Descripción
Malpractices in poultry farms have great impact on public health and the environment. Unsafe disposal of dead birds from the farms is one of the major risk to be addressed. The intervention presented targets small and medium size farms to introduce a safe, easy and profitable way to dispose of dead birds. The methodology used to co-create the solution for the problem jointly with the beneficiaries in both private and public sector was a key for success. Composting of dead birds was chosen as the solution to test. Field intervention to test the solution was implemented to document the process and draw up recommendations for scale up.
