Key Points

  • To examine the role of free-range birds in promoting soil and plant development through their natural behaviors.
  • Observational study of free-range chickens and turkeys in backyard settings
  • Analysis of soil health and plant growth in areas frequented by these birds
  • Assessment of nutrient contributions from bird waste
  • Free-range birds significantly improved soil quality by enhancing nutrient levels
  • Increased plant growth observed in areas with active bird presence
  • Bird waste contributed to richer organic matter in the soil

Abstract

Animal-plant relationships generate a vital, symbiotic cycle that refines ecosystem health. Free-range birds of chicken and turkey (tractor chicken and turkey) enhance soil and plant/tree development through a sustainable/biological weeding method while releasing nutrient-rich waste. As plants provide oxygen and food for animals, the decomposed organic matter from animals’ wastes enriches soil, enhancing plant growth and development.
