Abstract:

Survey of poultry waste management in Namakkal district was carried out in four villages namely, Mohanur, Valayapatty, Ladduvaddi, Parali. The main purpose of the study is to assess the awareness among the people of the selected villages of Namakkal district about the poultry waste management and its disposal viz., manure, electricity, production etc., through questionnaire survey. Awareness of the electricity production from poultry droppings in selected villages was 21%. Most of them are using the poultry waste as manure to the crops and remaining excess waste was sent to Kerala and they used waste as manure in their Coconut and Arecanut field. Based on the questionnaire survey, it has been found that only 25% waste was used in villages as manure. 75% poultry waste was sent to Kerala. From the study, it was clearly noticed that nearly 50% of people are unaware of risks of improper disposal of waste before the awareness given.
