the value of animal wastes as nitrogen fertilizer (Choi and Moore, 2008). V. C onclusion The study conclude that treating recycled poultry litter with alum can increase total nitrogen and ammonium ion concentration of the litter and reduce pH, total volatile fatty acid and soluble reactive phosphorus content of the litter, thereby making the litter to be a better manure for crop production and reduce odour in poultry houses.
