This work presents the initial results of a monitoring activity on poultry litter stored in small farm piles. The activity is part of a wider project that has the aim of improving poultry litter management for use as a raw material for the production of organic fertiliser. The practical activity consists in monitoring the temperature in the pile during the whole storage period and in analysing samples of the material at the beginning and at the end of the storage period, in order to verify if it meets the limits in chemical and microbiological parameters set by the Italian law on fertilisers (Dleg 75/2010). Initial results show that the material at the end of a three-month storage is compatible with its use as an organic fertiliser; the temperature in static-piles has a maximum value of around 55°C, while in piles turned monthly it exceeds 60°C.

Abstract
This work presents the initial results of a monitoring activity on poultry litter stored in small farm piles. The activity is part of a wider project that has the aim of improving poultry litter management for use as a raw material for the production of organic fertiliser. The practical activity consists in monitoring the temperature in the pile during the whole storage period and in analysing samples of the material at the beginning and at the end of the storage period, in order to verify if it meets the limits in chemical and microbiological parameters set by the Italian law on fertilisers (Dleg 75/2010). Initial results show that the material at the end of a three-month storage is compatible with its use as an organic fertiliser; the temperature in static-piles has a maximum value of around 55°C, while in piles turned monthly it exceeds 60°C.
