Manure Management for High-Rise Buildings - Houses 17. 18 & 19 <br /> The following manure management plan will be used for the 120,000 layers. <br /> K\- <br /> 1. Manure will be kept under the cages for the full length of production <br /> cycle (130 wks), or removed sooner should manure contractors require <br /> fertilizer for land spreading. <br /> 2. All management practices will be followed to keep the manure in dry <br /> form in order to minimize fly breeding and odor nuisance. <br /> A. Water cups will be checked daily for leaks and replaced as needed. <br /> B. Feed Conveyers will be checked daily for leaks, thus reducing <br /> rodent problems as well as fly breeding. <br /> C. Air will be circulated under the cages where manure will be kept <br /> to accelerate drying process. <br /> D. Portions of manure piles will be removed in case of water leaks, <br /> in order to prevent fly-breeding in wet areas. <br /> E. During high-risk periods(March to October),fly breeding activities <br /> will be routinely monitored and upon verification of breeding <br /> activities, necessary steps will be taken to correct the <br /> violations. If fly larva is identified, an approved fly-killer spray or <br /> bait will be used to control flies. <br /> 3. After the chicken manure is removed from buildings, it is to be stockpiled <br /> for no longer than necessary. This area will be routinely inspected to <br /> insure that manure is not left at this location, South of the high-rise units <br /> for more than 1-3 days. <br /> 4. Manure will be removed to crop and tree producers as a fertilizer. The <br /> rate of application will depend on the needs of those producers and the <br /> crop being fertilized. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
