With the increasing demand for poultry products, broiler production has expanded rapidly, leading to various environmental challenges associated with that sustained growth. Addressing these issues is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of the industry and minimizing its impact on the environment. This chapter covers repurposing poultry manure and litter. It begins by outlining nutrient management planning practices over the decades, before discussing their challenges. Next, air quality challenges and sustainability are explored. The chapter closes with a section exploring improvement opportunities.
