Abstract
Pine shavings poultry litter from four growouts was analyzed for particle size distribution and chemical composition. Little change in the particle size distribution was observed after the first growout. The majority of the nutrient mass was associated with the larger size particles [those failing to pass a size 50 (0.297 mm) sieve] while the nutrient density increased with the smaller size fractions. Crude fiber decreased while ash and crude protein increased as particle size decreased.
