Poultry farmers switch on to green energy

摘要

Two of the country's largest broiler producers are leading the drive towards burning poultry litter on their farms as a way of producing sustainable green energy from what is currently a waste product. Nigel Joice (pictured below) produces 840,000 birds at a time at his Uphouse Farm in Norfolk, while Stephen Hay, of Hay Farms, produces broilers on 12 sites in England, with stag turkeys grown on a further six sites in Wales.
