Windrowing Chicken Litter

Video: Windrowing Chicken Litter

We have our usual between the flocks routine. Every now and then we add a few extra steps. Windrowing is something we do periodically to try and kill any unwanted pathogens in the litter. We do this by piling the litter in 2 windrows the length of the house. This causes the litter to go through a heat cycle which kills those pathogens. We use our John Deere 4066R to pull our Lewis Brothers Windrower.
