Abstract

Farming of chickens for the purpose of meat production leads to the generation of significant volumes (estimated to be 89,000 tonnes per annum) of solid wastes, which include chicken manure, feed residues, litter, dead chicken carcasses and meat processing residues. Poor management of these wastes can create major environmental and public health issues. Further, poor handling and management of chicken industry waste is deemed preventable, and is poor environmental practice. The major wastes like poultry feathers, offal and litter have different field applications. Poultry offal contains certain nutrients and can be used as a dried poultry manure and fertilizer or as an organic raw material for methane production. Poultry offal waste from AVADI Municipality will be managed in this research. Quantitative and Qualitative analysis of poultry offal waste will be carried out for AVADI Municipality. Quantification was carried for about a week in each zone which covers offseason, festival holidays and seasonal periods. AVADI Municipality consists of about 149 shops among which 20 shops are working only during Sunday and the Municipality is divided into 3 zones.

Zone 1 comprises of Pattabiram and Muthapudupet where there are 36 retailers and 3 wholesalers generates about 800kg of offal waste. Zone 2 comprises of Chekkadu, Avadi market and Kovilpathagai where there are 39 retailers and 3 wholesalers generates about 700kg of offal waste. Zone 3comprises of Paruthipet, Thirumullaivoyal and Annanur where there are 63 retailers and 5 wholesalers generates about 1600kg of offal waste. On an average AVADI Municipality generates about 3 tonnes of poultry offal waste for a week.
