Duplicate substrates of broiler litter from different sources were treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide (HP), placed in plastic bags and covered with dacron at 30% moisture and embedded at the center of a broiler deep-stack. Neutral detergent fiber (NDF; ash-free) concentration (40.9, 35.2, 35.7, 34.0 and 33.4%; SE 0.80) and recovery after deep-stacking (87.9, 79.3, 79.9, 77.4 and 76.4%; SE 1.79) were decreased (P...
