Chicken feather: From waste to fertilizer
Excerpt
Poultry farms and entrepreneurs now need not worry on the disposal of the feathers of their dressed chickens. A technology that can convert chicken feathers into organic liquid fertilizer has been developed by the Pililla Poultry Processing Plant, Inc. (PPPPI) in Pililla, Rizal. It involves the treatment of the feathers with an enzyme-like product that liquefies not only the plumage but also the entire chicken carcasses. Occasion was a visitation of a livelihood project being implemented by the Aquaculture-based Countryside Development Enterprise Foundation, Inc. (ABCDEF), a joint venture of the Meralco Foundation, Inc. (MFI) and the government-hosted Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD).
