Resumo: | Arkansas ranks first in broiler production in the USA with more than a billion broiler and 1.5 million tons of litter produced in 1993.  Transporting litter from western to eastern Arkansas can accomplish two goals: 1) avoid potential threat to clean water in western Arkansas and 2) can increase productivity of graded lands in the Delta.  This paper examines the feasibility of litter transport from areas of high poultry concentrations to the Delta for use as a soil amendment.  We establish the conditions for economical litter transport from source to destinations and determine the optimal rates of litter applications.  The results suggest that it is economical to transport significant portions of litter.
