Litter Trading

Poultry Litter Sales and Purchasing

Nigel Berry has taken on the responsibility for litter trading following the retirement of Mark Godsall, who dedicated over 25 years to the industry. We are saddened to share that Mark passed away in July 2024.

Nigel, who worked alongside Mark for seven years, is FACTS qualified and based in the Cotswolds. He will be assisted by Mark Hammond based in Hereford. Together, they will be selling poultry litter, other livestock manures, and composts, with the capability to supply to AD Plants, Composters, and Growers. They offer comprehensive prices and prompt payment terms for purchased litter. Detailed records are maintained and available for full audit trails as required by the industry, alongside a comprehensive management package that includes environmental management, care and storage of manures, transport, and spreading to land as fertilizer.

Road haulage can be provided either by tractors and trailers, HGV Bulk Tippers or Walking Floors.

The Benefits of Poultry Litter

Poultry litter applied at 8 tonnes per hectare (3T/acre) will provide the following plant available nutrients in the first year: Nitrogen 72kg/ha, Phosphate 120 kg/ha, Potash 130kg/ha plus beneficial levels of sulphur, magnesium and other macro and micro nutrients.

• Improves soil organic matter.
• Beneficial to soil biology.
• Improves and maintains soil structure.
• Readily available phosphate and nitrogen improves crop establishment when incorporated into the seedbed prior to sowing eg. oilseed rape and winter wheat.
• Nutrient benefits in 2nd and subsequent years.
• Easily stockpiled and spread with conventional and rear discharge spreaders, achieving good work rates as application rates do not normally exceed 8tonne/ha.

GAMBER POULTRY LITTER & AVARA team up to help the Wye

We are proud to announce that we have signed a new contract pledging to ensure that no poultry litter produced by AVARAs’ farms in the river Wye catchment area will be sold as fertiliser in the Wye catchment as from January 2024.

“Patrick Lewis, Managing Director, Gamber, said: “We are pleased to play an important role delivering actions that can help improve the health of a national treasure. While this is a significant step, it is only one small piece of a much larger puzzle, and we need to see similar action elsewhere. We hope that Avara’s actions set a strong precedent for others in the catchment to act, and that we see long-term sustainable solutions in place, that tackle the wide range of root causes.”
