by a collective mission to feed American families.

This success has created areas of heavily concentrated poultry production, which generate in total, more than 14 million tons of poultry litter annually, as an unrefined fertilizer.

The industry is facing a number of environmental, economic, and technical challenges that have prevented poultry litter from being processed into higher-value products, while creating barriers to future growth.

The application of poultry litter on land is becoming increasingly difficult due to environmental concerns and regulatory restrictions. Domestically produced high-quality renewable fertilizers are in short supply for agricultural, horticultural, and home and garden users.

As the demand for affordable and sustainable food production for American families continues to rise, there is an opportunity to rethink the future of poultry with a more integrated, local, U.S.-based solution.

Bedding and litter management today is the last part of the poultry supply chain that has yet to be standardized or optimized, largely due to a lack of alternatives.

Poultry growers are often forced to trade performance and livability standards against operating costs.

That’s where Poulterra™ comes in.

Solutions in Sustainable Poultry Farming

It’s time to maximize performance and sustainability.

Bedding made of wood shavings not only comes at a high cost, it’s also subject to declining domestic supply. At the same time, disposing of litter in condensed areas of poultry production is limited to spring and fall crop cycles, and often has nutrient application limits and environmental liability risk.

Poultry growers lack options, and the industry continues to see delays in cleaning out poultry houses. This further reduces operating and performance metrics in raising birds and lowers the overall efficiency of the system.

Optimized operations for growers and integrators by standardizing the type of bedding, frequency of cleanouts, and performance metrics across all processing complexes.

Higher yields, increased livability, improved bird welfare, less chemical amendment usage, less risk of disease, reduced ammonia and emissions, and lower electrical and heat consumption in houses.

Unmatched decarbonization impact through reduction of nutrient runoff, sequestration of CO₂ in the roots of miscanthus, volatilization of ammonia to N₂O, and production of low carbon fuels.

Continuous, year round supply of poultry litter feedstocks for anaerobic digestion featuring zero cost bedding.

It’s time to unlock the value in poultry litter.

Poultry bedding is expensive and difficult to source, while selling litter is becoming more and more challenging to dispose of. Today, growers need cost-effective bedding and an environmentally-friendly home for their litter to be incentivized to clean out.

Developers seeking to process poultry litter need to secure a ratable supply of bedding that can be sourced on a long-term, fixed price basis. The bedding must also be free of wood products since their presence would render it ineligible for generating a Renewable Identification Number (RIN), the carbon credit created for producing renewable fuel under the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard.

Rapid scalability, supported by a proven and established miscanthus bedding product and differentiated platform.

A fully integrated, nature-based supply chain solution that significantly reduces emissions at no cost.

Secure long-term fixed price feedstocks and more infrastructure-based financing opportunities.

Leading position as miscanthus bedding provider, creating opportunity for added revenue through carbon credits, nutrient credits, and land rental for growing miscanthus.

It’s time to innovate at scale with a proven technology platform.

There are limited, proven technologies to process poultry litter into renewable sources at scale, few of which operate in North America today. Without a proven refining technology, securing project financing can be extremely challenging.

Proven, commercial-scale refining technology capable of converting miscanthus litter into low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG), fertilizers, and industrial CO₂.
