Composting wild birds, game birds and backyard poultry
Article Abstract:
Burial, landfilling and incineration have significant limitations compared to composting, which is a disposal option well-suited for managing and containing a highly pathogenic bird flu out-break with on-site carcass disposal and with other benefits such as inactivating the virus easily. A brief account about the static pile composting in which piles are constructed which generate sufficient heat that deactivate the virus, and in-vessel composting that takes place within a rotating drum, is presented.
