Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of a composition containing guanidinoacetic acid and glycine for reducing the moisture in faeces of poultry and / or for reducing the nitrogen content in faeces of poultry.
• Phenomena can be countered by using the following methods or devices:
• Manure separators which are mainly used in pig and cattle farming
• the solid phase can be composted or dried and used thermally. There are special ones for thermal use
• Described incinerators (EP 2249080 A1).
• the liquid phase is applied to agricultural areas or can be further concentrated.
• Ammonium carbonate, solid fertilizer and industrial / drinking water is converted.
• a disadvantage of all processes is the high expenditure on equipment for treating faeces. The amount of faeces at the point of origin is not reduced.
• nitrogen compounds in the faeces are bound in different ways and is either released too quickly or too slowly for the plant.
• Poultry faeces have bound large amounts of nitrogen in the form of uric acid. This can mean that the nitrogen in the faeces is counted towards the permitted amount of nitrogen, but the nitrogen cannot be used by the plants.
• Liquid faeces can also be used in healthy ones Animals occur. Relocation, change of feed, increased outside temperatures,
• green fodder is a reason for more fluid faeces.
• the aim is to avoid or at least largely reduce the harmful effects of faeces on the animals with a high density of housing, low disposal costs, easy cleaning of the stalls and easy transport of the faeces:
• Liquid excrement can easily drain from the slatted floor.
• a manure board or a manure bunker can be used in part of the house to remove the excrement from the animal.
• the methods used are labor-intensive and the moisture in the manure per se is not reduced, but only the probability of contact with the damp manure is reduced.
• the minimum amount of litter must be adapted to the expected amount of moisture. With less humidity, less litter can be used and thereby both the costs for the litter and the costs for the disposal of the litter after use can be reduced.
• the above-mentioned methods are therefore only partially effective and are only aimed at reducing the opportunities for contact with damp faeces.
• the disadvantage of keeping them in cages is that they are not kept appropriately. In addition, cages are or will be banned in more and more countries.
• the disadvantage of method F is that bentonite must be added in large quantities (percentage range).
• the present invention is based on the object of improving the quality of the feces of poultry that arise during the keeping, rearing or fattening of the poultry at the place of origin. Furthermore, the moisture in the faeces should be reduced in order to reduce inflammation and diseases in the animals.

• Studies for chickens [Corzo A .; Kidd, MT (2004) Dietary Glycine needs of broiler chicks, Poult. Be. 83 (8), 1382-4)] have shown that glycine is a limiting nutrient, although it is also produced in the animal itself.
• guanidinoacetic acid and its salts In contrast to creatine, guanidinoacetic acid and its salts have a significantly higher stability in acidic aqueous solution and are only converted into creatine under physiological conditions. Guanidinoacetic acid is only converted into creatine after absorption, particularly in the liver. Thus, in contrast to creatine, the majority of the administered or fed guanidinoacetic acid is not caused by instability reactions, e.g. B. in the stomach, broken down and excreted before resorption, but is actually available for the corresponding physiological metabolic reactions.
