The shed lengths are 156m. Each shed can easily accommodate the required windrow required for composting of the birds. Using current minimum litter measurements of 2000m3, (125m3 per shed) which is the amount placed into the sheds at the beginning of the batch. On the most conservative approach there is a need for a maximum of a further 289m3 organic matter (hay) per shed or 4624m3 for the whole of farm. 6.6.1 Conclusion Based on the experience of Russell Chickens and the long history of farming poultry that always go to plan. The very nature of farming is to expect the sometimes things don’t unexpected. The last ten years has resulted in not having to use the contingency measures put in place to manage a mass death of birds, on the site. It is the intention and subsequent management of this business not to have a need to implement this plan. State-of-the-art shedding, alarmed and back-up alarmed controlled environment sheds, access to the sheds is restricted, wild birds are prevented from entering sheds, a treated water supply along with other biosecurity measures significantly reduces the risk of a mass death. However, in the event of needing to dispose of a mass death, this report indicates the most likely measures taken. In following the DPI procedures, and the Ausvetplan, we have the step by step approach for dealing with a possible disaster- making for a clearer course of action, resulting in a better use of the resources available at the time, and an end result of a cleaner
