[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1833328, member: 43196"] Turkey and broiler litter should be very similar. There will be more variation between loads of broiler litter from different sources than there is variation between broiler and turkey litter. In a sense shavings decreases the fertilizer value, at least what is available immediately to the vegetation. The shavings that are present bind the nitrogen within the litter making it unavailable to the plants until the shavings break down. That amount of time varies based on climatic conditions but the most control over this process that the producer has is consideration of the particle size of the savings. For example, sawdust will break down faster and have more immediate nutrient availability than wood chips, everything else being equal. [/QUOTE]
