MaaS: A turnkey solution for sustainable bedding renewed annually

The poultry industry has scaled up significantly over the last 75 years, supported by over 25,000 family farms raising chickens and turkeys across the country. It’s now the number one consumed protein in the U.S., and we’re ready to help redefine poultry farming to embrace the circular bioeconomy.

Poulterra™ was created on the belief that poultry litter has far more value if upcycled and processed into sustainable products like renewable natural gas, organic and sustainable fertilizers, and industrial CO₂. By partnering with growers on a long-term basis, our unique Manure-as-a-Service™ (MaaS) offering provides bedding at no cost, in exchange for the previous year’s litter (bedding plus manure).

A Cost-Effective Solution for Growers

Standardize bedding and litter.

The same bedding with the same annual cleanout allows for more consistent, year-over-year performance. By using miscanthus and contracting annually instead, we help you with improved operations and livability.

Improved profits with an annual cleanout cycle vs. every 3+ years.
Raising chickens with a predictable supply of consistent, high-quality bedding.
Ensure strong performance by managing moisture in poultry houses with miscanthus, 3x more absorbent than conventional wood shaving bedding.

Save money and time.

If litter is removed from a poultry house, it must be replaced with new bedding. Poulterra handles it all, so there’s no more searching for bedding, no more searching for a litter buyer, and no more searching for cleanout times.

Carbon-negative, miscanthus grass bedding is grown on or near the poultry farm.
Management of the cleanout and spreading of new bedding and all logistics.
Reduce the use of chemicals and insecticides to save money.
Save yourself the hassle of spending hours or even days sourcing new bedding or finding a buyer for litter.

Better communities across the U.S.

By removing litter from fields, you’re acting as a good steward of your land and community. When you sign up for the MaaS program, your litter gets upgraded into high-quality commercial fertilizers while also creating a renewable source of fuel and energy. These upgraded, commercial-grade fertilizers can then be precision-applied, helping save cost and improve crop yields.

Reduce odors for local residents by stopping the spread of litter on fields.
Eliminate potential runoff into watersheds that cause pollution.
Reduce emissions related to ammonia volatilization into N2O, a greenhouse gas 300x worse than CO₂.
Partner with Poulterra to support more than 1.5 million direct and indirect jobs within the industry.
