There are many ways of managing poultry litter.
1 Direct land application (this is common application)
2 Composting option ( I am sending my recent publication -review paper)
3 Biogas process (It can be co-fermented with other materials or alone to produce heat electricity and manure etc..)
4. Biogas process plus composting
5. Incineration to directly produce energy
6. Gasification

You could dry poultry litter, mix it with maize bran in the ratio of 3:1 (litter, 3kg: maize bran, 1 kg). This mixture is a very good feed for pigs (FOR THOSE WHO KEEP this type of animal anyway!)
