Dried poultry manure
Dried chicken manure comes from laying hens raised in free-range or barn systems. We offer both conventional and organic products. Dried chicken manure is a top-quality fertilizer that particularly promotes soil life on your land. If you would like to use our HTK for your biogas plant, we can supply you with fresh, continuous-feed material so that you can achieve the best possible gas yield in your biogas plant. We adapt to your needs and deliver on a continuous basis according to your requirements—both in winter and in summer.
Application
Application rates are based on the current Fertilizer Ordinance (DüMV). Fall fertilization of up to 60 kg of total nitrogen is possible for winter rapeseed, winter barley, and cover crops. Topdressing in the spring using appropriate spreading techniques is also possible and has been successfully practiced in many parts of Germany for many years. A maximum of 170 kg of nitrogen from organic fertilizers may be applied per hectare per year.
Storage
Storage at the edge of the field or on a silo/storage plate is possible if the legal requirements are met.
Advantages
Dried chicken manure is a top-quality fertilizer that is biologically active and particularly effective at promoting soil life. Over the long term, you’ll achieve higher yields compared to fields fertilized solely with mineral fertilizers. In addition, you also enjoy a significant cost advantage over the use of mineral fertilizers. Furthermore, dried chicken manure has the advantage of taking effect particularly quickly, since it contains no bedding material.
You can find all the advantages of our organic fertilizers here. And you can find out more about how you can benefit from using farm manure as a substrate for biogas plants here.
Effectiveness
With the exception of nitrogen, all nutrients are 100% available. If HTK is applied in the spring, for example, approximately 60–80% of the nitrogen can be expected to be available. For fall fertilization, the figure is approximately 30–50%. This generally results in a very long-lasting, sustained nitrogen effect.

Up to 70 %
Cost savings compared to mineral fertilization.
Nutrients
It contains the main nutrients NPK as well as CaO and MgO and important trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo, B).
Humus build-up
The build-up of humus improves the soil properties and secures the yield.
Physical soil properties
Increased water storage capacity & water holding capacity, better aeration and faster warming of the soil.
Chemical soil properties
Clay-humus complexes increase the nutrient storage and nutrient retention capacity and thus the plant availability of nutrients.
Microorganisms
promote soil life and improve the conversion of organic matter. The soil is more vital and resistant.
