About Poultry Litter Equipment
Working with poultry litter requires specialized equipment that goes beyond the dry-type manure spreaders used by many livestock operations. Many poultry operations will windrow, compost, and reuse the litter for multiple poultry flocks because, in addition to waste products, the litter contains bedding that’s used in the poultry operation.

For those operations, equipment such as poultry house blowers, litter windrowers, litter turners, litter blades, or litter pulverizers are used to form a windrow for composting, where the litter naturally heats up and kills disease organisms before it’s reused. When a complete cleanout of a poultry barn is required, you need additional equipment, which can go by various names, including washer/sprayers, wall cleaners, cleanout machines, housecleaners, conveyors, or litter spreaders.
