During an outbreak of avian influenza on a farm, it is critical to adequately process the manure to kill the virus before its use in agriculture. Aqueous extraction of poultry manure at high temperature (55-65°C) is an attractive method for the treatment of poultry manure, which extracts the nutrients and kills harmful microbes from the manure.
