Abstract

Excerpts from the report: As of January 1, 1959, all poultry and poultry products moving In interstate or foreign commerce became subject to inspection for wholesomeness by representatives of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Effective sewage disposal will be one of the minimum operating requirements for poultry processing plants. Sewage can be disposed of through any one of several installations. In some instances, city sewers, the preferred method of disposal, are available. In other areas, conventional methods of sewage treatment, such as trickling filters or activated sludge, may be available or may be required. For many processors, however, these facilities may not be available or they may not have the capacity to handle poultry sewage. These processors may be in a position to consider a number of alternatives, including irrigation, as a means of disposal. For such processors, we present the following report in the hope that it may help in choosing the alternative which may be most desirable. The report also discusses the secondary effects on investment, operating costs, and benefits of such factors as chemical and physical characteristics of the waste, cover crops, acreage and type of land, climatic conditions, and other pertinent factors.
