Croptek Organic:
Understanding Poultry Litter

There are many different types of poultry farms and many different poultry litters. We deal mainly in turkey litter from Bernard Matthew‘s turkeys because it is the most nutrient rich litter available. Many lesser litters can be bought much cheaper, but the haulage and application costs are the same, which makes these cheaper litters more expensive in the end.

Harvesting the potential of poultry manure

Croptek Organic is one of the largest suppliers of turkey poultry litter in the UK.

About us

Croptek Organic is able to recommend, supply and offer an application service to farmers throughout East Anglia.

Poultry manure is a natural fertiliser, rich in all the minerals required to improve soils and therefore crop yields. It is in high demand for sugar beet, potatoes, onion, carrots and OSR crops in East Anglia because of the sandier soil types.

As a business, we are able to supply both regular poultry litter and also certified organic litter to organic growers.

The benefits

Poultry litter doesn’t affect your crops in the same way as commercial fertilisers. Using litter is a slower, longer term process and unless your soil is nutrient deficient you will not likely see any benefits to litter over commercial fertiliser in the first year. You will most likely need to balance off your crop requirements with commercial fertilisers anyway.

Deliveries

Many farmers in the past have ordered their poultry litter on the basis of ’just in time’ which has been workable when demand was small. Today, however, demand has increased dramatically over the last few years and with the establishment of the power stations and environmental changes, the slack has gone out of the supply system.

Minimum order sizes are as follows:
20t delivered by 8 wheelers to hard standing and solid field locations.
28t delivered by arctic units to hard standing only.
Not available for garden allotments.
