In the United state, the poultry industry generates over 50% of the agricultural profits while utilizing nearly 80% of the grain produced for feeds. An estimated 1 kg of litter is generated for each kg of broiler litter produced of which over 90% is land applied. Laboratory analyses were conducted to quantify phosphorus (P) and phosphatase compositions in soils enriched with broiler litter. Results indicated that the varoius P forms decreased with depth and were significantly (P<0.01) affected by season. Phosphatase activity was affected by the depth in the first year compared to the second year. The lowest phosphatase activity occured in fall.
