A comparative economic analysis of broiler litter usage alternatives as a source of fertilizer and a source of energy production in Jordan

Abstract EN

The increase of broilers production in Jordan makes it urgent to study broiler tiller produced.

So, the study uses the economics of broiler litter concerning its usage as a source of energy production or as a source of fertilizers.

The reuse of broiler litter (BL) will reduce the environmental impact.

This empirical term paper used the different alternatives to manage broiler tiller.

Many assumptions have been made to reach the feasibility of managing broiler litter.

The results showed that the cash flow of using litter as a source of fertilizer was higher compared to use it for energy production for the years of study (1992-2014).

The use of litter as a source of fertilizer as a source of fertilizer is more feasible than being used as a source of energy.

The study recommended that the collected litter of broiler farms should be treated through specialized party to increase the economic feasibility and minimize the environmental effects
